Stasher ('we' or 'us') are a 'data controller' for the purposes of the Data Protection Act 1998 and the General Data Protection Regulation 2018 This means we are responsible for, and control the processing of, your personal information.

Our website also uses cookies (see “Use of cookies” section below) and collects IP addresses (which means a number that can uniquely identify a specific computer or other device on the internet).

Our lawful basis for collecting this information is simply to provide you with the best service possible.
