This policy explains what information we gather about you, what we use that information for and who we give that information to. It also sets out your rights in relation to any information that we may hold about you.

You can browse this website without entering any personal information and will only need to provide us such information when you are making enquiries or applications or other requests in connection with the services we offer. That personal information is typically name, address, contact details and other basic information which is necessary for us to deal with your query, application or other request and is only used in connection with our business.

Any details that you give to us via this website or in any other way may be added to our database. We may, from time to time, send you mailings which you have requested or we feel may interest you and/or are relevant to your business or activity. Such mailings may include details of our products and services (including, for example our investment activities and our proof of concept programmes), newsletters, updates and invitations to our various training seminars and other events.

We may, as appropriate, use the personal information for administration, to improve our marketing and/or to provide our services or notify you of services which we think may be of interest to you. This may entail the disclosure of the personal information by us to selected third parties.

Any personal information that you provide to us is processed and held on our computer systems and we do not provide your details to third parties for any marketing or promotional purposes, except where you have given your consent. We will take all appropriate measures to protect your personal information; however, as any transfer of data over the internet is not completely secure we cannot guarantee the security of data transmitted to us over the internet.

When requested to do so, we will delete personal information from current operational systems where it is no longer required. We may need to continue to hold some details about you after your relationship with us has ended, for example for legal and regulatory reasons.

We will take all reasonable steps to keep your personal information accurate and, where necessary, up to date. If you believe that any of the information that we hold about you is incorrect, please contact us. You also have a right to request a copy of the personal information that we hold about you; if you would like a copy of that information, again, please contact us.
