We are committed to the safe and secure processing of personal data and compliance with applicable data protection laws, including the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). We have implemented appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect your personal data against loss or unlawful access. Only individuals associated with us who need to process your personal data in accordance with the purposes described below will have access to your personal data.

The data we collect about you

Personal data means any information directly or indirectly relating to an identifiable individual. We may collect, use, store and transfer different kinds of personal data about you as follows:

• Identity Data — includes first name, last name, and username or similar identifier.

We do not collect any Special Categories of Personal Data about you (this includes details about your race or ethnicity, religious or philosophical beliefs, sex life, sexual orientation, political opinions, trade union membership, information about your health, and genetic data). Nor do we collect any information about criminal convictions and offences.

The legal bases upon which we may rely include:

• Consent — where you have given us clear and explicit consent to process your personal data for a specific purpose.
