Privacy Policy
Last updated: 01/10/2020
INTRODUCTION
In the UK & EU, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) replaced the Data Protection Act 1998, which was brought into law as a way to implement the 1995 EU Data Protection Directive. GDPR seeks to give people more control over how businesses can collect, keep and use information about you. GDPR makes it clear that people can have their data deleted at any time if it´s not relevant anymore – i.e. the company storing it no longer needs it for the purpose they collected it for. The new EU Regulations took effect on 25th May 2018.
By providing us with your data, you warrant to us that you are over 13 years of age.
