Updated May, 2018
The first section below is a revision to our existing privacy policy and deals with how we deal with your data specific to email and other electronic communications with you.
More information is listed further below that relates to your privacy in relation to the use of this website.
SECTION ONE – YOUR DATA WHEN COMMUNICATING WITH US
The new General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)
We value your privacy and are committed to keeping your personal data safe, thus we want to keep you up to date with the new General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) that is enforced from 25th May 2018, that oblige businesses like ours to follow new rules in relation to the holding and processing of any of your personal data held by us.
In order to ensure you that we meet these new rules, we have sought advice from the Information Commissioners Office regarding the necessary steps we have now undertaken.
What information do we collect from you when you communicate with us and how do we keep it safe and make use of it
We only collect basic information, such as your name and contact details. This basic information will only ever be used to allow us to respond to any requests for information that you may have sent us, and/or for the supply of any products you may purchase from us. These details are only held as required to administer our response to your messages to us, or for accounts and billing purposes.
Please note that we never engage in direct marketing at all and thus you will not receive any unsolicited emails or other communications from us unless it is sent by us as result of your direct request to us to send you information.
We will NEVER pass on any of your information to a third party individual or organisation.
How do we protect your basic information?
Since 2012 we have employed the secure services of the G Suite & Google Cloud Platform to securely manage and maintain our customer database. Here is a summary of the expertise and resources Google provides to us in order that they and we are fully compliant with the new GDPR regulations. There is a link below for you to review the commitments that Google provides for GDPF compliance, in relation to the services we engage with Google to manage on our behalf using G Suite and Google Cloud Platform services.

Once again, your data will only ever be used as a means to communicate with you, either by email or by text messaging solely in relation to enquiries you make of us and business that we may do together. We do not engage in any email or SMS sales marketing and thus, will only contact you as a result of you requesting information from us, or having direct business dealings with us.
Your data is held securely, as described above, and will NEVER be shared with any other organisations or individual(s).
Furthermore, all of our email correspondence sent to you will always contain information to give you the opportunity to unsubscribe from our messaging, and provide you with a method that you can request we delete all of your contact and other information that we reasonably hold, in relation to you making initial contact with us when initially requesting information or services from us.
So in order to comply with the new regulations from the 25th May 2018, we ask you to acknowledge how you would like us to proceed, we would be grateful if you would consider the two options below.
