NEW DATA PROTECTION REGULATION PRIVACY NOTICE

What does it mean for you?

The new General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) comes into effect from 25 May 2018.

This doesn’t mean we’ll start to send you direct marketing if you’ve previously told us you don’t want to hear from us, as we’ll only contact you according to your preferences.
