How do we use your personal data?

We use your personal data to provide services (such as support) to you or your organisation, to let you know about other services in which you may be interested, and to inform you about changes and improvements to our website; to allow you to use our support system, advertising, marketing & public relations, accounts & records, consultancy and advisory services, staff appraisal and potentially for crime prevention and prosecution of offenders.

When you give us personal data, those data may be sent electronically to servers anywhere in the world and may be used, stored and processed anywhere in the world, including countries outside the European Economic Area.
