GB Audio – Privacy Policy We’ve made some updates to GB Audio’s Privacy Policy to give you more power over your personal information and to support new European data protection laws. Our new policies came into effect on May 24, 2018. Here are the key updates: 1. We’ve restructured our Privacy Policy to make it clearer for you to understand the data we have, how we use it and your choices. 2. We’ve made it even clearer for you to control the emails you receive from us, and how your information is used. You can check our Privacy Policy online at any time and you can contact us to opt out or change your contact preferences at any time by email or phone. 3. If you have any questions, feel free to contact us by email or phone — we’re happy to help. Revised: August 2022 GB Audio’s mission is to provide customers with a high quality, reliable service with minimum of fuss and hassle. In order to do this we will need to hold some information about you. We also commit to protect your privacy and security online and offline. Our Privacy Policy outlines how we obtain information from you and what we do with it. It also explains the choices you can make to control your privacy when you use GB Audio. Table of Contents |
