Privacy Policy

CATEGORIES OF PERSONAL DATA WE COLLECT

We collect contact information directly from you when you complete a form on our website. This information is purely to enable us to contact you in response to a request for information that you have made.

For research projects and surveys, we collect contact information (email, telephone) for people from whom we need to obtain feedback/opinions related to a specific project. Any responses we then receive to such surveys are recorded/stored anonymously, with no link to the original contact details provided. The data collected is then analysed, anonymously, and provided to the client who engaged us to undertake the research project.

We will only share your information if you give express permission.

All contact data is deleted on completion of the project.
