Newsletter Sign-Up Terms & Conditions

 

1. Data Controller

We collect and manage your personal data as the data controller, in compliance with the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018 (DPA 2018).

 

2. Lawful Basis & Consent

Your email address is collected on the basis of your explicit consent, which must be freely given and clearly separate from other terms. Pre‑ticked boxes or bundled agreements are not valid consent. You must actively opt-in to receive our newsletter.

 

3. Purpose of Processing

We process your email address solely to send newsletters you have opted into. We will not use your contact details for any other purpose unless you give further, separate consent.

 

4. Consent Records

We keep detailed records of when and how your consent was obtained to ensure accountability and facilitate your rights under GDPR.

 

5. Withdrawing Consent

You have the right to withdraw your consent at any time. Unsubscribing is easy and can be done via the link included in every newsletter or by contacting us directly.

 

6. Data Minimisation & Retention

We collect only the minimum personal data necessary (your email address). We retain your data only as long as you remain subscribed or as required by law.

 

7. Security

Your personal information is stored securely. We follow industry best practices to protect it from unauthorised access, alteration, or disclosure.

 

8. Third-Party Processors

Your email address may be processed by our trusted third-party email service provider (e.g., Mailchimp). This transfer is based on your consent and kept to a minimum.

 

9. Your Rights

Under UK GDPR, you have the right to:

 

• Access the personal information we hold about you.

• Request corrections.

• Request deletion (right to be forgotten).

• Obtain a copy of your data in a portable format.
