Cookies

You can set your browser to refuse all or some browser cookies, or to alert you when websites set or access cookies. If you disable or refuse cookies, please note that some parts of this website may become inaccessible or not function properly.

What is a cookie?

Cookies are text files containing small amounts of information (letters and numbers) which are downloaded to your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to collect standard internet log information and gather evidence in order to improve the website and the user experience. For example, cookies allow us to recognise and count the number of visitors to different parts of our websites and their geographical make-up, but also to make certain website features work, for example secure access to private areas of a website.

If the settings on the software that you are using to view our website(s) (your browser) are adjusted to accept cookies, we take this, and your continued use of our website, to mean that you accept our use of cookies.

Can cookies be turned off?

You can usually switch cookies off by adjusting your browser settings to stop it from accepting cookies. Doing so, however, will likely limit the functionality of our and a large proportion of the world’s websites as cookies are a standard part of most modern websites. It may be that your concerns around cookies relate to so called ‘spyware’. Rather than switching off cookies in your browser, you may find that anti-spyware software achieves the same objective by automatically deleting cookies considered to be invasive.

What cookies do we use?

We use analytical cookies to help us to improve the way our website works, for example by making sure users are finding what they need easily. These are non-essential cookies that allow us to collect information about how visitors use the website, for instance which pages visitors go to most often. We use Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google, Inc. to set cookies in order to evaluate use of our websites and compile a report for us.

Google stores the information collected by the cookie on servers in the United States. Google may also transfer this information to third parties where required to do so by law, or where such third parties process the information on Google’s behalf. We do not make, and do not allow Google to make, any attempt to find out the identities of those visiting our website.

We also use strictly necessary cookies. These are essential in order to enable you to move around the website and use its features. Without these cookies, services you have specifically asked for, like securely accessing your user page or remembering your cookies preferences, cannot be provided.

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 and that reason is compatible with the original purpose. If you wish to receive an explanation as to how the processing for the new purpose is compatible with the original purpose, please contact info@baker-richards.com

If we need to use your personal data for an unrelated purpose, we will notify you and we will explain the legal basis which allows us to do so.

Please note that we may process your personal data without your knowledge or consent, in compliance with the above rules, where this is required or permitted by law.

Who we share your personal data with

We may have to share your personal data with the parties set out below for the purposes of providing the service.

  • our staff;
  • third party service providers and partners who assist and enable us to use the personal data to, for example, provide support to you; deliver services or tp provide functionality on the website or services.  We ensure that our suppliers protect your personal information as securely as we do.
  • regulators, law enforcement bodies, government agencies, courts or other third parties where we think it’s necessary or where the law or regulators require us to do so in order to comply with applicable laws or regulations, or to exercise, establish or defend our legal rights;
  • an additional or replacement data processor or data processors, their agents and advisers;
  • other people where we have your consent.

We require all staff and third parties to respect the security of your personal data and to treat it in accordance with the law. We do not allow our staff or 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.

International Transfers

Some of our external third parties may be based outside the European Economic Area (EEA) so their processing of your personal data will involve a transfer of data outside the EEA.

Whenever we transfer your personal data out of the EEA, we ensure a similar degree of protection is afforded to it by implementing appropriate and internationally-recognised safeguards.

Data Security

We have put in place appropriate security measures to prevent your personal data from being accidentally lost, used or accessed in an unauthorised way, altered or disclosed. In addition, we limit access to your personal data to those employees, agents, contractors and other third parties who have a business need to know. They will only process your personal data on our instructions and they are subject to a duty of confidentiality.

We have put in place procedures to deal with any suspected personal data breach 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 for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements.

To determine the appropriate retention period for personal data, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorised use or disclosure of your personal data, the purposes for which we process your personal data and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal requirements.

In some circumstances you can ask us to delete your data: see Your legal rights below for further information.

In some circumstances we may anonymise your personal data (so that it can no longer be associated with you) for research or statistical purposes in which case we may use this information indefinitely without further notice to you.

Your legal rights

Unless subject to an exemption under the data protection laws, you have the following rights with respect to your personal data:

  • The right to request a copy of the personal data which we hold about you;
  • The right to request that we correct any personal data if it is found to be inaccurate or out of date;
  • The right to request your personal data is erased where it is no longer necessary to retain such data;
  • The right to withdraw your consent to the processing at any time, where consent was the lawful basis for processing your data;
  • The right to request that we provide you with your personal data and where possible, to transmit that data directly to another data controller, (known as the right to data portability), where applicable (i.e. where our processing is based on consent or is necessary for the performance of our contract with you or where we process your data by automated means);
  • The right, where there is a dispute in relation to the accuracy or processing of your personal data, to request a restriction is placed on further processing;
  • The right to object to our processing of personal data, where applicable i.e. where processing is based on our legitimate interests (or in performance of a task in the public interest/exercise of official authority); direct marketing or processing for the purposes of scientific/historical research and statistics).
  • If you wish to exercise any of the rights set out above, please contact info@baker-richards.com

No fee required – with some exceptions

You will not have to pay a fee to access your personal data (or to exercise any of the other rights). However, we may charge a reasonable administration fee if your request is clearly unfounded, repetitive or excessive. Alternatively, we may refuse to comply with your request in these circumstances.

What we may need from you

We may need to request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity and ensure your right to access your personal data (or to exercise any of your other rights). This is a security measure to ensure that personal data is not disclosed to any person who has no right to receive it. We may also contact you to ask you for further information in relation to your request to speed up our response.

This version was last updated on 23 September 2021 and historic versions may be obtained by contacting us.

Please keep us informed if your personal data changes during your relationship with us. It is important that the personal data we hold about you is accurate and current.
