This explains our policy in respect of:
Data Protection
We will comply with the provisions of all relevant Data Protection legislation, including the Data Protection Act 1998, which puts obligations on users of personal information and lays down principles for its use. One principle states that information has to be processed fairly and lawfully. This means that you are entitled to know how we intend to use any information you provide. You can then decide whether you want to give it to us.
If you choose to complete one of our online forms, the personal information you provide will be used solely by AWD to enable us to answer your queries. Occasionally, we may contact you by letter, telephone, e-mail or otherwise to inform you about other products and services which may interest you. If you do not wish to receive this information please contact us at the address below or e-mail us at enquiries@awdcdv.com.
You have a right to request a copy of the personal data we hold about you. If you require a copy please write to the Data Controller, AWD Chase de Vere, PO Box 148, Manchester M32 0WS. We reserve the right to charge the maximum fee payable in terms of the Data Protection Act 1998. If you believe that the information we hold about you is inaccurate you may write to us and ask us to correct it.
Owing to the global nature of the internet infrastructure, the information you provide may be transferred in transit to countries outside the European Economic Area that do not have similar protections in place regarding your data and its use as set out in this policy. However, we have taken all reasonable steps to maintain the security of your personal information. By submitting your information you consent to these transfers.
E-mail / Telephone Calls
Please note that there is no guarantee that any e-mail sent will be received, or that the contents of any such e-mail will remain private during internet transmission. If you have any such concerns, you may prefer to use the telephone or postal system instead.
