Privacy Policy

Charter Land is committed to safeguarding the privacy of visitors to this Website and at the same time endeavours to use any data we collect from you to provide the best possible service.

Charter Land takes the security and privacy of those of its clients and contacts about whom it holds personal information extremely seriously. Helpsme follows strict security procedures in the storage and disclosure of personal information in order to prevent unauthorised access. Personal Data is held on our contacts and administration database either because of work we have undertaken or are currently engaged in, or because we believe that clients may be interested in receiving material from us about our business and services. As such we hold client contact details and the history of our client relationship. This allows us to manage our client relationships effectively and target items of interest so that you do not receive unwanted material through the post. In accordance with your rights under the Data Protection Act 1988, you may request the amendment of the personal information held or to cease receiving direct marketing materials. Helpsme does not sell, rent or deal in the personal information we hold with third parties.
When you volunteer your personal data when you request to go onto our mailing list or sign up for one of our courses, in order to respond to your request we need to know your name, address and contact telephone number, and for the purposes of updating you by e-mail on information concerning our services and training courses, your e-mail address. To keep our databases accurate, we may also collect information about you from other sources, such as public records or bodies, or private organisations. We may use your personal data for research and development, customer administration and marketing. If you give us personal information about somebody else, such as a colleague, we will assume you have their permission to do so, and their data will also be subject to this policy. We have implemented security policies to protect the personal data that we have under our control from unauthorised access or modification, improper use or disclosure, and unlawful destruction or accidental loss. We totally respect the confidentiality of your personal data. We ensure that your personal data will not be disclosed to state institutions and authorities except if required by law or other regulation. You are entitled by law to request a copy of any personal data we hold about you. If you would like to know whether we hold personal information about you, or to request a copy, you can ask us by emailing hello@charterland.com. We will provide you with a copy of the personal data that we keep about you within 10 working days. To enable us to release any data, we may require proof of your identity. We will provide the information without any charge. By submitting your information you consent to the use of that information as set out in this Policy. If we change our Privacy Policy we will post the changes on this page, and may place notices on other pages of the website, so that you may be aware of the information we collect and how we use it at all times.
