We are committed to safeguarding the privacy of our website visitors; in this website privacy policy we describe how AVEY of London (“we”, “our”, “us”, “the company”) protects and makes use of the information you give the company when you use this website.

By using this website, you are agreeing to the use of your information as described in this privacy policy and consent to our use of cookies in accordance with the terms of this policy.

Your rights

You have certain rights as a data subject under the General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”), which governs the collection, processing and disposal of personal data by organisations such as ours.

We provide contact details at the end of this policy for you to use if you have any complaint about our processing of your personal data. If you are not satisfied with the way we deal with this issue, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner’s Office (“ICO”), which is the body in charge of supervising personal data use in the UK.

Where you provide sensitive personal information to us voluntarily, your doing so will constitute your explicit consent to us using that information in connection with the purpose for which it has been provided.
