This practice is standard on the Internet. If you follow a link to any of these websites, please note that these websites have their own privacy policies and that I do not accept any responsibility or liability for these policies.

I make no undertaking or warranty about how or where your data may be stored by third parties with whom you may choose to engage via my website, and to whom you may supply personal data, or request that I supply personal data.

Where I collect and store personal data it will be held on servers located within the European Economic Area (EEA). I do not transfer your personal data outside of the EEA.

I will retain information about you for the period necessary to fulfil the purposes for which the information was collected. After that, I will delete it.

In the absence of a specific legal or regulatory requirement I will retain your information for six years following the event to which it relates (e.g. the specific sale, the specific competition, etc). I may be required to extend the retention period if the information is required due a complaint or because it is required for litigation. Please also note that I am sometimes legally obliged to retain the information, for example, for tax and accounting purposes.
