How We Use Your Personal Information
If you provide us with personal information (your name, organisation name, postal address, telephone, fax, or email address), or have done so in the past, we will use that information to send you the type of information that you have requested. This may also include updates on relevant services, or simply to contact you so that we may learn more about your requirements and how we may be able to help. Or, if you are involved in a research project, to liaise with you over the timings, arrangements and incentives for the research.
We may also consult freely available information from publicly-available sources, such as the internet, Linked In, Twitter or directories, to identify companies and job roles that may have a legitimate interest in our services or our research programmes. We would always abide by relevant codes of conduct or data protection rules when contacting you.
You can still choose to “opt out” of any communications at that point even where you have previously provided consent . You can do this either verbally, by emailing or writing to us at the address below, or if it is an enewsletter, please click the ‘unsubscribe’ link at the foot of the email in question.
We occasionally work with identified third parties as part of our research programmes. However, we do not share personal information with any third parties for any purpose other than those covered by this Privacy Notice, unless this has been agreed with contacts in advance for a specific purpose.
Controlling your personal information
We take your privacy very seriously and adhere to any data protection policies. We strongly believe in both reducing the amount of data we collect and limiting the use and purpose of that data to only that required for legitimate business purposes and to deliver the services you expressed an interest in. We may also be required to keep records for legal compliance or other lawful purposes.
If you have previously agreed to us holding or using your personal information for direct marketing purposes, you may change your mind at any time by writing to us, or emailing us at the address below. Or if this is an enewsletter, please click the ‘unsubscribe’ link at the foot of the email in question.
