Data Retention & Protection Policy
This policy aims to inform you about how we collect and process any information that we collect from you, or that you provide to us. It covers information that could identify you (“personal information”) and information that could not. We do this in the context and in compliance with Data Protection Act 2012 (DPA Act 843).
We are committed to protecting your data and the confidentiality of your personal information.
We undertake to preserve the confidentiality of all information you provide to us and hope that you reciprocate.
The Data Protection Act 2012 requires us to tell you about your rights and our obligations to you in regard to the processing and control of your personal data.
Except as set out below or in our terms of condition, we do not share, or sell, or disclose to a third party, any information collected through our website, apps and services.
