d) To send you email alerts and newsletters that you have opted-in to receive by filling in our online forms or contacting us by email or by other means. We also provide the facility to opt-out of receiving such communication on the site and within each such email we send you.

We will not disclose your personal data unless you have consented to this disclosure.

You may inform us of any changes in your personal data and, in accordance with our obligations under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) which came into effect on 25th May 2018 we will update or delete your personal data accordingly.

You have the right to request a copy of any personal data held by us about you. You also have the right to have such data corrected where it is inaccurate or misleading.
