Scottish Attachment in Action has updated its Privacy Policy, effective May 25, 2018.

We accept our responsibilities to protect and manage data in accordance with accepted standards. Scottish Attachment in Action (SAIA) appreciates the importance of keeping personal information private and protected for everyone associated with the Charity. This includes Members of SAIA; those accessing our service or attending events; SAIA Trustees and Development Team, and all who support the Charity.
