Google Analytics

When someone visits this website I use the third-party web analytics service, Google Analytics, to collect standard internet log information and details of visitor behaviour patterns. I do this to find out information such as the number of visitors to a certain page of this website.

This information is processed in a way which does not identify you as a user and I do not make any attempt to find out the identities of those visiting this website.

Embedded content from other websites

Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.

These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.

How long I retain your data

Unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law, I will only hold your data on my systems for the period necessary to fulfil the purposes outlined in this privacy policy or until you request that the data be deleted.

The information provided to me through the contact form, or via email, will be retained indefinitely. You can request that this personal data be removed at any time.

Users that wish to unsubscribe from a mailing list can do so at any time by clicking on the link at the bottom of an email.

What rights you have over your data

If you have provided information to me through the contact form, or via email, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data I hold about you, including any data you have provided to me. You can also request that I erase any personal data I hold about you. This does not include any data I am obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

How I protect your data

I use well-established secure sites to store and safeguard your data where access to your data is controlled by a secure login and password.

If you suspect any misuse or loss or unauthorised access to your data, please let me know immediately by contacting me via the email address below.

I reserve the right to change this privacy policy as I may deem necessary from time to time or as may be required by law. Any changes will be immediately posted on this website and you are deemed to have accepted the terms of the privacy policy on your first use of this website following the alterations.
