The Data Protection Act 1998

Personal information provided to Barcan Woodward will be used for the purposes outlined at the time of collection. In addition, personal information may be used for statistical analysis.

Personal data will be collected and processed by Barcan Woodward to provide services, administration, marketing, advertising and promotions, notification of events, workshops and training sessions.

With each communication the firm sends out, it is possible to opt-out of receiving further messages.

However, written agreements exist between Barcan Woodward and such parties that there must be no disclosure or further processing of such personal data.

We do not sell your information but processing personal data may entail sharing the information with employees, contractors, agents and professional advisors servicing Barcan Woodward. For instance, we do occasionally enter into joint projects with other organisations so that we can offer a fuller service to you, such as joint seminars. At these times it may be necessary to allow third party agents access to personal information to provide these services. This access is strictly limited to specific agents and for specific purposes and activities. We protect your privacy with written agreements between Barcan Woodward and the other party that there must be no disclosure or further processing of such personal data.
