On 25 May 2018, certain legal changes will come into effect concerning data protection and privacy.
 
Under the General Data Protection Regulation (or GDPR as it is more commonly known), we are required, as are all businesses that hold any personal data for EU customers and/or subscribers, to provide you with certain information in relation to the lawful grounds for our ongoing processing of your personal data.
 
In order to fulfill that obligation, we have put together a new privacy policy that clearly sets out how we collect and process your personal data, for what purposes we use your data, the legal grounds of processing such data, how we keep your data secure, and your rights in relation to such data.

 
Please read our privacy policy here. This email serves as notice that if you choose to continue to do business with us, interact with our websites, or subscribe to our newsletter, you agree to the terms of this privacy policy.

Soon you will also see positive opt-in messages asking you to agree to our privacy policy when you log into our classroom, forum, and gallery sites. These notices will only be presented to you again if we make updates to our privacy policy or if you clear your browser cache.

In relation to our direct marketing communications sent by email, in the past you have previously opted in to receive such communications. We work hard to create content that we hope will be of value to you, but if you don’t think it's awesome, you can opt out of our emails at any time by clicking on the unsubscribe link at the bottom of every email.
