This information helps us to:
- improve our site by monitoring how it is being used
- contact you with information about our services if you want it
Where your data is stored:
- we store your data on our secure servers in Scotland
- some data may also be stored outside of Europe, such as that collected by website analytics, survey services or social media services, where it could be viewed by our staff or suppliers

We take appropriate steps to ensure that our site is safe to use.
