Purpose of this Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy aims to give you information on how SRM collects and processes your Personal Data through your use of this Website, including any data you may provide through this Website when you contact us. It is also intended to inform you about the choices you have regarding our use of, and your ability to correct, that Personal Data.
Information we collect about you
We may collect, use, store and transfer different kinds of Personal Data about you, which may include:
- Identity Data: your name, title, date of birth and gender.

We may also collect, use and share aggregated data ("Aggregated Data") such as statistical or demographic data for any purpose. Aggregated Data may be derived from your Personal Data but is not legally considered to be Personal Data as such data does not directly or indirectly reveal your identity.
We do not collect any special categories of Personal Data about you (this includes details about your race or ethnicity, religious or philosophical beliefs, sex life, sexual orientation, political opinions, trade union membership, information about your health, genetic and biometric data, and criminal convictions or offences).
Your duty to inform us of changes
It is important that the Personal Data we hold about you is accurate and current. Please keep us informed of any changes to your Personal Data during your relationship with us.
If you fail to provide us with 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 such contract we have or are trying to enter into with you. In this case, we may cancel a product or service you have with us and notify you of such cancellation.
How your Personal Data is collected
We use different methods to collect data from you and about you including through:
Direct interactions. You may give us your Identity Data, Contact Data and Financial Data by completing forms on our Website, or by corresponding with us by email, phone or post. This includes Personal Data you provide when you interact with our Website, correspond with us, request marketing communications, or engage with us on social media.
Automated technologies. As you interact with our Website, we may automatically collect Technical Data about your equipment, browsing actions and patterns. We collect this Personal Data by using cookies and similar technologies. You may refuse the use of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings in your browser. However, if you do this, you may lose some useful functionality.
Third parties. We may receive Personal Data about you from analytics providers (Aggregated Data, Technical Data and Usage Data) and service providers (Identity Data, Contact Data and Payment Data).
How we use your Personal Data
We will only use your Personal Data when we have a lawful basis for doing so:
a. Performance of a contract. We may process your Personal Data to perform a contract you have entered into with us.
b. Legitimate interests. We may process your Personal Data for ongoing business purposes, for example to understand our supporters, evaluate and improve our Website, respond appropriately to queries, prevent fraud, protect our interests, and ensure complaints are investigated.
c. Compliance with a legal obligation. We may process your Personal Data to comply with various legal obligations, including ensuring that you do not receive marketing communications from us in circumstances where you have advised us that you do not wish to receive those communications.
Marketing
We aim to provide you with choices regarding certain Personal Data uses, particularly around marketing and advertising. You will receive marketing communications from us if you have requested information from us or if you have provided us with your Personal Data to receive marketing promotions and have not opted out.
Third-party marketing. We will request your express opt-in consent before we share your Personal Data with a third party for marketing purposes.
Opting out. You may request that we or third parties stop sending you marketing messages at any time by contacting us or by following the opt-out links on any marketing messages.
Change of purpose
We will only use your Personal Data for the purposes for which we collected it, unless we reasonably consider that we need to use it for another reason, which is compatible with the original purpose. If we need to use your Personal Data for an unrelated purpose, we will notify you and explain the legal basis that allows us to do so.
Disclosures of Personal Data
As part of fulfilling our contractual obligations, we may have to share your Personal Data with third-party processors, including service providers acting as processors and professional advisers such as lawyers, auditors and insurers. In addition, we may share Personal Data with third parties to whom we choose to sell, transfer, or merge parts of our business or our assets.
We require all third parties to respect the security of your Personal Data and to treat it in accordance with the law. We do not allow our third-party service providers to use your Personal Data for their own purposes and only permit them to process your Personal Data for specified purposes and in accordance with our instructions.
Transfer of Personal Data outside the EEA
We share your Personal Data across SRM's business, which could involve transferring your data outside the European Economic Area ("EEA") to associated companies in the US. Whenever we transfer your Personal Data outside of the EEA, we ensure appropriate actions will be taken to ensure that a similar degree of protection is afforded to your Personal Data, in line with Article 46 of the General Data Protection Regulation.
Data Security
We have put in place commercially reasonable security measures to protect your Personal Data from loss, misuse, unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. We limit access to your Personal Data to those employees, agents, contractors and other third parties who have a business need to know.
Unfortunately, the transmission of Personal Data 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 Website; any transmission is at your own risk. We have put in place procedures to deal with any suspected Personal Data breaches and will notify you and any applicable regulator of a breach where we are legally required to do so.
Data Retention
We will only retain your Personal Data for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes we collected it for, including to satisfy any legal, accounting or reporting requirements.
