On 25th May 2018 data protection regulations changed to give people more rights concerning their personal data held or used by organisations. You may have heard the new regulations referred to as GDPR – General Data Protection Regulation. In accordance with GDPR, BOTH will not hold any person’s data unless they have specifically agreed that we may do so. If you wish your details to be amended or removed from our system please let us know and we will do so.
