2. What we collect

  • Messages to us. If you email [email protected] we keep your email address, name (if given) and the contents of your message so that we can reply.
  • Website visits. Our hosting providers keep standard technical logs (such as IP address, browser type and the pages requested) for security and reliability. We do not use advertising or analytics cookies. Only cookies strictly needed to run the site, for example for administrators signing in, are used.

3. Why we use it, and our legal basis

  • To respond to you and run the site: our legitimate interests in operating a safe and useful service.

We use service providers (processors) who handle data on our instructions:

  • Hostinger, for website hosting.
  • A mail provider that receives messages sent to our support address.

We do not sell personal data. We may disclose information where the law requires it.

5. International transfers

Some of these providers may process data outside the United Kingdom. Where that happens we rely on the safeguards the provider offers under UK data protection law, such as approved contractual terms.

6. How long we keep it

We keep emails only as long as needed to deal with your enquiry and then delete them in the normal course.

7. Your rights

You can ask us for access to your data, correction, deletion, restriction, a portable copy, or object to certain uses. Email [email protected]. If you are unhappy with how we handle your data you can complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office at ico.org.uk.
