Introduction

NFS Mediation Ltd values its visitors’ privacy. This privacy statement is effective from 1^st January 2025 and summarises the information we might collect from a visitor to our website, and what we will (and will not) do with it. It also describes how we use cookies and how we host the website.

Please note that this privacy statement does not apply to the collection and use of information by individuals or organisations other than NFS Mediation.

The information that we might collect

When you browse this website, we have visibility of the following information:

your device’s IP address, indicating where your computer is located on the Internet; and
session data for your login session (so that our computer can ‘talk’ to yours while you are browsing our site).

We keep a record of the IP address to maintain the provision of the website service (as this information can often enable us to identify and fix problems).

What we do with your personally identifiable information

We will only use the information referred to above to:

maintain our website;
enable you to use it; and
notify you of material changes to this privacy statement.

That includes our sharing it with those individuals who manage or audit our website. In line with common practice, we maintain backup copies of material that we keep in order to restore the website service following a significant adverse incident, and this will include the information that you have provided to us. We will take reasonable precautions to protect the information from loss, misuse and unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration and destruction.

We will not:

sell or rent the information to a third party;
use or disclose the information except:
- as necessary to provide services you have requested;
- in other ways described in this privacy policy or to which you have otherwise consented;
- as required by law.

Personal information collected via this site will be used to provide a requested service, will be shared only as the law permits and stored only for as long as required to fulfil the service.

Where you have used our contact form, we will only use the information to provide the requested service; we will retain your details for as long as necessary to fulfil the request and will not share your details without your prior permission unless required to do so by law.
