This policy sets out the basis on which any personal data we collect from you, or that you provide to us, will be processed by us. Please read the following carefully to understand our views and practices regarding your personal data and how we will treat it.
For the purposes of the General Data Protection Regulation, the data controller is Trak Global Group Limited, Global House, Westmere Drive, Crewe Business Park, Crewe, Cheshire, CW1 6ZD.
Basis for Processing
We will use our best endeavours to ensure that we process information you provide to us only in accordance with your consent.

We will take all steps necessary to ensure that your data is treated securely and in accordance with this privacy policy. Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure, and although we will do our best to protect your personal data, we cannot guarantee the security of data transmitted to our site – any transmission is undertaken at your own risk.
