How We Handle Your Information
This Privacy Policy explains, in plain terms, what happens to your information when you visit this website. It sits alongside our Terms of Use, which set out the wider rules for using the site. By continuing to browse, you accept the practices described below.
What We Collect
We keep the information we gather to a minimum. It falls into two groups:
- Details you choose to share, such as your name and email address when you send us a message or sign up for updates.
- Details gathered automatically, such as the type of device and browser you use, the pages you open, how long you stay and the general region you are browsing from.
We do not ask for payment details, and we never knowingly collect information from anyone under 18.
How We Use It
Your information helps us to:
- reply to questions and feedback;
- understand which pages are useful and which need improving;
- keep the site running smoothly and spot misuse;
- send occasional updates, but only if you have asked for them.
Cookies
Cookies are small text files saved by your browser. Some are essential for the site to load properly, while others count visits or remember your preferences. You can block or delete cookies at any time through your browser settings. Turning them off will not stop you reading the site, although a few features may behave differently.
Sharing With Others
We do not sell or rent your personal information. We may pass limited data to trusted service providers, such as hosting or analytics partners, who help us operate the site and must keep it confidential. Some pages link to outside websites; once you leave, their own privacy policies apply, so it is worth reading them. We may also disclose information where the law requires it.
Keeping Data Safe
We use sensible safeguards, including secure connections and restricted access, to protect what we hold. We keep information only for as long as it serves the purpose it was collected for. No online system is completely risk-free, but we take care to reduce the chances of loss or misuse.
Your Rights
You can ask to see the information we hold about you, have it corrected or deleted, object to how it is used, or withdraw consent for updates at any time. You also have the right to complain to your local data protection authority.
Changes to This Policy
We may revise this policy as the site evolves or the law changes. The latest version will always appear on this page, so please check back from time to time.
