This Privacy Information explains how we use your personal data: how it is collected, how it is held, and how it is processed. It also explains your rights under the law relating to your personal data.
Personal data is defined by the General Data Protection Regulation (Regulation (EU) 2016/679) as ‘any information relating to a person who can be directly or indirectly identified in particular by reference to an identifier’.
Personal data is, in simpler terms, any information about you that enables you to be identified. Personal data covers obvious information such as your name and contact details, but it also covers less obvious information such as identification numbers, electronic location data, and other online identifiers.
We recognise that you have rights as a ‘data subject’ and that we have an obligation to uphold these. This privacy notice aims to outline how we maintain these rights. In particular it outlines:
- How we collect and process your information
- Why we do this
- How you can exercise your rights;
- Who to contact in the event you’re unhappy with our performance.
Your information rights
This privacy notice should outline how we are transparent in our processing. Please get in touch with us through the ‘contact details’ section to find out more or to exercise your information rights.
The personal data we collect from individuals using our Services mostly consists of User data such as name, business function, business address, telephone number, email and other personal data that Users provide to us. This is mostly information in relation to an individual’s role at his/her company that does not concern him/her as a private person or as an individual customer. These companies that individuals are working for, mostly are our prospects, customers, suppliers or partners. The specific kind of User data collected will depend on the Services used.
We may collect technical data in relation to Users such as IP address, geographic location, browser type and version, preferred language, operating system and computer platform, the full URL clickstream to, through and from, including date and time, Services that Users viewed or searched for whilst using our websites, websites accessed immediately before and after visiting our websites, and parts of our websites that Users have visited.

We receive and store certain types of information whenever you interact with our website. For example, like many web sites, we sometimes use ‘cookies’, and we obtain certain types of information when your web browser accesses our website.
