How do we collect information from you?

We obtain information about you when you use our website, for example, when you contact us about the services we offer or if you email us with an enquiry or if you subscribe to a newsletter.

What type of information is collected from you?

The personal information we collect might include your name, address, email address, IP address, location data and information regarding what pages are accessed and when.

We may also ask you for information if you report a problem with our website. If you contact us, we may keep a record of that correspondence.

As part of the services offered to you through this website, the information which you provide to us may be transferred to countries outside the European Union (“EU”). By way of example, this may happen if any of our servers are from time to time located in a country outside of the EU. These countries may not have similar data protection laws to the UK. By submitting your personal data, you’re agreeing to this transfer, storing or processing. If we transfer your information outside of the EU in this way, we will take steps to ensure that appropriate security measures are taken with the aim of ensuring that your privacy rights continue to be protected as outlined in this Policy.

If you use our services while you are outside the EU, your information may be transferred outside the EU in order to provide you with those services.

Security precautions in place to protect the loss, misuse or alteration of your information

When you give us personal information, we take steps to ensure that it’s treated securely.

Non-sensitive details (your email address etc.) are transmitted normally over the Internet, and this can never be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, while we strive to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee the security of any information you transmit to us, and you do so at your own risk. Once we receive your information, we make our best effort to ensure its security on our systems by physically locking printed documents away, keeping our secure server in a locked environment and using password protection.

When you are on a secure page, a lock icon will appear on the bottom of web browsers such as Microsoft Internet Explorer.

Unfortunately, the transmission of information 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 site; any transmission is at your own risk. Once we have received your information, we will use procedures and security features to try to prevent unauthorised access.

How is your information used?

We use information held about you in the following ways:

• to carry out our obligations arising from any contracts entered into by you and us;
• to provide you with the information, products and services that you request from us;
• to ensure that content from our site is presented in the most effective manner for you;
• to send you communications which you have requested and that may be of interest to you about goods and services we provide like those which were the subject of a previous sale, negotiations of a sale to you or previous enquiry;
• to notify you about changes to our services;

Who has access to your information?

We will not sell or rent your information to third parties.

We will not share your information with third parties for marketing purposes.

We may disclose your personal information to third parties if we are under a duty to disclose or share your personal data to comply with any legal obligation, or to enforce either our Terms and Conditions or this privacy policy.

Third Party Service providers working on our behalf: We may pass your information to our nominated third party service providers, agents, subcontractors and other associated organisations for the purposes of completing tasks and providing services to you on our behalf. When we use these third-party suppliers, we disclose only the personal information that is necessary to deliver the service. Typically, these include but are not limited to services like Dropbox, WeTransfer, Sage Business Accounting, Microsoft 365 and Mailchimp

You have the right to access the information we hold about you. Please contact photography@ikon-partnership.co.uk if you have any questions, comments relating to our privacy statement or would like to request access to information we hold.

You may also request to change your marketing preferences at any time by contacting us by email at photography@ikon-partnership.co.uk or telephone on 0161 480 3456.
