This privacy policy relates to your use of our website only. Strengthscope is committed to protecting and respecting your privacy, and to acting in compliance with the UK Data Protection Act 2018 and GDPR regulations. Our lawful basis for processing the data is consent.
Simply visiting Strengthscope’s website does not require you to reveal personal data. But if you ask us for information, order products or services, register with us, use our services or report a problem, we collect any personal data you submit to us, and details of the transactions between you and us. In addition, we store information you may give us about your interests, or we may learn about these from your use of our goods and services.
This policy will explain how we collect, use and process the data that you give us.
We adopt a layered approach to privacy and data protection of which this privacy policy is one aspect. We also have fair collection notices at various points on our website and other operational systems where data is collected. These fair collection notices appear as pop-ups or as forms for completion at the relevant points where data is collected.
