Changes to this Privacy Notice
In May 2018 the General Data Protection Regulation (GDRP) was brought in following a major legislation review. Prior to this, we at Kirstys Creative Cakes undertook a thorough review of our own Privacy Policy to help show our customers that we take their personal data protection very seriously. In this day and age, when the internet and computers play such a huge role in our life and business, it is vital to know that we are protected. We will continue to review this policy regularly and make changes and updates when we feel it necessary or to keep in-line with current legislation.
Changes to this policy will be published on this page so please check back regularly.
