This helps us to provide you with a good experience when you browse our website and also allows us to improve our site.

As an organisation we try to be as open as we can in terms of giving people access to their personal information. Individuals can find out if we hold any personal information by making a ‘subject access request’ under the data protection legislation. Where we hold information about you we will:

• Give you a description of it; • Tell you why we are holding it; • Tell you who it could be disclosed to; and • Let you have a copy of the information in an intelligible form.

We will only share personal information for stated reasons in this Privacy Notice or in line with the data protection laws. The following information is available via our Data Protection Team:

• agreements we have with other organisations for sharing information; • circumstances where we can pass on personal data without consent for example, to prevent and detect crime and to produce anonymised statistics; • our instructions to staff on how to collect, use and delete personal data; • how we check that the information we hold is accurate and up to date.

We have put in place appropriate security measures to prevent your personal information from being accidentally lost, used or accessed in an unauthorised way, altered or disclosed. In addition, we limit access to your personal information to those employees, agents, contractors and other third parties who have a business need-to know. They will only process your personal information on our instructions and they are subject to a duty of confidentiality. We have put in place procedures to deal with any suspected data security breach and will notify you and any applicable regulator of a suspected breach where we are legally required to do so.

All information you provide to us is stored on secure servers. We will never disclose your information to anyone outside of the DDC Engineering Solutions Ltd. except where we have your consent; where we are required or permitted to do so by law; to other companies who provide a service to us; or to any successors in title to our business. Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. Although we will do our best to protect your personal data, we cannot guarantee the security of your data transmitted to our site; any transmission is at your own risk. The website may contain links to other sites which are outside our control and not covered by this policy. The operators of these sites may collect information from you that will be used by them in accordance with their policy, which may differ from ours.

This policy replaces all previous versions. We reserve the right to change the policy at any time. Any changes to this policy will be posted here.
