This page explains our privacy policy and how we will use and protect any information about you that you give us when you visit this website.

General Data Protection Regulation Act

We have a legal duty to protect any information we collect from you. We use leading technologies and encryption software to safeguard your data, and keep strict security standards to prevent any unauthorised access to it.

We do not pass on your details to any third parties unless you give us permission to do so.
