What information do we collect?

Information may be collected when you use certain components of this website. Our own server – like all web servers – logs your visit including your Internet Protocol (IP) address and date and time of visit. All data is kept within the United Kingdom, and we never share this information with anyone unless compelled to do so by law.

We may collect, store and use the following kinds of personal data:

1. Information about your computer and about your visits to and use of this website (including your IP address, geographical location, browser type, referral source, length of visit, pages viewed and activity on each page);
2. Should you send us an email via the contact form, your name, email address and message will be emailed to us (as you would expect). This information is kept private; your details will not be passed on to any third party. We will store this information within our own email system so that we are able to respond to you. Your details will not be added to our newsletter circulation list unless you stipulate that you would specifically like to receive communication from us on anything other than the initial enquiry you made.
3. Should you comment on a blog post on this site, then your name, email address, IP address and message will be stored in our website database (as you would expect). This makes your name, website address and comment (but not your email address) viewable by the general public on the website.
4. If you sign up to receive our newsletter, your name and email address will be added to a newsletter system database. You may opt-out of our emails at any time. An ‘unsubscribe’ link is included in all of our email newsletters.
