EUROPEAN GENERAL DATA PROTECTION REGULATION (GDPR)

As per Article 30 for the GDPR this website and business are exempt from some the regulations surrounding the handling of private data.

However, this website will strive to ensure that where possible we comply with the stipulations laid out in GDPR.

All private data (email address, IP address, names, telephone etc) are stored on secure computers. No personal data will be given or sold without the express written permission of the user.

You may request to see copies of any personal information held and also request that that information is updated or removed in its entirety. You can do that using the form at the bottom of this page.

Your data is protected with a multi-layered approach to security:

  • “Perimeter Security“ – All of our IT infrastructure is stored in a secure and alarmed location.
  • “Network Security” – All of the IT is further secured using strong password protection, using a mixture of alphanumeric and symbols. All hard drives are encrypted. I ensure all my servers, routers, laptops, desktops, smartphones etc are kept up to date with the relevant security patches and updates by the manufacturer.
  • “Privilege Based” – Only those who need to access your information will be able to access it. I use multiple alphanumeric passwords for access to all of my IT infrastructure. I don't give access to any another person.

Your data is also held securely off-site with further protection provided by my hosting provider, again using the same three methods outlined above.
