As a visitor to our website we will not share your personal information with any other third parties, unless you give us your consent to do so or we are authorised to do so by law. Your personal information will not be used for any marketing or sales purposes.

If you provide personal information and we use your information, we make sure that such use complies with the law and the law allows us to use personal data for a variety of reasons. These include:
