Who We Are

This website (3DWake.co.uk) is operated by David Wakelin and Bethany Wakelin, sole trader and partner of 3DWake. David Wakelin is the data controller responsible for how your personal information is processed when you use this site.

Where the website links to external services or platforms, those services will have their own privacy policies, which I encourage you to read separately.
