Privacy Notice

We understand that privacy and the security of your personal information is extremely important.

This notice sets out how we collect your personal information, what we do with it and what we do to keep it secure.  It also explains your rights over the personal information we hold about you.

This policy relates to CMP and applies to clients, prospective clients, employees, and visitors to our website, social media pages or contact CMP by other means.

CMP is registered with the Information Commissioners Office as, and acts as a ‘data controller’.

The information that we collect about you will only be used lawfully. We shall comply with our regulatory and legal obligations to comply with relevant legislation for processing data.

All data is retained within the United Kingdom and transferred only if adequate protection has been confirmed.

We have identified that the lawful bases for our data use under this engagement are:

  • The ‘legitimate interest’ of the parties and those involved in the services provided
  • Compliance with our ‘legal obligations’
  • Where relevant, to ensure the performance of a ‘contract’ between us

We have organised this Privacy Notice by Processing Activity, to enable you to easily access details specifically relating to our use of your data.  Regardless of which activity we collect and process your data for, your rights remain the same.

  • The right to rectification: If any of the personal information we hold about you is inaccurate or incomplete you have the right to have this corrected.
  • The right to erasure: You have the right to erasure, also known as ‘the right to be forgotten’. You can request the deletion or removal of your personal data where there is no compelling reason for its continued processing.  Note, however, that we may not always be able to comply with your erasure request for specific legal reasons.
  • The right to object: You have the right to object to the processing of your personal data in certain circumstances such as when processing is based on legitimate interests, or for direct marketing (including profiling).
  • The right to restrict processing: You have the right to ask us to suspend the processing of your personal data in some instances.  When processing is restricted, we are permitted to store your personal data, but not further process it.
  • The right to data portability (request to transfer): You have the right to receive the personal data which you have provided in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format and have the right to transmit this data to another controller without hindrance where technically feasible.
  • Rights in relation to automated decision making and profiling: CMP does not use automated decision making and profiling in providing our service.
