Data Security
We follow the key principle of data protection by securely processing your data using the most ‘appropriate technical and organisational measures’. However, even with all the best systems in place, unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. Although we will do our best to protect your personal data, we cannot guarantee the security of the data transmitted to our site, which means you will take the risks and responsibilities for any data that you transmit to our website . Once we have received your information, we will use strict procedures and security features to try to prevent unauthorised access.
What does the UK GDPR say about security?
Article 5(1)(f) of the UK GDPR concerns the ‘integrity and confidentiality’ of personal data. It says that personal data shall be:
‘Processed in a manner that ensures appropriate security of the personal data, including protection against unauthorised or unlawful processing and against accidental loss, destruction or damage, using appropriate technical or organisational measures’
This means that we will never share your personal data with anyone or business entity without your consent unless it is to comply with our legal obligations.
