We employ the services of Google Analytics (the Analytics Company). Further information concerning the nature of the services which they provide to us is set out in our Cookie Policy here.

How we protect your data

We aim to ensure that your Personal Information is secure. In order to prevent unauthorised access, loss, misuse or alteration, we have put in place appropriate physical, technical and organisational measures to safeguard and secure the Personal Information we collect. Our service providers are required to do the same. They will only process your personal data on our instructions and they are subject to a duty of confidentiality. In addition, we limit access to your personal data to those employees, agents, contractors and other third parties who have a business need to know. We also carry out regular security testing to ensure that your personal data is protected. Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. Although we will do our best to protect your Personal Information once we receive it, we cannot guarantee the security of your data transmitted to a Site; any transmission is at your own risk. Once we have received your Personal Information, we will use strict procedures and security features to try to prevent unauthorised access.
