COMMITTED TO YOUR PRIVACY


This privacy policy (the “Policy”) is issued to all our valued customers and guests of Angela Foulds Ltd (“us”, “we”, “our” or “ours”), in accordance with the Data Protection Act 2018 (the “Act”).

We take our responsibilities under the Act seriously. We recognise the importance of the personal data entrusted to us and believe that it is our responsibility to properly manage, protect and process your personal data.

Please take a moment to read our Policy so that you know and understand the purposes for which we collect, hold, process, use, transfer and disclose your personal data under the Act.

If you have any questions or concerns about our privacy practices, we welcome you to contact us by email at angela@angelafoulds.com  If we cannot or do not sufficiently address your concerns about how we manage your personal data, you should contact the relevant supervisory authority in the UK, the Information Commissioner’s Office here.
