As you may be aware, on May 25, 2018, the new General Data Protection Regulation came into effect across the EU. In light of this, I have updated my Privacy Policy to provide more detail and transparency as to how I use your data, including information about your rights to retain control of your personal information. Your trust is important to me, so protecting your personal information is a top priority. If you would like to learn more about how I collect and use data, please take a look at my privacy policy:
