The data that you submit via the form on this site (including your name, email address and telephone number) will be stored on our secure mail server, as well as on our local servers/hard drives in our CRM software application. Our secure web server hosted by Pinkeye Graphics only stores data very briefly as email in transit.

When you fill in and submit the contact form on this site, we may contact you to ask for your consent to add your name to an email list for our own marketing purposes. If you consent to this, your data may be stored on our systems, on Cloud storage systems, or by third party Cloud service providers such as Mail Chimp.
Contacting us by email or telephone
If you contact us in the first instance by email or telephone, we may request your basic personal information such as name, email address and telephone number to keep a record of your enquiry and to prepare for the possibility of doing business with you.

If you become a client (you enter into a contractual agreement with us to carry out work on your behalf), we may ask you for further information. Generally, this will not involve any personal data, though it may include your home address if your business operates from home.
