Like many organisations, we use cookies on our website to monitor how effectively the website functions to improve the user experience. Cookies are small files of letters or numbers downloaded onto a device when users access websites. They are widely used in order to make websites work, for example to make the videos play, or to work more efficiently, as well as to provide service information to the owners of the site.
It is crucial for business to gather data on website performance to gain insight into its functionality, including the most frequently used articles and pages by visitors. This information enables businesses to enhance the visitor experience. We analyse your activities across different devices in a collective and anonymous way, enabling us to generate user activity reports and guarantee accessibility of our content on various platforms and devices.
To use cookies, we must seek your consent to do this. You can amend your preferences at any time.
We collect this information to:
- Provide you with services that you may request from us.

How do we collect this information?
We collect personal information:

- From publicly available sources: e.g social media (such as LinkedIn), internet services (such as Companies House, company websites etc)
We are committed to keeping your information up to date. If you believe that we have made an error, then please contact us as we have outlined below, and we will use reasonable endeavours to correct.
Keeping your information safe and secure.
New World Tech is committed to keeping Clients’ personal information secure to protect it from being inappropriately or accidentally accessed, used, shared or destroyed, and against it being lost. We are certified to Cyber Essentials and to the international standards for Information Security ISO27001. We endeavour to ensure that our suppliers take similar steps to keep your data secure. We take organisational measures to keep information secure and provide regular training for staff on data protection.
However, we understand that even the best laid plans can sometimes go wrong, and therefore we have developed and rehearsed a breach management process. In the unlikely event that we, or one of our partners or suppliers, accidently compromise the confidentiality, integrity or availability of your data, then we will endeavour to notify you within 72 hours of becoming aware of the incident. We will do this by informing you via the contact details that we have recorded on our CRM database.

- To share newsletters, promotional detail, industry news or other information that maybe of interest to you
- To help us improve our services
- For the administration of our website and customer interactions
- For any legal guidance in the provision of our services
A list of current sub-processor categories is available to parties with whom we have contracts to protect confidentiality. For full details of the third party suppliers we use, please contact us at the address below.
Access to your personal information is only allowed when required by the law or is required as part our fulfilling our service obligations. We do not, and will never, sell your personal information with other third parties.
Sharing data with any organisations other than our partners or suppliers
