Contact Forms / Personal Data

Users providing their personal details via the contact form on this site are agreeing to the processing of their data to achieve the stated goal or purpose of their contact. This may require the sharing of data with external parties where outside services are required to fulfil that objective.

By submitting your information you consent to these transfers.

You are entitled to ask us (by letter or e-mail) what personal details of yours are being held or processed, for what purpose and to whom they may be or have been disclosed.
