Handling Your Information

Keeping Your Information Secure

Any of personal information that you have provided to us (your name, email address, phone numbers and any other information) will be gathered, transported securely and held securely by us.

Keeping You Informed

If you have opted in to receive further information about our products or services, we will communicate with you about the services that we provide, additional services provided by us and other news which may be of interest to you.

Google Analytics

When someone visits our website, we use a third-party service called Google Analytics to collect information about visitor behaviour patterns. We do this so we can understand how visitors make use of the website and so we can improve its content and flow.

The information is available to us in only an aggregated format and we are not able to identify any individuals from the data that Google Analytics collects. Since the implementation of GDPR in May 2018, we have made sure that the IP address (the unique identifier of the PC, laptop, tablet or mobile that you are using) is anonymised so Google are not able to identify individuals to aggregate your online behaviour patterns.

For more information please visit www.google.com/analytics/.

Comments

When visitors leave comments on the site we collect the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection.

An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.
