We may also receive information about you from third parties with whom we have a business relationship, for example an existing client or associate professional making an introduction.

You may send us, we may ask for, or may be given the following information:

6. Links to other websites

6.1  This privacy policy only applies to information you supply to us and/or to your use of our website. Where our website contains links to other businesses or websites, these are required to have their own privacy policies with which you should make yourself aware if you decide to visit their websites or use their services.
