What is the General Data Protection Regulation and why is it important?

To keep up with the huge amount of digital data being created, rules across the continent have been re-written. GDPR brings outdated personal data laws across the EU up to speed with an increasingly digital era. The previous data protection laws were put in place during the 1990s and haven’t been able to keep pace with the levels of technological change.

General Data Protection Regulation, or GDPR, will overhaul how businesses, charities, NGOs and unions process and handle data. GDPR also boosts the rights of individuals and gives them more control over their information.

What information do we collect about you and why?

We collect information about you when you place an order from our website, or when you sign up to our newsletter. The only information we ever collect from you will be your normal contact details, which enable us to either despatch your orders, or contact you directly using the contact details you provide.

Who might we share your information with?

We will never share your information with any third parties.

How long do we keep hold of your information?
