GDPR and You.

General Data Protection Regulation compliance is mandatory from May 25th 2018. The GDPR will replace a prior European Union privacy directive known as Directive 95/46/EC, which has been the basis of European data protection law since 1995. It is a tightening of how your personal data can be stored, processed and safeguarded. All organisations who store personal data must comply with GDPR - expect to receive related e-mails from any organisations, newsletters or groups that you belong to.

If you are on my mailing list or enrolled in an on-line course I hold the following information about you  - your e-mail address - your name (or user name).

This information is stored remotely with my newsletter publisher who also have access to your IP address and time stamps (when you open or click on a newsletter or link). This company is Mailchimp who have a very tight privacy shield and you can be sure your details are secure.

If you are a a Facebook follower or friend I have access to the information you have allowed in your privacy settings.

If you are enrolled in an on-line course I may have your telephone number, Skype (or other) contact details - these are stored on a private computer.

If you are a collector of my work I will hold your postal address - stored on a private computer.

I do not share client information with any other organisations and your data is never used via a public computer.
