Data Protection
We will comply with the provisions
of all relevant Data Protection legislation, including the Data Protection
Act 1998, which puts obligations on users of personal information and
lays down principles for its use. One principle states that information
has to be processed fairly and lawfully. This means that you are entitled
to know how we intend to use any information you provide. You can then
decide whether you want to give it to us.
If you choose to complete one of our
online forms, the personal information you provide will be used solely
by Kellands (Central UK) Limited or its Partners to enable us to answer
your queries.
Occasionally, we may contact you by
letter, telephone, e-mail or otherwise to inform you about other products
and services which may interest you. If you do not wish to receive this
information please contact us at the address below or e-mail us at central@kelland.co.uk
You have a right to request a copy
of the personal data we hold about you. If you require a copy please
write to the Data Controller, Kellands (Central UK) Limited, Quays Office
Park, Conference Avenue, Portishead, Bristol, BS20 7LZ. We reserve
the right to charge the maximum fee payable in terms of the Data Protection
Act 1998. If you believe that the information we hold about you is inaccurate
you may write to us and ask us to correct it.
Owing to the global nature of the internet infrastructure, the information you provide may be transferred in transit to countries outside the European Economic Area that do not have similar protections in place regarding your data and its use as set out in this policy. However, we have taken all reasonable steps to maintain the security of your personal information. By submitting your information you consent to these transfers.
