Use of Cookies

When you enter your name, postal address and e-mail address, we may send you a Cookie. This is a small file which may be placed on your computer's hard disk. The Cookie is capable of keeping records; such records include statistics relating to your browsing patterns. These statistics are anonymous - you cannot therefore be identified individually. We may use this Cookie to tailor our services to suit your preferences. If you do not wish to receive this Cookie from us, you may choose to modify your browser to decline our Cookie. However, please note that such action may impair your use of our website.

Web site data

We may also use aggregate information and statistics for the purposes of monitoring usage of this site in order to help us develop this site and our services and may provide such aggregate information to third parties. These statistics will not include information that can be used to identify any individual. From time to time, we may provide your information to our customer service agencies for research and analysis purposes. These statistics will not include information that can be used to identify any individual.

Protecting your information

The internet is not a secure medium. However we have put in place organisational measures to protect personal information under our control from unauthorised or unlawful processing and against loss or destruction or damage. We cannot guarantee or ensure the security of any information that is transmitted over the internet or that loss, misuse or alteration of data so transmitted will not occur. Our internal procedures cover the storage, access and disclosure of your information in accordance with our Notification of Use with the ICO.

When you contact us, we sometimes ask you for your name and main contact details. For example, if you complete the enquiry form on this website or sign up to our eNewsletter, we will require your name and email address, along with additional information we need to help us respond to your enquiry. EIC will keep your information strictly confidential, except where disclosure is required or permitted by law. Otherwise, we will only use your information within our organisation.

If you subscribe to our eNewsletter, you will have the option to modify your subscription or opt out of our mailing list at any time. This can be done on the website or by clicking on the 'unsubscribe link' in the footer of every eNewsletter we send.

Your consent

By submitting your information, you consent to the use of that information as set out in this policy and in our notification of use with the ICO, available from ICO upon request. If we change our privacy policy we will post the changes on this page, and may place notices on other pages of the website, so that you are aware of the information we collect and how we use it at all times. Use of the service signifies that you agree to any such changes. Continued use of the service will signify that you agree to any such changes. Owing to the global nature of the internet infrastructure, the information you provide may be transferred in transit to countries outside the European Economic Area that do not have similar protections in place regarding your data and its use as set out in this policy. However, we have taken the steps outlined above to try to improve the security of your information. By submitting your information you consent to these transfers and information is adequately protected.

Warning: Your home may be respossessed if you do not keep up repayments on your mortgage. We reserve the right to charge a fee for mortgage advice - as our advice is completely impartial, any fee will be dependent upon your circumstances. We would estimate this to be approximately £150. The guidance and/or advice contained in this website is subject to UK regulatory regime and is therefore restricted to consumers based in the UK.
