Data protection law

This notice sets out most of your rights under the 2018 Data Protection Law:

How the law protects you

Data Protection law says that we are allowed to use personal information only if we have a proper reason to do so. The law says we must have one or more of these reasons:

• To fulfil a contract we have with you, or
• When it is our legal duty, or
• When it is in our legitimate interest,
• or When you consent to it.

A legitimate interest is when we have a business or commercial reason to use your information. But even then, it must not unfairly go against what is right and best for you. If we rely on our legitimate interest, we will tell you what that is.

How we use your personal information

Your data will always be dealt with responsibly and in accordance with the Data Protection Act 1998 and the new laws. Information stored or collected about you helps us improve our service and helps to make sure that any agreement you have with us is run smoothly.
