Collection of personal information

The only information I collect about you is the information that you supply yourself through my enquiry form, publicly available data, or email correspondence. Such information will be treated in accordance with the Data Protection Act 1998 and General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR).

I take active steps to protect against viruses, spyware, and other malware. My computer is password protected and only used by me. My mobile devices are pin protected and have anti-virus and Internet security software in place.

How I back up data

All data I store within copywriting documents is backed up automatically to an external encrypted drive every day. The data within these documents is usually destined to be published in the public domain when the copy goes to print or is published online.

How I send data to you
