PRIVACY NOTICE
Data Protection Law in the UK and EU will change on 25 May 2018. This notice sets out your rights as a client of Happy Raspberry Ltd, or as a visitor to our website, under the new law.
This privacy notice tells clients and potential clients what to expect when Happy Raspberry Ltd collects, uses, retains and discloses personal information.

There may be situations where Happy Raspberry Ltd processes data on the instruction of another organisation (known as acting as a “data processor”), but in those circumstances our use of data would be governed by that organisation.
