Your personal data will be treated as strictly confidential.

HOW LONG DO WE KEEP YOUR DATA

Most records are normally kept for 7 years, after which they will be archived, or destroyed, however, in some circumstances it may be necessary to retain records for longer than this.

DISCLOSURE

There are occasions when we may need to make disclosure to a third party. We may disclose information about you to any of our employees, officers, agents, suppliers or subcontractors insofar as is reasonably necessary for the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy.

Juliet Grayson and her team will take reasonable technical and organisational precautions to prevent the loss, misuse or alteration of your personal information.

We will store all the personal information you provide on our secure (password- and firewall- protected) servers.  All electronic transactions containing personal details that you make to or receive from us will be encrypted using SSL technology.

It must however be noted that data transmission over the internet is potentially insecure, and we cannot guarantee the security of data sent over the internet.

You are responsible for keeping your password and user details confidential and not sharing these. We will never personally ask you for your password.

We will respond to your request within a month, unless the request is particularly complex or a whole series of requests have been made, when it may take longer to provide all of the information.
