Information that we collect from people who visit our website

If you decide to subscribe to our mailing list you will be asked to enter your email address (otherwise we won’t be able to email the newsletter to you). We will also ask you for your first name so that we can personalise the newsletter – although this is optional.

We don’t share or sell email lists to other organisations.

If you do not want your information tracked you can set up a “Do Not Track” function here.

We will retain your information indefinitely or until you ask us to remove it. You can request that your information is removed at any time.
