Privacy policy

We respect your rights to data protection and privacy 

This notice only relates to the processing of personal data directly provided by you or collected as a result of visiting this website.  

Who are we? 

We are Riverlane Ltd, a private limited company registered in the UK with company number 10260255. We are registered with the Information Commissioner's Office as a fee-paying controller, under registration number ZA830857. 

In respect of personal data processed when you use this website, we are the controller. "Personal data", "processing" and "controller" are all used in this notice according to their definitions in the UK General Data Protection Regulation ("UK GDPR") and the Data Protection Act 2018. 

What personal data do we collect? 

As a result of your visiting this website, we may collect or otherwise process your personal data in the following ways: 

  • When you provide your personal data on a contact form 
  • When you contact us by other means, such as email or telephone 
  • In the form of information provided by your web browser, through the use of cookies or similar software (for details about our use of such software, please see the Cookies section below). 

What is our basis for processing your personal data? 

Any personal data that you give to us may be retained by us to provide a requested service, or for our legitimate interests as a business. You do not have to give us any of your personal data in order to use most of the website.  

In general, our legal basis for processing your personal data is that it is in our legitimate interests to do so. We have an interest in operating our business in a professional manner and this is reflected in our processing of your personal data. 

We will maintain this Privacy Notice from time to time on this site. 

Who might access or receive your personal data? 

Recipients of personal data provided as a result of your visiting this website will generally only consist of our employees. In certain circumstances we may be compelled to provide information we hold to third parties, such as regulatory or law enforcement bodies. We would only do so in compliance with the law, and where strictly necessary. 

How do we protect your personal information? 

We take appropriate technical and organisational measures to ensure that we keep your information secure, accurate and up to date, and that we only keep it as long as is reasonable and necessary. Although we use appropriate security measures once we have received your personal information, the transmission of information when you submit it over the internet is never completely secure. We do our best to protect personal information, but we cannot guarantee the security of information transmitted to our website, so any transmission is at the user’s own risk. 

How long do we retain your personal information? 

We will not keep personal data longer than is necessary for the purpose or purposes for which they were collected. We will take all reasonable steps to destroy, or erase from our systems, all data that is no longer required.
