This notice describes processing relating to the information we obtain from you and other visitors and customers through a variety of different interactions, including when you visit our websites or social media pages, or contact our team. 

We are a ‘Data Controller’ of your personal information which means we decide what data is collected, for what purpose and how it is processed. It also means we are responsible for that processing, which extends to any third parties we use who may process your information based on our instructions.
