Privacy Policy
As you may know, data privacy law is changing and a new regulation came into effect on 25th May 2018.
The new law is built around the data protection principle of transparency, something that has always been part of my ethos. So, to help you understand how you can control your data, I’ve detailed exactly what I collect, how I use it and why in the Privacy Policy detailed below.
I want to be completely transparent about why I need the personal details I request when you engage with In Touch and how I will use them.
As you browse my website and whenever you communicate with me, I collect information. I am committed to protecting the privacy and security of your personal information and will always take all reasonable steps within our power to make sure your information is safe.
By providing me with your personal information, you consent to the collection and use of any information you provide in accordance with this privacy policy.
Data Protection Principles
I comply with the principles of data protection law. This says that the personal information I hold about you must be:
- Used lawfully, fairly and in a transparent way.
- Collected only for valid purposes that I have clearly explained to you and not used in any way that is incompatible with those purposes.
- Relevant to the purposes I have told you about and limited only to those purposes.
- Accurate and kept up to date.
- Kept only as long as necessary for the purposes I have told you about.
- Kept securely.
For the purpose of the General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR) the data controller is Kay Scott, In Touch, 3 Sweets Cottages, Rectory Lane, Stoke Fleming TQ6 0QB
