Privacy Policy
We are committed to treating your personal data with due care. MPH Group and its subsidiaries are fully compliant with current UK data protection legislation and regulations.
Your details will be kept on a central customer database and we will only use your information for purposes that you would reasonably anticipate. This will include correspondence that may be relevant to you or your company such as the introduction of new products or services or details of MPH Group news and events.
Your details will not be passed to a third party unless we have obtained your consent to do so or in exceptional circumstances where we are required or permitted to do so by law to comply with the legal process or to protect and defend the rights or property of MPH Group. You can write to us at any time to ask for your name to be removed from our mailing list.
You have a right to access information that we store about you and your company but, as you will appreciate, there is a need for us to protect your confidentiality. One of the ways we protect your confidentiality is to check that anyone asking for personal information has the right to receive it. Sometimes we may ask you to prove your identity or provide a written authority before making information available.
