CHANGES TO OUR PRIVACY POLICY
GDPR Changes May 2018
Data protection laws are changing in May 2018
We'd love for you to keep in touch with Speedy Swimming
To ensure you continue receiving information from Speedy Swimming please give your consent at: https://www.speedyswimming.co.uk/subscribe-to-speedy-swimming
A new data protection law comes into force on 25th May 2018. It affects how any company, including Speedy Swimming, can communicate with you.
This means that we now need to ask all new and existing clients on our mailing lists if you still want to hear from us.
If you don’t do anything then, under the new regulations, we will have to assume that you have chosen to ‘opt out’ – that is, you wish to stop receiving communications from Speedy Swimming.
If you would like to keep hearing from Speedy Swimming, you will need to complete the online form listed above or email clearly confirming what information you would like to receive.
Any changes we may make to our privacy policy in the future will be posted on this page and, where appropriate, notified to you by e-mail.
