EU data protection laws (the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) came into force on 25 May 2018. It replaces the Data Protection Act 1998 in the UK.

It also modernises and unifies rules allowing businesses to increase transparency and to benefit from greater consumer trust. The GDPR applies to ‘personal data’, which means any information relating to an identifiable person who can be directly or indirectly identified in particular by reference to an identifier.

We believe ensuring the security of your personal information is an important part of our job, and we strive to protect any personal information you may provide to us. We will never lend or sell your personal information for any purpose at any time. By using our site, you consent to our privacy policy.
