For staff we also hold information related to their employment, and financial information including that connected with payroll.
The information we request from website users is needed to fulfil your specific request. You don’t have to disclose any of this information to browse our website. However, if you wish to make an enquiry, we obviously need to know how to contact you to reply. If you wish to download one of our reports we ask that you provide your contact details to help us monitor the distribution of our reports. We would also like to seek your consent so that we may thereafter contact you about the report and to see if you might like to make use of our economics services in future.
We collect such personal information in connection with specific activities, as well as (only incidentally) when you make enquiries, for example about our reports and other outputs, contracts we are working on, applications for employment, employment, and feedback.
If we collect any personal information in connection with survey responses, the survey text will say what will be done with that information.

We collect your personal information in a number of ways:
Personal information collected and processed by us may be used, for the following purposes:
We will also hold information about your details so that we can respect your preferences for being contacted by us.
Where we access your data in the course of responding to an enquiry, preparing for or carrying out a contract, or in the course of an employment relationship, we have a legitimate interest that justifies our holding that data for the time it takes to respond, or to carry out the contract, and a reasonable period thereafter.
If your data is not subject to the performance of a contractual arrangement, or a legal requirement, then we will seek your prior consent explicitly for any use we might be going to make of it other than the purpose for which you supplied it.
We will not make marketing calls to you if you are registered with the Telephone Preference Service (TPS) and will only do so if you have given us consent that you are happy to receive calls from us, or give us such consent in the first such call.
It is not our policy to sell or pass on your data to other organisations to use for their own purposes.
We occasionally enter into joint ventures with companies who we would like to help us to inform you of our or similar products, or who may help us run events. If that is the case we will seek your consent and we would be very clear what will happen to your data when you register for an event.
We would only disclose information when obliged to by law, for purposes of national security, taxation and criminal investigations and the following:
Information which you submit to us is stored on our computers located within the UK and backed up on a secure server. It is passed from our website to our computers via a GDPR compliant third party server.
This will be done in accordance with guidance issued by the Information Commissioner’s Office. We only keep information for as long as we are allowed to in accordance with other legislation or relevant regulations.
Any personal information you supply to us will be retained for no longer than necessary and will be removed from our systems or securely disposed of in accordance with the requirements of our Data Protection Policy.
Staff and work experience or interns’ records are kept for six years after they leave.
