We also reserve the right to disclose Personal Data or other information that we believe, in good faith, is appropriate or necessary to (i) take precautions against liability, (ii) protect ourselves or others from fraudulent, abusive, or unlawful uses or activity, (iii) investigate and defend ourselves against any third-party claims or allegations, (iv) protect the security or integrity of the Service and any facilities or equipment used to make the Service available, or (v) protect our property or other legal rights, enforce our contracts, or protect the rights, property, or safety of others.
We are legally required to disclose whether other third parties may collect personally identifiable information about an individual’s online activities from our Site or Service.
The information gathered by these third parties is used to make predictions about your interests or preferences so that they can display advertisements or promotional material on this Site and on other sites across the Internet tailored to your apparent interests.
The business partners and advertising networks that serve interest-based advertisements on the Services have limited access to a small amount of information about your profile and your device, which is necessary to serve you advertisements that are tailored to your apparent interests. It is possible that they may reuse this small amount of information on other sites or services.
We do not share with these third parties any information that would readily identify you (such as email address); however, these third parties may have access to information about your device (such as IP or MAC address). We do not have access to, or control over, the technologies that these third parties may use to collect information about your interests, and the information practices of these third parties are not covered by this Privacy Policy. Other than as discussed in this document, we have no control over these third parties.
We will hold client personal information for a period of at least six years after we have completed the work that we do for you. By law, we have to keep basic information about our clients for six years after they cease being clients for tax purposes.
For contacts and users of our website, we will hold your contact details only for so long as we reasonably consider that the information we might provide to you is relevant to and of interest to you and we will delete your contact details if you ask us not to continue to send such information to you or at any time if we have reason to think that the information is out of date and in any case no longer than for six years after you last contacted us.
We use and process your personal data in a number of different ways as follows:
You will receive marketing communications from us from time to time if you have requested information from us in the past or purchased products or services from us, and, if you provided us with your details when you entered a competition or registered for a promotion or free resources.

We do not believe that there are likely to be any serious consequences to you of our use of your personal information. The potential consequences that we have identified are:
We will not share any Personal Data with third-parties for their direct marketing purposes to the extent prohibited by law. If our practices change, we will do so in accordance with applicable laws and will notify you in advance.
