Data Protection
We apply the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
GDPR works in two main ways. It gives individuals rights over how their personal information is used and sets out rules for organisations that process personal information.
Our Information Security and Privacy Policy describes how we treat personal information.
Our Cookies policy describes what cookies we use on our website and their purpose.
We collect and use personal information only with the approval of the said persons to offer people information and services. This policy will apply to all forms of information and to all systems used to collect, store, process or transfer information.
iCon is committed to:
- performing privacy impact assessments to protect the privacy and rights of its customers and employees
- protecting the confidentiality, integrity and availability of the information it collects, stores, transfers and processes in accordance with EU law and international good practice, and to meeting its legal requirements and contractual obligations
- explaining why it needs personal information, only asking for the personal information it needs and only sharing personal information within iCon and with other organisations as necessary or where the person concerned has given their consent
- allowing people to request access to the personal information it holds on them
- not keeping personal information for longer than necessary
- ensuring that actual or suspected breaches of information security are reported and investigated
- assessing and measuring the maturity of its information security controls annually
We will provide adequate and appropriate resources to implement this policy and will ensure it is communicated and understood.

In each message we send, you also have the option to opt out.You can ask us to stop sending you marketing information or withdraw your permission at any time. We take all steps to ensure that any information we have is kept secured.
