Email Information

a) Contacted us via email. In which case your email address and the contents of any messages you have sent us will be stored in our email server. This is managed by Google. This is separate from our mailing list and does not mean you have opted in to receive automated messages from us.
b) You have signed up for our newsletter. In this instance our data controller is Mailchimp and they are the custodians of the data.
If you wish to remove your email address and other data from either of the above all you have to do is ask and we will make sure it’s taken care of with the utmost urgency.
