Information you tell us
We take your privacy as seriously as you do.
When you provide us with contact details on an enquiry form on this website, you are agreeing for us to contact you regarding the question you submitted.
After helping you with your enquiry, we would really like to keep in touch with you regarding offers, promotions and other information that we feel you may find useful. However, we don’t want to keep in touch if you don’t want us to!
On our contact and enquiry forms there is a checkbox which lets you tell us that you’d like us to keep in touch - please tick this box so we can add you to our mailing list. We won’t add you if you do not tick this…we promise…but we won’t be able to get in touch if you don’t.
If you do agree for us to get in touch, when we send you any emails there will always be the option for you to ask to be removed from our mailing list. If you do wish to stop receiving offers, promotions and information from us, please click on the option in the email and we will remove you from our mailing list. We won’t take it personally, but you will no longer receive anything from us.
Regardless of whether you are just enquiring about something or you are on our mailing list, we will NEVER pass your details on to a third party – we find that very rude and will only keep your details to ourselves for as long as they are needed (or if you ask us to chuck them in the bin).
Our Reasons to Process (Use) Your Personal Information – the legal bit
The piece of legislation that defines what your rights are over us processing (using) your personal information is called the “General Data Protection Regulation”, or “GDPR” for short.
This piece of legislation states six “lawful reasons” that would deem processing (using) someone’s personal details as lawful.
Regarding the two ways in which we process (use) your information, here are the “lawful reasons” that we are operating on:
- “Legitimate Interest” – when we use your details to contact you following an enquiry on our website
- “Consent” – when we get in touch because you have agreed to be on our mailing list
