Changes made to Admin Pages to conform with the new General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR). Essentially nothing much changes as we only hold and display information about you that you have given us permission to so do. We do not require you to login hence we do not actively collect other data from you nor do we routinely pass any given data on to 3rd Parties without good reason. We believe this accords with the regulation.
