The
Act allows you to find out what information we hold about you in return
for a small fee. This is known as a subject access request. Before sending
you any personal data, we will ask you to provide proof of your identity.
If you are not able to provide proof of your identity, we reserve the
right to refuse to send you personal data. You can obtain further information
about data protection laws by visiting the Information Commissioner’s
website at www.dataprotection.gov.uk

wish to do so.
We may on
occasions wish to use personal information supplied by you when you
registered with us, contacted us, requested brochures or provided personal
information from other services accessed from us, to inform you of new
services, products and promotions which we think maybe of interest to
you. If you do not wish to receive any further information from us you
may inform us of this by email or by letter.
In addition,
we may pass your details to carefully selected third parties only with
regard to your enquiry and the service we provide. Before we pass details
onto another firm, we let you know the name of the firm and obtain your
permission to send your personal information to them.
