What is personal data?
Personal data is information that relates to an identified or identifiable individual. This could be information that identifies an individual on its own, such as a name or identifying photograph, or it could be the information used in combination with other information to identify someone, such as date of birth or nationality.
What information do we collect about you?

Where we use third parties to provide services on our behalf (acting as data processors), a written contract will be put in place to ensure that your information will be held in accordance with the requirements of data protection legislation.
We will only use your personal data for the purposes for which we collected it unless we reasonably consider that we need to use it for another reason, and that reason is compatible with the original purpose. If we need to use your personal data for a purpose unrelated to the purpose for which we collected the data, we will notify you, and we will explain the legal ground of processing.
