Key Facts

1. Introduction

This website http://libertysyndicates.com is operated for and on behalf of Liberty Syndicate Management ® Limited (“Liberty”) trading as Liberty Syndicates ®. This policy (together with our Terms & Conditions of Use and any other documents referred to on it) sets out the basis on which any personal information you may provide to us when you visit the site will be processed by us and who we may share that personal information with.

For the purpose of the Data Protection Act 1998 (as may be amended from time to time), the data controller is Liberty Syndicate Management ® Limited of 5th Floor, Plantation Place South, 60 Great Tower Street, London, EC3R 5AZ.

2. Collection of Personal Data

You can browse our pages without having to tell us who you are or revealing any personal information whatsoever. However, on part of our website, you may email your CV to us in relation to job vacancies and, in so doing, you are providing us with your personal information. Also, if you contact us about the website or any other matter, we may keep a record of that correspondence.

3. Cookie Statement

Cookies are pieces of information that a website transfers to your hard drive to store and sometimes track information about your use of the website and the aspects of it which were of interest to you. Most web browsers automatically accept cookies so as to maximise your use of the websites you access, but if you prefer, you can change your browser to prevent that. However, you may not be able to take full advantage of a website if you do so. Cookies are specific to the server that created them and cannot legally be accessed by other services, which means they cannot be used to track your movements around the web.

We use cookies to estimate our audience size and patters, track preferences and to improve and update our website. If you are unsure about cookies, you have the option to refuse to accept them, or to decline them by modifying the settings in your browser. To find out how to disable/enable cookies, please click on this link: http://www.allaboutcookies.org/manage-cookies.

Please note that the websites to which we have provided links in our website may also use cookies, over which we have no control.

4. Using Information Gathered

If you submit a CV to us through this website, we will use the information contained in the CV only for the purpose of recruitment. We may circulate your personal information within the Liberty Mutual group of companies for this purpose [this may include your personal data being transferred to, and stored within, our IT systems in the USA. If you do not consent to the transfer of your personal data abroad, please do not submit your CV via this website, but contact us separately]. We will not pass your details to third parties unless we are required to do so by law or if we believe that such action is necessary to protect and defend the rights, property or personal safety of website users (including Liberty).

5. Data Integrity and Security

The security measures in place on our website and computer systems are in place to protect the loss, misuse or alteration of the information you provide to us. We keep your personal data only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected or to comply with any applicable legal or ethical reporting or document retention requirements.

Because e-mails submitted via this website are not protected by the same security measures we use in other areas where we actively collect information, you should be particularly careful in deciding what information you wish to send to us via e-mail.

In the event that you become aware of any actual or potential misuse of any such information, please contact The Compliance Officer, 5th Floor, Plantation Place South, 60 Great Tower Street, London EC3R 5AZ or by emailing info@libertysyndicates.co.uk as soon as possible.

6. Data Access and Corrections

If we have retained your CV, upon receipt of your written request, we will disclose to you any personal information we hold about you, which may be subject to a fee of £10 to meet our costs in providing you with the information we hold about you. You may update any information you have given to us by sending an email to claire.houghton(_at_sign_)libertygroup.co.uk.
