Information we collect and how we use it
When you access or sign up to any of the Firm’s services including newsletters, bulletins, competitions, webinars etc., we may collect and process personal information such as your name, address, telephone number, email address, IP address and other information relating to you.

Links with other websites
This Privacy Policy only relates to the Website. Any links from the Website to other websites are provided merely for your convenience and do not imply endorsement by us of the content or provider or the way that your personal data is managed.
Transferring your personal data out of the UK and EEA
To deliver services to you, it is sometimes necessary for us to share your personal data outside the UK/EEA — for example with your and our service providers located outside the UK/EEA; if you are based outside the UK/EEA; or where there is a European and/or international dimension to the services we are providing to you.
Under data protection law, we can only transfer your personal data to a country or international organisation outside the UK/EEA where there is an adequacy decision; where appropriate safeguards are in place together with enforceable rights and effective legal remedies for data subjects; or where a specific exception applies under data protection law (such as explicit consent, performance of a contract, or establishing, exercising or defending legal claims).
Security
The Firm has policies and technical measures in place to safeguard and protect your personal information against unauthorised access, accidental loss, improper use and disclosure. However, the internet is not completely secure and though we will do our best to protect your personal information the transmission of your data to us is done so at your own risk.
