Our Data Protection Policy recognises two kinds of personal data that deserve different levels of protection:

• Personally-Identifiable Information includes, for example, e-mail addresses, billing information, employment status and 'click stream' data that tracks visitor activity on a Web site or online service.
  
• A subset of that category, Sensitive Data, deserves additional safeguards. Sensitive Data includes, by way of example, Clients’ confidential data, individuals’ home telephone numbers, Bank Account, Income Tax and National Insurance numbers, interview notes, CV’s, etc. If your relationship with us includes providing TIMESWITCH UK with Sensitive Data, we will protect that information with extra care. We will not distribute Sensitive Data outside of TIMESWITCH UK , if you so request, and will give you the chance to opt out of sharing this information within our own organisation.
