GDPR : CHANGES TO PRIVACY POLICY

 

As a valued client of Westland Autos, we wanted to let you know about an upcoming change to the General Data Protection Regulation on 25th May 2018. The new law allows you to have more control over your personal data, deciding who contacts you and how they do it.

 

All of this is not only good news for you, it’s good news for us, too.  We don’t want you to miss out on finding out about important news affecting you and your vehicle that are relevant to you; likewise, we don’t want to annoy our customers with information that isn’t relevant to them.

We’d love to stay in touch.  We only use your data to provide information and services you are interested in, and we respect your privacy. You can read our current privacy policy at www.westlandautos.co.uk .  We always respect the privacy of your data and will continue to review our processes and procedures to ensure compliance with GDPR.

 

If you are happy to continue to receive marketing communications including useful newsletters, promotional offers and timely MOT and service reminders, then no further action is necessary. Should you wish to unsubscribe from these communications, simply inform us via email at admin@westland-autos.co.uk .

 

We'd like to take this opportunity to thank you for your continued loyalty with Westland Autos and look forward to working with you in the future.
