We use persistent cookies when you log onto our site to stop you having to re-type information and they remain on your hard disk until you delete them. Most browsers are automatically set to accept cookies and you should be able to restrict or disable them if you wish by adjusting the settings on your browser.

When we share it
We may disclose your information to third parties in certain circumstances but we will not sell, rent or trade your personal information.

We may share your information with our funders or potential funders, such as our bank and with our professional advisors who have a reasonable need to see it. We may share your information with any group companies of ours so that they can provide any products and services to you where you have personally requested them or where we feel such information is necessary to keep you informed of any products or services that they believe will be of interest to you. We may provide anonymous aggregated data to reputable third parties on a commercial basis. We will give third party providers who supply services to us, or who process information on our behalf, incidental access to your information but will always take steps to ensure their security measures are adequate to protect your information. We will disclose your information to enforcement authorities if asked to do so, or to a third party in the context of actual or threatened legal proceedings or if otherwise required to do so by law.
How we keep it secure
Only authorized personnel and contractors have access to your information. We will keep your information secure by taking appropriate technical and organizational measures against its unauthorized or unlawful processing and against its accidental loss, destruction or damage. We will keep you on our mailing lists until you ask us to remove you from them.
Transfers outside Europe
Data protection legislation is harmonized throughout the European Economic Area (‘EEA’) which comprises the EU member states, Norway, Iceland and Liechtenstein. Countries outside the EEA do not generally have the same level of protection for personal information as those within the EEA. If you are from outside the EEA, we will transfer that information to your home country or territory for the purposes set out in “How we use it” above. If you provide us with your information, we will assume you agree to this transfer. If you are from the EEA, we will not transfer any personal information we collect from you outside the EEA.
