This information does not identify you personally. We automatically collect and store only the following information about your visit:

The information that you provide on Garvald Edinburgh’s website will be used only for its intended purpose, except as required by law or if pertinent to criminal investigations or proceedings.

When sending us an Enquiry or Email:

By sending us an Enquiry or electronic mail (e-mail) message, you may be sending us personal information such as your name, address, e-mail address and other associated information. We may store this information supplied by the requester in order to respond to your request or otherwise reply to the subject of the enquiry or e-mail. Remember that e-mail is not necessarily secure against interception. If your communication is very sensitive you might want to send it by postal mail instead.
