We
regard the lawful treatment of personal information as very
important in maintaining confidence between the public and
ourselves, and fully endorse and adhere to the principles of data
protection as listed in the Data Protection Act 1998.
We observe fully conditions regarding the fair collection and
use of information, and ensure that the rights of people whose
information we hold can be fully exercised, including the right to
access that information.
All staff who collect or process your information are kept up to
date with the latest data protection advice and guidance, and will
be happy to answer any questions, or address any concerns you may
have about the way we use it.
If you would like to know more about your rights under the Data
Protection Act, and what you should expect from us, then full
information is available from the Information Commissioner
website.
