You will not be sent any unlawful marketing or spam. We will always work to fully protect your rights and comply with our obligations under the GDPR and the Privacy and Electronic Communications (EC Directive) Regulations 2003, and you will always have the opportunity to opt-out.
  • Third Parties, whose content appears on our website or whose services support its operation may use third-party cookies,  an example of such use may occur when using the embedded Google Maps service to locate our offices.

Such third parties may themselves collect a user’s IP address, browser type, OS, geographic location, etc. As we do not control the activities of such third parties, nor the data that they collect from you and use themselves, we advise you to check the relevant privacy policies of any such third parties.

8. How Long Will We Keep Your Personal Data?

We will not keep your personal data for any longer than is necessary in light of the reason(s) for which it was first collected. Your personal data will therefore be kept for the following periods (or, where there is no fixed period, the following factors will be used to determine how long it is kept):

  • The data will be retained for as long as a representative of a business has assented to receive details of our products and services; has, at a point in time, entered into a contract to purchase our products and services; or has assented to receive news updates from Andrew Moore & Associates Ltd.
9. How and Where Do We Store or Transfer Your Personal Data?

We may store or transfer some or all of your personal data in countries that are not part of the European Economic Area (the “EEA” consists of all EU member states, plus Norway, Iceland, and Liechtenstein). These are known as “third countries” and may not have data protection laws that are as strong as those in the UK and/or the EEA. This means that we will take additional steps in order to ensure that your personal data is treated just as safely and securely as it would be within the UK and under the GDPR.

10. Do We Share Your Personal Data?

We will not share any of your personal data with any third parties for any purposes, subject to one important exception. In some circumstances, we may be legally required to share certain personal data, which might include yours, such as if we become involved in legal proceedings or complying with legal obligations, a court order, or the instructions of a government authority.

If any of your personal data is required by a third party, as described above, we will take steps to try to ensure that your personal data is handled safely, securely, and in accordance with your rights, our obligations, and the third party’s obligations under the law, as described above in Part 9.

11. How Can You Control Your Personal Data?

In addition to your rights under the GDPR, as set out in Part 5, when you submit personal data via our website, you may be given options to restrict use of your personal data. In particular, we aim to give you strong controls on our use of your data for direct marketing purposes (including the ability to opt-out of receiving emails from which you may do by unsubscribing using the links provided in our emails)

12. Can You Withhold Information?

You may access certain areas of our website without providing any personal data at all. However, to use all features and functions available on our website you may be required to submit or allow for the collection of certain data.

13. How You Can Access Your Personal Data?

If you want to know what personal data we have about you, you can ask us for details of that personal data and request a copy of it (where any such personal data is held). This is known as a “subject access request”.

All subject access requests should be made in writing and sent to the email or postal addresses shown in Part 14.

There is not normally any charge for a subject access request. If your request is ‘manifestly unfounded or excessive’ (for example, if you make repetitive requests) a fee may be charged to cover our administrative costs in responding.

We will respond to your subject access request within 28 days of receiving it. Normally, we aim to provide a complete response, including a copy of your personal data within that time. In some cases, however, particularly if your request is more complex, more time may be required up to a maximum of three months from the date we receive your request. You will be kept fully informed of our progress.
