This Policy was last updated in early May 2018 in line with the General Data Protection Regulation (‘GDPR’, the ‘Regulation’) that is due to take effect from 25th May 2018. The Regulation sets out more rights for individuals and greater transparency in how personal data is processed by Data Controllers and Data Processors, such as consent, distribution, marketing and deletion.
