You will be notified about data breaches when Stratford Advice Arcade believes you are likely to be at risk or serious harm.

As such, we do not currently respond to DNT browser signals or any other mechanism that automatically communicates your choice not to be tracked online. If a standard for online tracking is adopted that we must follow in the future, we will inform you about that practice in a revised version of this privacy policy.
