Our Privacy Policy

Statement

GDPR stands for General Data Protection Regulation and replaces the previous Data Protection

Directives that were in place. GDPR states that personal data should be ‘processed fairly & lawfully’ and ‘collected for specified, explicit and legitimate purposes’ and that individuals data is not processed without their knowledge and are only processed with their ‘explicit’ consent.

Please read this Privacy Policy carefully and check it intermittently since it may change from time to time.

This is to ensure that others cannot access your personal information and correspondence if you share a computer with someone else or are using a computer in a public place like a library or Internet café.

Once we receive your transmission, we make our best effort to ensure its security on our systems.
