What information do we collect?
We collect the following information from you when you subscribe to our newsletter.

Subject Access Requests
Should you send us a Subject Access Request we are obliged to provide you with what personally identifiable information we hold. In our case, this will only be the email address, your first name and your last name and will be supplied from our Mailchimp newsletter system. For the purposes of the General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR), we have 1 months notice to provide this information to you.
The main website does not hold personally identifiable information, except where used for administration login purposes.
Data Breaches
The GDPR places a duty on all organisations to report specific types of data breach to the ICO, and in some cases, to individuals.
We will only have to notify the ICO of a breach where it is likely to result in a risk to the rights and freedoms of individuals.
