Data and Privacy

Privacy Policy

Your privacy is very important to me and so there are some fundamental principles that I follow:

  • I will not ask you for personal information unless I truly need it.
  • I will not share your personal information with anyone except to comply with the law or unless you have specifically given me your consent to do so. However when you ask me to follow up an issue on your behalf, for example, I will need to share personal information with the organisation concerned and with other relevant bodies.

Any personal information you share with me via the website will be stored and processed exclusively in connection with my role as a Member of the House of Keys.

Your details will not be kept for longer than necessary, however this may be for the duration of my term(s) as a Member of Tynwald.

I may update this page and policy from time to time.
