10.0 CHANGES TO OUR PRIVACY POLICY
This privacy policy may change from time to time inline with legislation or industry
developments. We will not explicitly inform our users of these changes. Instead, we
recommend that you check this page occasionally for any policy changes. Specific
policy changes and updates will be mentioned in the change log below:
Version 1.0 25th May 2018 – New Privacy Policy to be compliant with GDPR
You will only be added to our mailing list if you ‘consent’ to receive news and
marketing emails from us. If you choose to join our email newsletter, the email
address that you submit to us will be forwarded to MailChimp who provide us with
email marketing services. We consider MailChimp  to be a third party data processor
(see section 5.0). The email address that you submit for purposes of newsletter sign
up, will not be stored as hard copy or in any of our internal computer systems and
will never be shared. Your email address will remain within MailChimp’s database for
as long as we continue to use MailChimp’s services for email marketing or until you
specifically request removal from the list. You can do this by easily unsubscribing
using the unsubscribe links contained in any email newsletters that we send you or
by requesting removal via email. When requesting removal via email, please send
your email to us using the email account that is subscribed to the mailing list. We will
also periodically check with you that you still want to hear form us. If you are under
16 years of age you MUST obtain parental consent before joining our email
newsletter. While your email address remains within MailChimp database, you will
receive periodic (approximately monthly) newsletter style emails from us.
If you attend a workshop with REAL you may be recorded on CCTV if the location
has this in operation. If you purchase from me using cash and collect your item on
the day, no personal information will be collected or stored. For made-to-order items
that can’t be collected on the day, I will need to ask you for your name and address
in order to deliver your order. If I’m unable to hand deliver your item, I would need to
pass your name and address to a third party (eg Royal Mail or Courier) in order for
them to deliver your parcel.
