Why do we collect personal information?

Measures are taken to safeguard against un-authorised or unlawful processing and accidental loss or destruction or damage to the data.

However, if you believe the information we hold about you is factually incorrect, you can ask us to amend it. In certain circumstances, you can ask us to stop using your personal information – for example if you think the personal information we hold may be inaccurate or you think we no longer need to process it.
