Information we collect
We collect two broad categories of information:
- Usage data: When you visit our website, our analytics tools automatically collect non-personally identifiable information such as your approximate location (country or city level), browser type, device type, pages visited, time spent on pages, and referring URL. This data is aggregated and does not identify you as an individual.
- Contact data: If you send us an email, we collect the information you provide in that message, including your name, email address, and any other details you choose to share.
How we use your information
We use the information we collect for the following purposes:
- To understand how our content is used and to improve the quality and relevance of the information we publish.
- To respond to your enquiries, feedback, or correction requests.
- To monitor site performance and diagnose technical issues.
- To ensure the security and integrity of our website.
Legal basis for processing
We process usage data on the basis of our legitimate interest in operating and improving a professional information resource. We process contact data on the basis of your consent, given when you choose to email us. You may withdraw that consent at any time by requesting that we delete your contact information.
Cookies and analytics
This website uses cookies and similar technologies to collect usage data. We use analytics tools (such as Google Analytics or a privacy-focused equivalent) to help us understand site traffic. These tools may set cookies on your device. We do not use advertising or third-party tracking cookies. For full details on the cookies we use and how to control them, please refer to our cookies policy.
Sharing of information
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information. We may share limited data with trusted third-party service providers (for example, our analytics provider) solely to operate this website. These providers are contractually required to keep your information secure and to use it only for the purposes we specify. We may also disclose information if required to do so by law or to protect the rights and safety of our team or the public.
Data retention
Aggregated analytics data is retained for as long as it remains useful for improving our content and site performance, typically up to 26 months before being reviewed or deleted. Contact data (emails and related correspondence) is retained for as long as necessary to resolve your enquiry and for a reasonable period afterwards, generally no longer than 24 months. You may request deletion of your contact data at any time.
Your rights
You have the right to:
- Request access to the personal information we hold about you.
- Request correction of inaccurate or incomplete information.
- Request deletion of your personal information, subject to any legal obligations we may have to retain it.
- Object to or restrict certain types of processing.
- Withdraw consent where processing is based on consent.
To exercise any of these rights, please contact us using the details on our contact page.
Security
We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect your information from unauthorised access, loss, or misuse. However, no data transmission over the internet can be guaranteed to be completely secure. You provide information at your own risk.
Changes to this policy
We may update this privacy policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or applicable requirements. We will post any updated version on this page with a revised date. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
