This website is owned and controlled by SHARES Lancashire Ltd. We regard
your privacy as important and any personal information you give to us will
only be used in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation
2018. We do not store personal information about people who visit this site
unless they provide contact information or use one of our online services.

If you provide any personal information in order to use a service on this
website, it will only be used for the reasons given in our privacy notice.
It will not be shared with any third party without your consent, unless
required by law or in order to comply with duties to prevent and detect
crime or to protect public funds.

Legal basis

Any personal information you give us, whether sent to us via online forms
or through other means, is held securely and will only be used with your
consent (where you have agreed to us communicating with you about different
offers and services).

In general, we will hold your personal data for the purpose of providing
you additional content, through emails and/or running the “10 Day

Sharing

We may pass your personal data onto the people who provide the service you
have requested. We will never sell your information or share it with other
organisations for marketing, market research or commercial purposes.

Retention

We retain personal information we collect from you as long as we have an
ongoing legitimate business need to do so. For example, this may be in the
normal activities of providing additional content, through email to you
and/or running the “10 Day Challenge” competition.

We use cookies so that you do not need to enter information again if you
return to some pages. We do not use information gathered by cookies for any
other reason.

Cookies are used in our web applications to keep track of your preferences,
your logins, enabling the web site to run efficiently and collecting data
on how people use our web site.

When we provide services, we want to make them easy, useful and reliable.
Where services are delivered on the internet, this sometimes involves
placing small amounts of information on your device as well as analysing
your journey through the site, to help us improve your experience as a
user.

These pieces of information are used to improve services for you through,
for example:

• enabling a service to recognise your device so you don’t have to give the
  same information several times during one task.
• ecognising that you may already have given a username and password so
  you don’t need to do it for every web page requested.
• measuring how many people are using online services, to help us improve
  the website

This is done through small files known as cookies. They cannot be used to
identify you personally.

A cookie is a small text file usually containing a random and unique
identifier that is sent to your browser from a web server and then stored
onto your computer’s hard drive. They are used to store information about
you on your computer.
