This statement applies to any personal information you provide via our website, by submitting web mails and/or completing online forms, which we subsequently retain.
Frazer-Nash Consultancy believes it is important to protect your privacy, and so we are committed to providing a service that meets your needs in a way that also protects that privacy. This statement explains some of the security measures we take to protect your privacy, and tells you certain things we will not do. We will handle all personal data in compliance with the Data Protection Act 1998.
Please note that some of the personal information we hold about you may be ‘sensitive personal data’ within the meaning of the Data Protection Act 1998 – for example, information about your health or ethnic origin.
1. Using information
1.1 Information you provide or we hold about you (whether or not under our contract (or contracts) with you) may be used by us or our agents (or both) to:
a. identify you when you contact us;
b. help identify services you may be interested in purchasing from us;
c. assist us with recruitment;
d. help run, and contact you about improved running of, any services we have provided before, or provide now or in the future;
e. help to prevent and detect fraud or loss; and
f. contact you in any way (including mail, email, phone, visit) about services offered by us and selected partners.
1.2 We may allow other people and organisations to use information we hold about you:
a. if we have been asked to provide information for legal or regulatory purposes; or
b. as part of current or future legal proceedings.
From time to time, these other people and organisations may be outside the European Economic Area in countries that do not have the same standards of protection for personal data as the UK.
1.3 We may also allow your information to be used by other companies which form part of the group of companies Babcock International Group Plc.
1.4 When you send us your C.V and/or an application form you are explicitly agreeing to allow Frazer-Nash Consultancy to use the information it contains for recruitment purposes in compliance with the Data Protection Act 1998.
1.5 Where you give us information on behalf of someone else, you confirm that you have provided them with the information set out in this document, and that they have not objected to the uses of their personal information described in it. If you give us sensitive data about yourself or others (such as health details or details of any criminal convictions of members of your household and/or family), you agree (and confirm that the relevant subject of the information has agreed) to us processing such information in the manner set out in this document.
2. Protecting information
2.1 We have security measures to protect personal information. This includes holding the information in a secure way in accordance with the Data Protection Act 1998.
2.2 As a registered data controller, we are required to take appropriate technical measures to protect your personal information including making a regular backup of our system and data. We have security measures in place to make sure any personal information we collect is secure. All parties with access to your information are subject to confidentiality obligations. We will only keep personal information for as long as is necessary to fulfil the purposes we collected it for and as required by law.
3. The Internet
3.1 If you communicate with us via our website, we may occasionally e-mail you about our services and products. However, you can always send an e-mail to customercontact@fnc.co.uk if you would like us to stop sending you emails.
3.2 Please remember that communications over the Internet, such as e-mails and web mails (messages sent through a website), are not secure unless they have been encrypted. Your communications may go through a number of countries before they are delivered – this is the nature of the Internet. We cannot accept responsibility for any unauthorised access or loss of personal information that is beyond our control.
3.3 We may use 'cookies' to monitor how people use our site. This helps us to understand how our customers and potential customers use our website so we can develop and improve the design, layout and function of the sites. A cookie is a piece of information that is stored on your computer's hard drive which records how you have used a website. This means that when you go back to that website, it can give you tailored options based on the information it has stored about your last visit. You can normally alter the settings of your browser to prevent it from accepting cookies.
3.4 If you do not want us to use cookies in your browser, you can set your browser to reject cookies or to tell you when a website tries to put a cookie on your computer. However, you may not be able to use some of the products or services on our website without cookies.
