Not the usual blog post about our life in the Welsh Hills... but a quick message to let all our subscribers know that we take data collection and storage seriously.
You have no doubt received hundreds of emails about General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) already and whilst we do not want to add to these (we have at least included a pretty picture of our Welsh Poppies so this message is not sent in vain!), as we run a blog with subscribers, we need to comply with the new regulation that has come into force this week. Our Privacy Policy explains how we collect, store and manage your personal data. Please rest assured that we do not pass on - or sell - your email address to anyone who may want to use it for their own marketing purposes. We cannot quite believe that we're even writing this but compliance with the law and your trust are important to us.
You need not do anything unless you want to unsubscribe from these blog posts, in which case you are free to do so at any time. That option is included at the bottom of each email we send you when we publish a new blog post.
We hope you will stay with us, however, so we can continue to share with you our story filled with the highs and lows of smallholding life in the hills of Mid-Wales.
Maryline and Peter
