Every document below is also a PDF on its own. "Open PDF" shows it in your browser straight away. "Save PDF" puts the file on your phone or computer. Each one is generated from the live text, with its version number and the date on the first page, so a copy you save is never quietly out of date.
Privacy notice
What personal data we hold, why, how long for and your rights under the UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018.
Refunds
When we give money back, when we do not and what we do instead, written before anybody needed it.

Equality and diversity
Our commitment under the Equality Act 2010 and what we reject in adverts.

Accessibility statement
The standard we build to, known limitations and how to report a barrier.
Drugs and alcohol
The morning after, medicines from a pharmacy, testing and consent. Written for people who drive, because those two are what catch good drivers, not the drink on the night.
