Privacy Policy

This page explains, in plain terms, what happens to your information when you visit this website. We want you to feel comfortable browsing here, so we have kept things short and straightforward. Please read it alongside our Terms of Use, which set out the wider rules for using the site.

What we collect

We collect only what we need to run the site well. This 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 pages you view, how long you stay, the type of device you use and your general location (country or region, never your exact address).

How we use it

Your information helps us reply to your questions, understand which pages are useful, fix problems and improve what we publish. We do not sell your personal details, and we will never use them for anything you would not reasonably expect.

Cookies

Cookies are small files saved on your device that help a website remember you. We use them to keep the site working smoothly, remember your preferences and count visits. You can block or delete cookies at any time through your browser settings, though some parts of the site may not work quite as intended afterwards.

Sharing with others

We may share limited information with trusted service providers who help us host the site or measure visitor numbers. They may only use it to carry out that work for us. Some pages also contain links to other websites; once you leave this site, their own privacy rules apply, so it is worth checking them.

We will also share information if the law requires it.

Keeping your data safe

We use sensible security measures, including encrypted connections and restricted access, to protect what you share with us. No online system is completely risk-free, but we work to keep your details secure and hold them only for as long as they are needed.

Your rights

You can ask us to:

• show you the information we hold about you;
• correct anything that is wrong;
• delete your details;
• stop using your information for certain purposes.

We will respond to any request within a reasonable time.

Changes to this policy

We may update this page from time to time, for example when the law changes or we add new features. The latest version will always appear here, so checking back now and then is a good idea.
