We use this information solely for the purpose of seeing where our visitors are based so that it can assist us with the planning of future releases, events and tours.
Affiliate Disclaimer

Email List
Should you choose, you can join a mailing list via a form on our website. We use Mailchimp for managing the list which is intended for those interested in knowing more about product releases and events. You will never be added to this list without signing up for it yourself and you will also be required to verify your inclusion on this list after signing up (called double opt-in). Every email sent has an unsubscribe button that when clicked will delete your details from our Mailchimp account. Mailchimp have assured us that they do not store any details when using their free service, however we are not responsible for the privacy policies and practises of Mailchimp so if you have any concerns, you can check out their own policies before joining our mailing list.

We give you an option to contact us via this site for customer support issues. Emails come directly to the office computer inbox in order for us to deal with your query and will be deleted after one month. In accordance with GDPR rules a confirmation checkbox is added to the form in order for you to verify that you are happy for us to respond to your concern.
