Privacy Policy
Privacy Policy, General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) & Cookies
I know in this day and age it’s not easy to read every privacy policy on every website, especially with the new GDPR legislation.
I would just like you to know I take reasonable precautions to protect any personal or sensitive information I have collected whilst working with your business, and I make every effort to work with organisations who do the same. I only collect relevant personal information and never sell or pass on any personal information to third parties.
Below I have endeavoured to simplify my privacy policy in order to make it more transparent and easier to understand. This should cover all the data I collect store and process through this website and through my business. Including cookies, contact and communication, storage, and third parties.
Please contact me if you have any questions or require any further clarification.
