GDPR and how GBMaps.com processes your data.
Using Our Contact Form
We use your [ name ] to address you properly when communicating with you. We use your [ email address ] to send you a response. And we use your [ question ] to form the basis of a response to send back to you.
We do not sell or pass any of this information to any person or other company outside our own four walls. The details you enter into our web-form will be stored locally on our development computer in a mailbox. We will not bombard you with marketing offers. We may contact you ‘out of the blue’ if we become able to help with your enquiry where we were not able to previously assist. E.g. You require a map of the moon that we currently do not have. In 2 months’ time a map of the moon becomes available to us, we might send you a brief email saying we are now able to help. If you tell us you want no further contact from us at any point, we will not contact you again for any reason.

Unsolicited contact from us to you
When you make a purchase from our website you are entering into a basic form of contract where you tell us who you are and pay us a fee and we supply you with a product or service. Nearly all of our products are delivered digitally online or by email. If we update the product you purchased or find a problem with the product which you are initially unaware of we may get in touch with you by email to inform you of the update or issue. We keep copies of every email we’ve ever sent or received for the purpose of keeping a detailed record of negotiations, orders, amendments and requirements. These are kept securely and only accessible by people within our business.
