My web site may contain links to partners, clients, and other sites of interest to our users although my website does not control the privacy policy or practices of these other sites. You should make sure that you know when you have left my web site and, if the web site you visit collects personal information, that you have read that site’s privacy policy.

Mailing Lists

All mailing lists compiled before May 2018 have been deleted. Any addition to our mailing list will be via an opt in as part of your contact with the studio. The only contact details held will be those provided by you (some/all of the following may be requested – name, address, email address, phone number). The details you provide will only be used to provide the services you’ve undertaken with myself in relation to services offered via my website. The details provided will not be used for any other purpose unless you’ve opted in for marketing purposes in which case you will have accepted that emails will be sent to you with offers etc from the studio. Your data will not be sold or passed on to any third parties (unless legally required to do so).

Contact data will be retained unless you specifically request it’s removal. Contact data (email address, mailing address and phone number) will be removed on request, but historical order data (including but not limited to invoices, order forms, quotes etc) will not be removed.
