Use and storage of your personal information
From time to time we collect personal information (e.g. name and
email address etc) in order to establish contact, answer queries,
or to market our services. We will reveal data held on our files,
if asked, only to the person about whom the data is held. We will
never collect data unnecessarily, nor keep it for longer than is
necessary.
When you supply any personal information to Bering, Bering will
respect its legal obligations towards you in the way we deal with
that data. We do this by trying to collect the information openly
and clearly explain what it is for and how we will use it. Please
look for explanatory notices on the relevant web pages.
We will hold your personal information on our systems for as long
as you use the service you have requested, and remove it in the
event that the purpose has been met. We will ensure that all personal
information supplied is held securely, in accordance with the Data
Protection Act 1998.
In general, any information which you provide to Bering will only
be used within the company and by its service providers. It will
never be supplied to anyone outside the company without your consent,
unless obliged to and permitted by law to disclose it.
Access to your personal information
You have the right to request a copy of the personal information
that Bering holds about you and to have any inaccuracies corrected.
A small charge (up to £20) may be levied to cover the cost
of our administration in meeting any such requests. Please address
