Privacy Policy

Brit will not collect any information about individuals, except where it is specifically and knowingly provided by them. However, we may collect and process data relating to details of your visits to our site and the resources that you access. We may also collect information about your computer, including where available, your IP address, operating system and browser type. This is statistical data about our users' browsing actions and patterns and does not identify any individual.

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. Once we have received your information we will use strict procedures and security features to try to prevent unauthorised access.

The details which you provide about yourself and any other information which identifies you ("Personal Information") will be used to send you the information you have requested.

Brit respects your privacy and will not sell, rent or loan any Personal Information collected on this website and will only use your Personal Information in ways to which you have consented. Any information that you give Brit will be treated with the utmost care and security and will remain completely confidential. In order to process various requests by you, your Personal Information may be passed to a relevant third party and, where we are lawfully requested to do so, regulatory authorities. Such third parties will have access to the Personal Information needed to perform the relevant service. They may not, however, use your Personal Information for any other purposes and are required to process your Personal Information in accordance with the Data Protection Act 1998.

You agree that any successor operator of Brit's business may use your Personal Information on the same basis as Brit does.

We will not disclose your Personal Information to third parties (except as outlined above) or in the unlikely event that we are required to do so by court order or other legal requirement. Please note that we may transfer your Personal Information to persons outside the EEA, but we will only do so in accordance with applicable data protection legislation.

This website does not currently use cookies (cookies are pieces of information that are transferred to and stored on your computer. The use of cookies is common in the computer industry). If we start to use cookies in the future then the fact that we have started to do so and how we use such cookies will be posted here.

In addition to Brit’s safeguards, your Personal Information is protected in the UK by the Data Protection Act. This provides amongst other things that the Personal Information Brit holds about you should be processed lawfully and fairly. It should be accurate, relevant and not excessive. The information should be kept up to date, where necessary, and not retained for longer than is necessary. It should be kept securely to prevent unauthorised access by other people. You have the right to see what is held about you (on the payment of an administrative fee) and correct any inaccuracies by contacting us.
