What This Privacy Policy Covers

The processing of personal data including sensitive personal data, each as defined in the Data Protection Act 1998 (the “Act”), is therefore essential for use of the services and features offered through the Platforms (although not all classifications may not be relevant to you, depending on the services and features you choose to use, or the type of user you are).

This Privacy Policy (together with our Terms of Use) sets out the basis on which any personal data we collect from you (through the Platforms or otherwise) or from other sources, or that you provide to us, will be processed by us.  By visiting the Site, downloading and using the App and on registration, you accept and consent to the practices described in this policy.

This policy does not apply to the practices of companies that we do not own or control or of people that we do not employ or manage.  The appstore provider or operator from whom you download the App will have its own privacy policy. the Platforms may, from time to time, contain links to and from the websites of our partner networks, advertisers and affiliates. If you follow a link to any of these sites, please note that they have their own privacy policies and that We do not accept any responsibility or liability for any of these policies. Please check these policies before you submit any personal data to these organisations.

Security

We will take all steps reasonably necessary to ensure that your data is treated securely and in accordance with this privacy policy. All information we collect or you provide is stored on the secure servers of our private cloud.
