We collect some data from you directly when you contact us via our website, social media, email or telephone. This data can include:

  • Full Name
  • Job Title (if relevant)
  • Company Name (if relevant)
  • Telephone Number
  • Email address
  • Postal address
  • Information about you relating to potential commissions

In the first instance, we use the data collected for the purpose of assisting with your enquiry or fulfilling any orders you might place. But, with your consent, we will also (from time to time) use it to inform you of company news, that we think you might find interesting (more on this below). Rest assured that we do not rent or trade email lists with other organisations or businesses.

Our Social Media Channels

We collect information publicly available on social networking sites such as Twitter, Facebook and Instagram such as likes, shares, clicks and posts relating to our company. This data is usually anonymised directly at source.

Our Newsletters

We provide you the opportunity to sign up to our mailing list. As part of this process, we collect personal information from you. We only send out a handful of newsletters per year and the purpose of them is to inform you about our upcoming events and new work you might be interested in.

We use a provider called MailChimp to deliver our newsletters. We gather statistics about email opening, clicks and delivery of our emails using industry standard techniques to help us keep our newsletters interesting for their readers. You can see Mailchimp’s own Privacy Policy for more information here: https://mailchimp.com/legal/privacy/
