Privacy Policy

You, and your personal integrity are of the utmost importance to us. We would therefore like to inform you about some changes that we are making to the way we handle your personal information.

The purpose of the GDPR is to ensure that companies treat your personal data in a fair and transparent way. Consequently, we have created a new privacy policy that more clearly describes how we handle your personal information. If you have any questions, please contact us at:info@godiamond.co.uk
