For users in the European Union (EU) we adhere to Regulation (EU) 2016/679 of the European Parliament and the Council of 27 April 2016, known as the General Data Protection Regulation (the “GDPR”), which protects EU individuals' fundamental rights and freedoms, particularly their right to protection of their personal data.

Processing of your personal data

Under the GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) we control and / or process any personal information about you electronically.  

We have not appointed a Data Protection Officer (“DPO”) as we do not fall within the categories of controllers and processor required to appoint a DPO under Article 37 of the GDPR.

We are exempt from registration in the ICO Data Protection Register (‘DPR’) because we handle personal data only for core business purposes of staff administration, marketing and PR, and accounts and record keeping.  Whilst we are exempt from ICO DPR registration, we will handle subject access requests in accordance with the GDPR.
