Wavelength PR is committed to protecting your personal information and being transparent about what we do with it.

As someone who has previously or currently worked with Wavelength PR, we hold information about you that is called ‘personal data’. This is information from which you can be identified, such as email addresses and phone numbers. Before we can obtain and use any of your personal data we must make you aware of the following information.
This Privacy Policy has been updated in line with new GDPR regulations, which govern how businesses store and act upon personal data. You may already have had many emails from organisations regarding newsletters, as everyone will now need to opt-in to receive marketing materials from companies in the future as a result of the new regulations.
However, these regulations go further in that companies also have to obtain permission to hold and utilise data, particularly personal data. Here is some information on the data that we currently hold for you:

We will continue to retain your personal data permanently, as long as you agree that we can do this.
