Your privacy is respected, and Cornwall Geologist will not sell, rent, or trade your personal information. However, Cornwall Geologist may be required to share some of your information in the following cases:

​

• Service Providers: Cornwall Geologist may share your information with trusted third-party service providers (e.g., Wix.com, payment processors, email service providers) to assist with business operations and providing services to you, such as processing payments or sending communications. These third parties are contractually obligated to keep your information confidential and secure.

Cornwall Geologist retains your personal information for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy or as required by law.

Cornwall Geologist takes the security of your personal data seriously, and takes reasonable steps to protect your personal information from unauthorised access, use, or disclosure. However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure, so Cornwall Geologist cannot guarantee absolute security.
