How we keep your information safe

We understand the importance of security of your personal information and take appropriate steps to safeguard it.

We use best practice technology and processes to protect personal data. Access is on a need to know basis.

We always ensure only authorised persons have access to your information, which means only our staff and contractors, and that everyone who has access is appropriately trained to manage your information.

No data transmission over the internet can however be guaranteed to be 100% secure. So while we strive to safeguard your information, we cannot guarantee the security of any information you provide online and you do this at your own risk.

Who has access to your information?

• Third parties who provide services for us. We select our third-party service providers with care. We provide these third parties with the information that is necessary to provide the service and we will have an agreement in place that requires them to operate with the same care over data protection as we do.
• Analytics and search engine providers that help us to improve our website and its use.
• Third parties in connection with restructuring or reorganisation of our operations, for example if we merge with another company. In such event we will take steps to ensure your privacy rights will be protected by the third party.

 

Owing to matters such as financial or technical considerations the information you provide to us may be transferred to countries outside the European Economic Area (EEA), which are not subject to the same data protection regulations as apply in the UK. We may do this with non UK clients. We meet our obligations under GDPR by ensuring that the information has equivalent protection as if it were being held within the EEA. We do this by ensuring that any third parties processing your data outside the EEA either benefits from an adequacy determination for GDPR purposes and/or, where appropriate, we have entered into a Data Processing Agreement which contains model EU clauses.

We may also disclose your personal information if we are required to do so under any legal obligation and may use external data for the purposes of fraud prevention and credit risk reduction, or where doing so would not infringe your rights, but is necessary and in the public interest.

Other than this, we will not share your information with other organisations without your consent.

 

Keeping your information up to date

We really appreciate it if you let us know if your contact details change. You can do so by contacting us at info@alongcamemary.co.uk.

 

Our use of “cookies”

We use cookies to enhance your experience with ACM. “Cookies” are small pieces of information sent by a web server to a web browser, which enable the server to collect information from the browser. They are stored on your hard drive to allow our website to recognise you when you visit. By using our website you agree to our use of cookies.

 

How long we keep your information for

We will hold your personal information for as long as it is necessary for the relevant activity. By way of example, we hold records of payments you make for seven years so we can fulfil our statutory obligations for tax purposes.

Where we rely on your consent to contact you for direct marketing purposes, we will treat your consent as lasting only for as long as it is reasonable to do so. This will usually be for two years. We may periodically ask you to renew your consent.

If you ask us to stop contacting you with marketing or materials, we will keep a record of your contact details and limited information needed to ensure we comply with your request.
