Data Protection
New Directions Holdings Ltd respects the privacy of every individual who visits its web sites and any information collected about you will firstly be used to fulfill any service you might request and secondly improve how as a company we serve you. We do this by making appropriate use of the information.
This information will not be disclosed to anyone outside of New Directions Holdings Ltd except where it is necessary to provide a requested service. It will be treated in accordance with the legal provisions under English law concerning data protection and may be initially stored and processed inside or outside the European Union anywhere in the world.
You have the right as an individual to find out what information we hold about you and make corrections if necessary; you also have the right to ask us to not use the information. We will make all practical efforts to respect your wishes. However certain legislation, especially related to child protection, safety issues or financial regulation might prevent this.

This information will be stored in accordance with the Data Protection Act (1998) and only shared with appropriate third parties when required to do so in order to provide the required service(s) or where required by law.
