Privacy statement
Hand Drawn Pixels (“we”) promise to protect and respect any personal data you share with us, or that we get from other organisations.

How we collect data from you
When you give it to us DIRECTLY
When we meet at events, you may give us your business card so we can contact you with relevant information in the future. We will always send you a post event email that asks you to confirm you are happy to receive marketing materials from Hand Drawn Pixels . If we don’t get the confirmation you will not be added to our database.
We will hold your data for as long as you are interacting with the content we are sending you. If you stop interacting or request to be removed, you will remain on our database indefinitely on a suppression list so we know never to contact you in the future.
