If your email service does not support encryption, you should be aware that any emails we send or receive may not be protected in transit.

Data security and sharing:
- We sometimes need to share the personal information we process with the individual themself and also with other organisations.
- We continually consider our own data management and where appropriate update our records and processes to keep personal data we hold and manage, safe and secure. This includes reviewing those we work with, such as domain name registration companies, Website hosting companies (servers), programmers, designers, software and hardware providers, our accountant etc. All work to consider and protect private and other data.
- We do not sell or otherwise share data to anybody that is not directly required to deliver the services for which the data was provided.

Data retention:
- Where we have personal data, such as, but not limited to, that of individuals in the organisations we deal with, we assume (implied consent) acceptance of our need to hold this information for so long as we are dealing with these organisations. If we stop dealing with these organisations, we will only retain information required by statute, such as for our company tax returns.
Data breach – GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation)
- We fully understand that GDPR requires that we announce, to those effected breaches within 72 hours of discovering them.

- You are entitled to ask for any data we hold on you, to be deleted, but please take note that we are entitled to hold personal data where we have a sensible, legal and contractual reason, such as the ability to send out an invoice or complete our tax returns.
