Privacy Policy

1. GDPR Compliance

The thrilling world of legal acronyms

From 25 May 2018, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) came into effect, and has since been incorporated into UK law as the UK GDPR and supplemented by the Data Protection Act 2018. This legislation is designed to protect individuals’ privacy and prevent unsolicited marketing without explicit consent.

We comply by requesting permission before storing names and email addresses (such as through contact forms). Your details are used only to respond to enquiries and are never sold or shared with third parties.

We retain data for 12 months unless a business relationship is formed-in which case records required by accounting law (specifically for retaining financial information under the Companies Act 2006) are kept for six years. You can request deletion of your data at any time, unless required by law to keep it.

Under the UK GDPR, you have several important rights regarding the personal data we hold about you. We are committed to upholding these rights:

The Right to Access: You have the right to request copies of your personal data.

The Right to Rectification: You have the right to request that we correct any information you believe is inaccurate or incomplete.

The Right to Erasure (Right to be Forgotten): You have the right to request that we erase your personal data, under certain conditions, such as when the data is no longer necessary for the purpose for which it was collected.

The Right to Restrict Processing: You have the right to request that we restrict the processing of your personal data, under certain conditions (e.g., if you contest the accuracy of the data).

The Right to Data Portability: You have the right to request that we transfer the data we have collected to another organisation, or directly to you, under certain conditions.

The Right to Object to Processing: You have the right to object to our processing of your personal data, under certain conditions.

The Right to Complain: You have the right to lodge a complaint with the supervisory authority, the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO), about our processing of your personal data.
