As you know we have been connected for a while now and hope you have found our regular newsletters and offers of interest.
Like most businesses we are currently very aware of GDPR and the changes that will be taking place on 25th May.
We would really like to keep in touch with our blogs, offers, case studies and reviews and given that you have what the authorities deem to be a 'personal corporate' email address, we believe that we are OK to simply apply the 'soft opt in' rule as we have freely been given your address, you have received many emails from us over a period of time and you have always had the opportunity to opt out.
Going forward our promise to you is:
We hope this is OK with you, if not simply email us to opt out from future emails.
If you do not actively 'opt out' by 25th May we will assume you are OK with the 'soft opt in'.
We look forward to being able to maintain contact with you and hope you will continue to enjoy our informative newsletters.
