2. THE DATA WE COLLECT ABOUT YOU

Nor do we collect any information about criminal convictions and offences.

IF YOU FAIL TO PROVIDE PERSONAL DATA

Where we need to collect personal data by law, or under the terms of a contract we have with you, and you fail to provide that data when requested, we may not be able to perform the contract we have or are trying to enter into with you (for example, to provide you with our services). We will notify you if this is the case at the time.

We collect your personal data from you directly when you correspond with us by post, phone, email or otherwise. We do not source your personal data from any third parties or automated technologies or interactions.
