Our website itself does not directly collect any personal information from you. Our website is provided by Juniper Websites who collect standard Internet log information that details visitor behaviour patterns - we will not be able to identify you from the information collected.  They do this to help us learn more about how the website is being used and how it can be improved. 

Our website does, however, utilise online forms for you to contact us and register for events. We will only collect personal data when we have your explicit consent to do so. All personal data is managed in accordance with our obligations as a Data Controller.

Data processing is carried out in accordance with Article 6 (1) of the GDPR on the basis of our legitimate interest in improving stability and functionality.  The data will not be passed on or used in any other way.  However, we reserve the right to check the server log files subsequently, if there are any concrete indications of illegal use. 

Security

We are committed to ensuring that your information is secure. In order to prevent unauthorised access or disclosure, we have put in place suitable physical, electronic and managerial procedures to safeguard and secure the information we collect online.
