Additionally, when you use our ‘contact us’ function we will take this as an indication that you are interested in what we do and we will add your contact details to our newsletter and marketing lists. You always have the option to unsubscribe from these if you prefer not to receive them.

    If you visit our website to browse, read or download we automatically collect and store the following information about you:

    We take reasonable steps to protect the data provided via our services both online and offline. We maintain administrative, technical and physical safeguards designed to protect the Personal Data you provide. However, no internet or email transmission is ever fully secure or error free.

    We store Personal Data only for as long as it is necessary for the fulfillment of the purpose for which the Personal Data was collected, unless otherwise required or authorised by applicable law. We take measures to destroy or permanently de-identify personal information if required by law or if the Personal Data is no longer required for the purpose for which we collected it – for example, at the conclusion of our engagement.
