I will not share any of your data with any third parties for any purposes. However, I may sometimes contract with third parties to supply services to you on my behalf. These may include payment processing, delivery of goods, search engine facilities, advertising, and marketing.

Where any of your data is required for such a purpose, I will take all reasonable steps to ensure that your data will be handled safely, securely, and in accordance with your rights, my obligations, and the obligations of the third party under the law.
I may compile statistics about the use of my website including data on traffic, usage patterns, user numbers, sales, and other information.

What Happens If My Business Changes Hands?
I may, from time to time, expand or reduce my business and this may involve the sale and/or the transfer of control of all or part of my business.

How Can You Control Your Data?
When you submit personal data via my website, you may be given options to restrict my use of your data. In particular, I aim to give you strong controls on my use of your data (including the ability to opt-out of receiving emails from me which you may do by unsubscribing and at the point of providing your details).
Your Right to Withhold Information
You may access certain areas of my website without providing any data at all. However, to use all features and functions available on my site you may be required to submit or allow for the collection of certain data. You may restrict my use of Cookies.
How Can You Access Your Data?
If you want to know what personal data, I have about you, you can ask me for details of that personal data and for a copy of it (where any such personal data is held). This is known as a “subject access request”.
All subject access requests should be made in writing and sent to the email or postal addresses shown on my website.
There is not normally any charge for a subject access request. If your request is ‘manifestly unfounded or excessive’ (for example, if you make repetitive requests) a fee may be charged to cover my administrative costs in responding.
I will respond to your subject access request within 30 days, in any case, not more than one month of receiving it. Normally, I aim to provide a complete response, including a copy of your personal data within that time. In some cases, however, particularly if your request is more complex, more time may be required up to a maximum of three months from the date I receive your request. You will be kept fully informed of my progress.
