What information do we collect?
We monitor user activity to enhance content provided on this site. This website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Inc. (‘Google’). Google Analytics uses cookies and JavaScript code to help analyse user activity on websites. The information generated about your use of the website (including your anonymised IP address) will be transmitted to and stored on Google servers in the United States.
Google will use this information to produce user activity reports for this website. 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.
Google will not associate your IP address with any other data previously held. You may refuse the use of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings on your browser. Please note that if cookies are disabled, you may not be able to use the full functionality of this website.

People who email us
We use Microsoft Outlook to receive and send email communications and you can view their privacy policy here.

Third-party data
We buy in third party business data relating to decision makers and budget holders in medium-to-large organisations in the UK. We contact this data to advise on their legal fire safety requirements and we have carried out a legitimate interests assessment in order to communicate with this data documented here.
Latest guidance from the Information Commissioner says that legitimate interests may be the most appropriate basis when:
“the processing is not required by law but is of a clear benefit to you or others; there’s a limited privacy impact on the individual; the individual should reasonably expect you to use their data in that way; and you cannot, or do not want to, give the individual full upfront control (i.e. consent) or bother them with disruptive consent requests when they are unlikely to object to the processing.”
We will always send a welcome communication email with the opportunity to opt-out at any time. We will send 6 monthly refresher emails to ensure you are happy to continue receiving our communications. Through our third-party provider this data is re-licensed every 12 months to ensure accuracy and screened against our own data who have opted- out of our communications.
