3.1 Cookies
A cookie consists of information sent by a web server to a web browser, and stored by the browser. The information is then sent back to the server each time the browser requests a page from the server. This enables the web server to identify and track the web browser.
We may use both “session” cookies and “persistent” cookies on the website. We will use the session cookies to keep track of you whilst you navigate the website. We will use the persistent cookies to enable Our website to recognise you when you visit.
Session cookies will be deleted from your computer when you close your browser. Persistent cookies will remain stored on your computer until deleted, or until they reach a specified expiry date.
We use Google Analytics to analyse the use of this website. Google Analytics generates statistical and other information about website use by means of cookies, which are stored on users' computers. The information generated relating to Our website is used to create reports about the use of the website. Google will store this information. Google's privacy policy is available at: http://www.google.com/privacypolicy.html.
Most browsers allow you to reject all cookies, whilst some browsers allow you to reject just third party cookies. For example, in Internet Explorer you can refuse all cookies by clicking “Tools”, “Internet Options”, “Privacy”, and selecting “Block all cookies” using the sliding selector. Blocking all cookies will, however, have a negative impact upon the usability of many websites.
We only process your data in relation to specific purposes after giving careful consideration to ensure that your privacy rights are not impacted.
We will process your data that you provide to Us in the following ways for the purpose of fulfilling Our contractual obligations to you:
We will process your personal data where you have given your consent to Us doing so:
We will process your data for the legitimate interests of operating Our business:
5.1 We will not transfer your personal data outside the EU without your consent.
5.2 We have implemented generally accepted standards of technology and operational security in order to protect personal data from loss, misuse, or unauthorised alteration or destruction.
5.3 Please note however that where you are transmitting information to Us over the internet this can never be guaranteed to be 100% secure.
5.4 For any payments which We take from you online We will use a recognised online secure payment system.
5.5 We will notify you promptly in the event of any breach of your personal data which might expose you to serious risk.
6.1 We will not share your personal data with any third parties without your prior consent (which you are free to withhold) except where We are required to do so by law or in paragraph 6.2 below.
6.2 We may pass your personal data to third parties who are service providers, agents and subcontractors to Us for the purposes of completing tasks and providing services to you on Our behalf (e.g. to print newsletters and send you mailings). We do this for the purpose of Our legitimate interests in operating the business and for performing Our contract with you. However, We disclose only the personal data that is necessary for the third party to deliver the service and We have a contract in place that requires them to keep your information secure and not to use it for their own purposes. It is possible that third parties may themselves engage others (sub- processors) to process your data. Where this is the case third parties will be required to have contractual arrangements with their sub-processor(s) that ensure your information is kept secure and not used for their own purposes.
7.1 We will hold your personal data on Our systems for as long as We need it. We consider Our ongoing obligations to You, contractual requirements and any legal obligations. We will review your personal data regularly to establish whether We are still entitled to process it. If We decide that We are not entitled to do so, We will stop processing your personal data except that We will retain your personal data in an archived form in order to be able to comply with future legal obligations e.g. compliance with tax requirements and exemptions, and the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.
7.2 Information entered into the heat cost calculator tool on Our website will be collected by a third-party prior to being transferred to Us. The third-party will not hold this data for longer than 90 days.
7.3 We securely destroy all personal information once We have used it and no longer need it.

(a) to access your personal data
(b) to be provided with information about how your personal data is processed
(c) to have your personal data corrected
