3. HOW WILL YOUR PERSONAL DATA BE USED AND SHARED?
In accordance with data protection legislation, we will only process your personal data where we have a lawful basis for doing so. These bases are: (i) where it is necessary for the performance of a contract we have with you; (ii) where you have provided your consent; (iii) where it is necessary for us to comply with a legal obligation that we are subject to; or (iv) where it is in our (or a third party’s) legitimate interests and such interests are not overridden by your interests or fundamental rights and freedoms.
Specifically, we’ve set out in this Privacy Policy the purposes for which we process your personal data and the lawful basis on which we carry out such processing.

We will seek your consent for the use of any cookies in connection with this).
We may also process your personal data for additional purposes in the future, but only if such purposes are compatible with those listed above and if we believe that the same lawful basis applies.
In certain circumstances, you may be obliged to provide us with your personal data under a statutory or contractual requirement. This might include, but is not limited to, personal data we require to enter into an agreement with you (for example, information required for registration for our networking platforms); for tax and accounting purposes; and to enable us to fulfil our compliance and other obligations under relevant legislation or regulation. Failure to provide us with personal data required under a statutory or contractual requirement may prevent us from performing our obligations under a contract with you or entering into a contract with you (for example, our networking platforms will not be available to you if you do not provide the necessary information for the registration form).

We use publicly available sources to research prospective customers in order to send them marketing information about products and services relevant to them (legitimate interests, to grow our business).
If you are submitting personal data on behalf of another or are submitting personal data which may be used publicly on our products, you should only do so where you have the consent of the individual and it will be your responsibility to ensure that the individual is made aware of this Privacy Policy and our processing of their personal data.

5. SECURITY
We have implemented reasonable technical and organisational measures designed to secure your personal data from accidental loss and from unauthorised access, use, alteration or disclosure. However, the Internet is an open system and we cannot guarantee that unauthorised third parties will never be able to defeat those measures or use your personal data for improper purposes.
6. YOUR RIGHTS
Under certain circumstances, by law, you have the following rights in relation to your personal data:
a right of access to your personal data held by us;
a right to receive your personal data in machine-readable format;
a right to object to processing of your personal data where we are relying on legitimate interests (or those of a third party) for a particular purpose and you believe your circumstances mean you are unjustifiably prejudiced by this processing and where we do not have compelling legitimate interests to override such objection;
a right to ask us not to process your personal data for direct marketing purposes (including profiling for the purpose of direct marketing) and you can find out more information about how to unsubscribe or adjust your marketing.
a right to object to decisions being taken by automated means which significantly affects you;
where we have sought your consent to use your personal data for a particular purpose, a right to withdraw your consent at any time. You can do that by the methods set out in this Privacy Policy or by any other method we inform you of when seeking your consent;
a right in certain circumstances to have personal data rectified, blocked, erased or destroyed; and
a right to complain to your data protection supervisory authority.
These rights can be exercised by contacting us at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.. In order to protect you, we reserve the right to verify your identity before processing any such request.
If you are unsure about your rights you should contact your data protection supervisory authority. In the UK this will be the Information Commissioner’s Office.
If you contact us in relation to your rights we will do our best to accommodate your request or objection. Please note, however, that not all rights are absolute. For example, data protection law contains exemptions to our obligations and individuals’ rights where personal data is used for the purpose of journalism. This means that individuals featured in our online publications may not be able to exercise their rights if those rights are not compatible with journalistic activities.
