Currently, we do not store any of your personal details or data for direct marketing purposes and do not store your information within any 3rd party direct marketing tool or internal CRM database. However, should we at any time decide to build such a list, it will only be formed from an ‘opt-in’ basis and will not be built from existing, legitimate but non-marketing lists. If at any time you want clarity of our marketing data strategy, please contact mark@fortytwo.studio.
How we keep your data safe and who has access.
We ensure that there are appropriate technical controls in place to protect your personal details; for example our network is protected and routinely monitored.
We undertake regular reviews of who has access to information that we hold to ensure that your information is only accessible by appropriately trained staff and contractors.
We sometimes use external companies and software packages, such as email service providers, accountancy systems and databases, to store or process personal data. These include Google Suite, Passpack, Teamwork, Gather Content, and FreeAgent. We use these recognised partners and companies who adhere to privacy regulations and each has data processing agreements in place that sets out how they handle your data.
We’d like to reassure you that we have not and will not retain your information in an unauthorised way nor share, sell or pass on your details to any other 3rd party for the purposes of marketing. We will only ever share your data in other circumstances if we have your explicit and informed consent.

We will only hold your information for as long as is necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected. From time to time we may ask you to update your details or re-subscribe to our contact list.
