Privacy Policy And Data Protection Notice
If you have any questions about this policy, or would like to see the information we hold on you, then please contact us using the details on the Contact Us page.
Please review this policy from time to time as it may change in the future.
The information we collect, and why we collect it
On some parts of our site you may be asked to submit personal information about yourself (e.g. your name and email address) in order to receive information from us. By entering your details in the fields requested, you enable us and our service providers to provide you with the information you require. Whenever you provide such personal information, we will treat that information in accordance with this policy.
Also we automatically collect information about your visit to our site, based on the IP address of your computer. The IP address is a unique identifier usually allocated by your ISP. We use this information to measure site usage, and to help us track our users choice of browser, so that we can work to improve the site.
Sharing the information
We will never share or sell individual personal information with anyone without your advance permission or unless ordered to by a court of law. Information submitted to us is available only to employees managing this information for purposes of contacting you or sending you emails based on your request for information and to our contracted service providers for purposes of providing services relating solely to our communications with you.
Cookies
We utilise cookies to improve our site for all visitors and make it easily accessible. We use Google Analytics and other tracking cookies for these purposes and are as unobtrusive into your privacy as possible. If you opt out of allowing all cookies, then sections of our website may not function fully for you.
Measuring our visitors
We measure visitors to our website using Google Analytics. This records what pages you view within our site, how you arrived at our site and some basic information about your computer. All of that information is anonymous – so we don’t know who you are; just that somebody visited our site.
The information we collect from analytics helps us understand what parts of our sites are doing well, how people arrive at our site and so on. Like most websites, we use this information to make our website better.
You can learn more about Google Analytics or opt out if you wish
Facebook, Twitter and other social networks
These services provide social buttons and similar features which we use on our website – such as the “Like” and “Tweet” buttons.
To do so we embed code that they provide and we do not control ourselves. To function their buttons generally know if you’re logged in; for example Facebook use this to say “x of your friends like this”. We do not have any access to that information, nor can we control how those networks use it.
Social networks therefore could know that you’re viewing this website, if you use their services (that isn’t to say they do, but their policies may change). As our website is remarkably inoffensive we imagine this is not a concern for most users.
Location of the information
The information will be held within the European Union.
If you have any questions about this policy, or would like to see the information we hold on you, then please contact us using the details on the Contact Us page.
