In very basic terms I totally respect your personal information and will only ask you for information I actually need from you, and will look after it in the same way I would want mine looked after, keeping it secure! I will only share it with others where I need their help to deliver my service to you (such as my professional printing laboratory who may need your name and address to post your purchases).  Be assured that I will never share your information in any other circumstances –nor will I sell it on elsewhere.

Here are more details:
