Please note that our Payment Service Provider may collect personal information from you which will be used in accordance with their own privacy policy (for Worldpay click here), which you should read. More information regarding our Payment Service Provider can be accessed via the Payment Service Provider’s website. We are not liable for the practices of any Payment Service Provider in respect of your personal information.

In the event that you provide us with feedback regarding our website or any of our services, we may use and disclose that feedback to our suppliers and other users of our website where it is necessary in our legitimate interests to do so in order to improve our website and the services that we provide. This includes any information that you provide to us if you report a problem with our website or any of our services.

If you correspond with us (e.g. using email), we may retain a record of or the content of your correspondence together with your contact details and our responses where necessary for our and your legitimate interests in order that we can appropriately manage your relationship with us, to reply to your correspondence and for training and quality purposes.

In limited circumstances, we may approach you for your consent to allow us to process certain information for purposes not referred to in this Privacy Policy. If we do so, we will provide you with full details of the information we would like and the reason we need it, so that you can carefully consider whether you wish to consent. You should be aware that it is not a condition of any contract with us that you agree to any such request for consent from us. If you do provide us with consent, you will be able to withdraw it at any time via the method that we notify you of when obtaining your consent. Any such withdrawal will not affect the lawfulness of our processing of your personal information for the relevant purpose(s) before you withdrew consent.

If we require your information in connection with any services which you request from us (or any other request) and you fail to provide that information, or if the information you provide is not accurate, we may not be able to provide such services, perform our obligations under any related contract, or assist with any related request.

We will not sell any of your personal data to any third party.

3. Third Parties

We may disclose personal data about you:

a) to third parties who are directly involved in dealing with any request, enquiry, complaint or other correspondence submitted by you in the performance of any contract between us and you;

b) to third parties who are processing your information on our behalf for specified purposes in accordance with our instructions;

c) where such disclosure is required by law;

d) to third parties who are providing us with professional advice where necessary for our legitimate interests in obtaining such advice and permitted by law;

e) where the disclosure is in connection with any criminal investigation, legal proceedings or prospective legal proceedings where necessary for our related legitimate interests and permitted by law;

f) where the disclosure is necessary for our legitimate interests and permitted by law in order to establish, exercise or defend our legal rights (including providing information to others for the purposes of fraud prevention, debt collection, debt tracing actions and reducing credit risk or to protect the rights, property or safety of Rollits, our clients, our employees, suppliers or others); and

g) where we have stated or informed you otherwise (e.g. on our website).

We will not pass on your information to any third party for the purpose of marketing.

We may also disclose your personal data to third parties in the event that we propose to dispose of or acquire any business or assets (in which case we may disclose your personal information to the prospective acquirer or seller of such business or assets and/or their professional advisors) or if we or substantially all of our assets are proposed to be acquired by a third party. Any such disclosure will be made where necessary for the legitimate interests of us and/or the third party in respect of the proposed transaction; however we will not transfer your personal information to any such third party unless we are satisfied that they are able to provide an adequate level of protection in respect of your personal information.

4. How do you stop marketing information being sent to you?

If you have opted in to receive our e-newsletter, you can ask that such information is no longer sent to you by emailing us at moc.s1732131319tillo1732131319r@ely1732131319oc.ta1732131319p1732131319 or writing to Pat Coyle, Director of Marketing & Client Relations, Rollits LLP, Citadel House, 58 High Street, Hull, HU1 1QE or clicking on the appropriate link in the footer of any of our marketing emails. Any related withdrawal of consent will not affect the lawfulness or our processing based on your consent before you withdrew it.

5. Security

We have put in place appropriate security measures to prevent your personal information from being accidentally lost, used or accessed in an unauthorised way, altered or disclosed. In addition, we limit access to your personal information to those employees, agents, contractors and other third parties who have a business need to know that information. However, the Internet is global and no data transmitted via the Internet can be guaranteed by us to be completely secure during transmission. We cannot guarantee the security of any information that you disclose online and we will not be responsible for any breach of security unless this is due to our negligence or wilful default. It is possible that the information you provide to us will be temporarily transferred via a route outside the United Kingdom and the European Economic Area as it passes between us.

We have put in place procedures to deal with any suspected data security breach and will notify you and/or any applicable regulator of a suspected breach where we are legally required to do so.

In certain circumstances we may use the services of a supplier outside the United Kingdom and European Economic Area (EEA) for purposes referred to in this Privacy Policy. This may involve your personal information being processed by the relevant supplier on our behalf outside of the UK and EEA. If we do this, we will require the relevant supplier to put in place appropriate technical and organisational data protection security measures (for example, as part of our contract with the relevant supplier).

All direct payment gateways used by our website adhere to the encryption and other standards of the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI-DSS).
