Privacy Statement

Privacy Policy

Orbit First Step reserves the right to gather information relating to site usage. Any information gathered is primarily for internal use to allow us to refine and improve our customer service. We do not in the main part gather specific information from individuals. Where we will do so we will state clearly that this is the case, and we will make sure this is held securely and in compliance with all relevant legislation.

Where disclosure of information to a third party is likely we will, where possible, endeavour to ensure that this is clearly indicated.

This does not affect your statutory rights.

Data Protection

Orbit First Step is a data controller under the Data Protection Act 1998. We will process personal information you have supplied to us in accordance with that Act and only for the purpose for which it is collected. We process information only for the purposes specified in our notifications to the Information Commissioner.

We may get information about you from others or we may give information to them. If we do, it will only be as the law permits:

• to prevent or detect crime
• to protect public funds
• to check the accuracy of information you supply, or
• where we are required to by court order or legislation.

As a data subject, you have the right to ask for a copy of information we hold about you and to ask for any inaccuracies to be corrected.

This privacy policy applies only to our site, so you should always be aware when you are moving to another site and read the privacy statement of any site that collects personal information. We do not pass on any personal information you have given us via the web site to any other site. We identify where a link will take you to another site where possible.
