Privacy Policy

​

The Storey Group ("we," "us," or "our") is committed to protecting the privacy of all visitors, users, and others who access our website ("you," or "users"). This Privacy Policy describes how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you visit our website and use our services. We strive to fully comply with the principles of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). By using our website and services, you consent to our collection and use of your personal information as outlined in this Privacy Policy.

Information We Collect

We collect various types of information in the course of providing our services. This may include personal data such as your name, email address, postal address, and other information that you voluntarily provide to us. We may also collect non-personal data, which is data about usage and service operation that is not associated with a specific personal identity. This can include IP addresses, browser types, and other anonymous statistical data involving the use of our website. We use these data to improve our services, analyze trends, and administer the site.

How We Use Your Information

We primarily use the information we collect to provide, maintain, protect, and improve our current services, to develop new services, and protect both our users and ourselves. This includes data used to communicate with you, such as for customer service, to inform you about changes to our services, and to provide information about special promotions or upcoming events. We take all reasonable measures to ensure that your data is treated securely and in accordance with this privacy policy.

Information Sharing and Disclosure

We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information to others. We may disclose your personal information to any member of our group, which means our subsidiaries, our ultimate holding company, and its subsidiaries, as defined in section 1159 of the UK Companies Act 2006. We may disclose your personal information to third parties if we are under a duty to disclose or share your personal data in order to comply with any legal obligation, to enforce or apply our terms of use and other agreements; or to protect the rights, property, or safety of The Storey Group, our customers, or others.

Data Security

We take the security of your data seriously. We have implemented various strategies, controls, policies, and measures to keep your data secure and keep these measures under close review. We protect your data by using encryption techniques and we use other safeguards such as firewalls and password protection. This means that your data is protected and only accessible to co-workers who need it to carry out their job responsibilities. We also ensure that there are strict physical controls in our buildings that restrict access to your personal data to keep it safe.

Data Retention

We only retain your personal data for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements. To determine the appropriate retention period for personal data, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure of your personal data, the purposes for which we process your personal data, and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal requirements.

Your Rights

Under the General Data Protection Regulation, you have several rights regarding your personal data. You have the right to access the personal data we hold about you, and to receive a copy of the personal data. You also have the right to have any incorrect personal data about you corrected and to object to the processing of your personal data. You have the right to ask us to delete your personal data or restrict how it is used, subject to certain exceptions. We are committed to honoring these rights.
