Under the General Data Protection Regulations you have enhanced rights over how your personal data is used, and we aim to fulfil those rights to the highest level.<\/p>\n
This document sets out our Privacy Policy in detail. Because it has to be legally effective it is very detailed. So to make things as clear for you as possible we’ve summarised some of the highlights of our approach to protecting your data here.<\/p>\n
Of course, our summary is intended to simply be a guide to our full policy and in the event of any conflict of meaning between the summary and full policy below, the full policy document takes precedence. Please let us know if you find any such conflicts! We will be glad to rectify them.<\/p>\n

Our website and our organisation are PCI DSS compliant, reviewed annually. Further, our website server’s security is rated A+ by ssllabs.org, the independent security review system.<\/p>\n

Your privacy is very important to us.

Such people and organisations have signed confidentiality agreements.<\/p>\n
