The BAS website uses only standard fixed 'cookies'.
A cookie is a small file which asks permission to be placed on your computer’s hard drive. Once you
agree, the file is added and the cookie helps analyse web traffic or lets you know when you visit a
particular site. Cookies allow web applications to respond to you as an individual. The web
application can tailor its operations to your needs, likes and dislikes by gathering and remembering
information about your preferences.
We use traffic log cookies to identify which pages are being used. This helps us analyse data about
web page traffic and improve our website in order to tailor it to customer needs. We only use this
information for statistical analysis purposes.
Overall, cookies help us provide you with a better website, by enabling us to monitor which pages
you find useful and which you do not. A cookie in no way gives us access to your computer or any
information about you, other than the data you choose to share with us.
You can choose to accept or decline cookies. Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but
you can usually modify your browser setting to decline cookies if you prefer. This may prevent you
from taking full advantage of the website.
What we do with the information we gather
We require this information to understand your needs and provide you with a better service, and in
particular for the following reasons:
• Internal record keeping.
• We may use the information to improve our products and services.
• We may periodically send promotional emails about new products, special offers or other
information which we think you may find interesting using the email address which you have
provided.
• From time to time, we may also use your information to contact you for market research purposes.
We may contact you by email, phone or mail. We may use the information to customise the website
according to your interests.
How long do we store it for?
We will store your personal information for a maximum of two years after your last communication
with us, or from the date of completion of our services, whichever is the latest. If you wish to stop
hearing from us prior to that time then email emma@boatmanadmin.co.uk
Financial transactions between us might include some personal data. We are required to keep this
information for the current financial year plus an additional six years.
Whilst we store your information we store it securely to prevent unauthorised use.
