We are upfront and open about what we do, and this Privacy Policy sets out how we collect your personal data, what we do with it, who we give it to, how we keep it safe and how long we store it for. Although we sell personal data, we believe that transparency is important and we strive to do our best to protect your personal information in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

We collect personal data about you when you give it to us or explicitly consent for it to be given to us. This generally occurs when you complete an online form, in which case you have chosen to consent to the collection and subsequent sharing of your personal data for which we may be financially rewarded.
We collect and process the minimum amount of information we need to be able to pass your details to our client, so that our client is able to contact you about their services and deliver effectively to you the service you have expressed interest in, or to fulfil a service contract, or to meet a legal obligation. How much data we collect depends on the type of service you have expressed an interest in. This information can include:
We will not seek unnecessary sensitive personal data from you, such as information revealing your religious beliefs or ethnic origin.

That data collected by cookies does not usually identify you, but may be combined with other information to identify you.

We provide your personal data to our clients who may use your personal data to contact you about products or services they deliver or sell.
