Crosby Abbott needs to collect and use certain types of information about people (“personal data”) with whom it deals in order to operate and carry out its legitimate business purposes. These include current, past and prospective clients, members of Crosby Abbott Business Network, its Corporate Members, students, employees, suppliers, associates, and others with whom it communicates. We may use your personal data, together with any other information, for administration, marketing, customer service, Continuous Professional Development, education, research, Branch, Professional Network and Internet related activities. We may also disclose your personal data to our service providers and agents for these purposes. In addition, we may occasionally be required by law to collect and use certain types of information of this kind and of a sensitive nature, for example, to comply with the requirements of government departments. This personal data must be dealt with properly, however it is collected, recorded and used – whether on paper, in a computer, on the Internet or recorded on other material – and there are safeguards to ensure this in the Data Protection Act 1998.
