We will make it clear when we collect personal information and will explain what we intend to do with it.

This website is hosted by Fasthosts within their own UK based data centres. Located in Gloucester, Fasthosts two state-of-the-art data centres house thousands of web and mail servers, operating at full potential and maintained 24/7 by a team of expert engineers.
Fasthosts data centres have been accredited with the ISO 27001 certificate – an international standard given to data centres that reach the top-level of security, safety and compliance. The data centres provide maximum security, with access strictly limited to cleared personnel and monitored by extensive CCTV and access control systems. The data centres are protected by highly experienced security guards on duty 24/7, 365 days a year and there is a role-based access control swipe-card system across multiple secure areas to ensure absolutely no access by unauthorised personnel. The data centres are climate controlled environments with an uninterruptable power supply to all servers. In the case of a power outage, the power supply is switched instantly (with absolutely no interruption) to a diesel generator capable of powering the data centres for 30 days.
All website traffic (transferral of data) between you and this website is secured via SSL Certificate (Secure Socket Layer). An SSL certificate is a communications protocol that provides a layer of confidentiality and security so the data transmitted over the internet between your computer and the destination server is secure. It is indicated by the lock icon and the “https” prefix in the web browser address bar.

Client information we hold
We have to hold the details of the people who contract us to work for them in providing our services. We only use contact information to provide our services as agreed by our clients and for other closely related purposes. For example, we might use information about people who we have worked with to offer additional services or to carry out a survey to find out if they are happy with the level of service they received. In addition to client information, we collect contact information for individuals who have asked us to send details of the services we provide or who may be interested in our services as they are involved in similar projects. When people receive information, they can choose to unsubscribe from our database at any time and are given an easy way of doing this.
Complaints or queries
Glenmhor tries to meet the highest standards when collecting and using personal information. For this reason, we take any complaints we receive about this very seriously. We encourage people to bring it to our attention if they think that our collection or use of information is unfair, misleading or inappropriate. We would also welcome any suggestions for improving our procedures.
This privacy notice was drafted with brevity and clarity in mind. It does not provide exhaustive detail of all aspects of Glenmhor’s collection and use of personal information. However, we are happy to provide any additional information or explanation needed. Any requests for this should be sent to the address below.
Access to personal information
Glenmhor will try to be as open as it can be 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 Act 1998. If we do 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.
To make a request to Glenmhor for any personal information we may hold you need to put the request in writing addressing it to our Managing Director at the address provided below.
If you agree, we will try to deal with your request informally, for example by providing you with the specific information you need over the telephone. If we do hold information about you, you can ask us to correct any mistakes by contacting us in writing.
Disclosure of personal information
We do not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer to outside parties your personal information. Where we are required to share personal data with third parties who assist us in delivering our services, we will seek your consent and seek to ensure that those parties keep the information confidential.
