PERSONAL INFORMATION THAT THIS WEBSITE COLLECTS
and why we collect it!
This website collects and uses personal information for the following reasons:
TRACKING SITE VISITS
Like most websites, this site uses Google Analytics (GA) to track user interaction. We use this data to determine the number of people using our site, to better understand how they find and use our web pages and to see their journey through the website.
Although GA records data such as your geographical location, device, internet browser and operating system, none of this information personally identifies you to us. GA also records your computerâs IP address which could be used to personally identify you, but Google do not grant us access to this. We consider Google to be a third-party data processor.
Google Analytics makes use of cookies, details of which can be found on Googleâs developer guides. For your information, our website uses the analytics.js implementation of GA.
Disabling cookies on your internet browser will stop Google Analytics from tracking any part of your visit to pages within this website.
How we use cookies
A cookie is a small file which asks permission to be placed on your computerâs hard drive. Once you agree, the file is added and the cookie helps analyse web traffic or lets you know when you visit a particular site. Cookies allow web applications to respond to you as an individual. The web application can tailor its operations to your needs, likes and dislikes by gathering and remembering information about your preferences. We use traffic log cookies to identify which pages are being used. This helps us analyse data about web page traffic and improve our website in order to tailor it to customer needs. We only use this information for statistical analysis purposes and then the data is removed from the system. Overall, cookies help us provide you with a better website, by enabling us to monitor which pages you find useful and which you do not. A cookie in no way gives us access to your computer or any information about you, other than the data you choose to share with us. You can choose to accept or decline cookies. Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting to decline cookies if you prefer. This may prevent you from taking full advantage of the website.
CONTACT FORMS AND EMAIL LINKS
Should you choose to contact us using the contact form on our contact us page or an email link, none of the data that you supply will be stored by this website or passed to / be processed by any third-party data processor.
Instead, the data will be collated into an email and sent to us over the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP). Our SMTP servers are protected by TLS (sometimes known as SSL) meaning that the email content is encrypted using SHA-2, 256-bit cryptography before being sent across the internet. The email content is then decrypted by our local computers and devices.
We also hold details on our computers relating to the information you provide us with on our contact forms or email links. We do this in order to reply to your enquiry.
If you do not want us to keep any of your details on file please advise us.
We do not exchange, sell, rent or give away your email address or any other details to other companies.
EMAIL NEWSLETTER
If you are signed up to our email newsletter, your email address is forwarded to MailChimp who provide us with email marketing services. We consider MailChimp to be a third party data processor. The email address that you submit will not be stored within this websiteâs own database or in any of our internal computer systems.
Your email address will remain within MailChimpâs database for as long as we continue to use MailChimpâs services for email marketing or until you specifically request removal from the list. You can do this by unsubscribing using the unsubscribe links contained in any email newsletters that we send you or by requesting removal via email. When requesting removal via email, please tell us the email address that is subscribed to the mailing list.
If you are under 16 years of age you MUST obtain parental consent before joining our email newsletter.
While your email address remains within the MailChimp database, you will receive periodic (approximately 8 times a year) newsletter-style emails from us.

We use a number of third parties to process personal data on our behalf. These third parties have been carefully chosen . Both of these third parties are based in the USA and are EU-U.S Privacy Shield compliant.
