Dear Readers,

As you may be aware, on May 25, 2018, the EU General Data Protection Regulation EU (2016)/679 (GDPR) came into force in all EU member states. The GDPR applies to “personal data,” meaning any information relating to an identifiable person who can be directly or indirectly identified by reference to an identifier. It requires that personal data be processed lawfully, fairly and in a transparent manner, and that personal data be collected for specified and legitimate purposes.

For those who subscribe to my email updates and alerts, I collect email addresses which can include personal data for legitimate interests to process this data to keep you up to date with developments. I do not make any other use of this data.

I respect your personal data and take care to maintain its confidentiality. You have the right to unsubscribe from my e-mail updates and alerts at any time. You can manage your subscriptions by clicking “Subscriber Preferences” in the box at the bottom of this email.

If you have any questions, please email me directly.

Thank you!
