THE LEGAL PART
In order for us to process personal data we must have a lawful purpose for doing so. This is outlined below.
LEGITIATE INTEREST
When you provide your personal details to us we use your information for our legitimate business interests. Before doing this, we will carefully consider and balance any potential impact on you and your rights. The following are some examples of when and why we would use this approach.
Direct Marketing: We may send Direct marketing via email but we will make sure our direct marketing is relevant to you and where possible tailored to your interests.
Ordering online: In order for us to process a booking, payment details are taken and contact information collected, such as name, address, telephone number and email address. Our payment gateway is Stripe and their Privacy Policy can be read at the following link - https://stripe.com/gb/privacy

Due Diligence: We may need to conduct investigations on potential customers and business partners to determine if those companies and individuals have been involved or convicted of offences such as fraud, bribery and corruption. Any communication we send in this manner will give you the opportunity to unsubscribe very easily.
