Introduction

This privacy notice aims to inform you about how we collect and process any information that we collect from you, or that you provide to us. It covers information that could identify you, ie ‘personal information’. In the context of the law and this notice, ‘process’ means collect, store, transfer, use or otherwise act on information. It tells you about your privacy rights and how the law protects you.

We are committed to protecting your privacy and the confidentiality of your personal information. Our policy is not just an exercise in complying with the law, but a continuation of our respect for you and your personal information.

We undertake to preserve the confidentiality of all information you provide to us. We do not share, sell, or disclose to a third party, any information collected through our website. We will not collect information unless it is used to deliver a better service or to give you relevant information.

Our policy complies with the Data Protection Act 2018 (Act) incorporating the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). In accordance with this legislation, we follow strict security procedures in the storage and disclosure of information that you have given us, to prevent unauthorised access.

The law requires us to tell you about your rights and our obligations to you in regard to the processing and control of your personal data. We do this now, by requesting that you read the information provided at http://www.knowyourprivacyrights.org

Data we Collect

We may collect, use or store different kinds of personal data, which you have supplied either by telephone, email or through our website. We have collated these into groups as follows:-

  • - Data about your identity including information such as first name, last name, title, and other identifiers.

  • - We may aggregate anonymous data such as statistical or demographic data for any purpose. Anonymous data is data that does not identify you as an individual. Aggregated data may be derived from your personal data but is not considered personal information in law because it does not reveal your identity.
  • - However, if we combine or connect aggregated data with your personal information so that it can identify you in any way, we treat the combined data as personal information and it will be used in accordance with this privacy notice.

We use information held about you in the following ways:-

  • - To carry out our obligations arising from any contracts entered into between you and us.
  • - To notify you about changes to our service.

Occasionally we may incorporate cookie-generated data together with other data we hold to communicate with you in the most appropriate way. We may also compile and provide aggregate statistics about our site users, information requests, traffic patterns and any other related site information, but will never identify you as an individual.

Information about you will be kept secure and it will not be supplied to anyone else, unless we are obliged or permitted by law to disclose it. A Adamson & Co do not sell, rent or trade any personal information supplied by you to any third party.
