Privacy Policy

This page explains, in plain terms, what happens to the information you share when you visit this website. We collect as little as possible and use it only for clear, sensible reasons. Please read it alongside our Terms of Use, which set out the wider rules for using the site.

What we collect

• Details you choose to give us: for example, your name and email address if you send us a message or sign up for updates.
• Details gathered automatically: such as your device type, browser, the pages you open and roughly how long you stay.

We never ask for payment card numbers, passwords or identity documents.

How we use it

We use this information to reply to your messages, send updates you have requested, fix technical problems and see which pages readers find most helpful so we can improve them. We do not sell your details to anyone.

Cookies

Cookies are small text files saved by your browser. Some keep the site working properly, while others count visits so we can understand what is useful. You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings at any time, although some features may then work differently.

Sharing with others

We share information only with trusted service providers who help us run the site, such as hosting and visitor-statistics services, and only as much as they need to do that job. We may also share details where the law requires it. Some pages link to other websites, and their own privacy policies apply once you leave ours.

Keeping your data safe

We use secure connections, limit who can access stored information and delete details we no longer need. No online system is completely risk-free, but we take reasonable steps to protect what you share with us.

Your rights

Under UK data protection law, you can ask us to:

• show you the information we hold about you;
• correct anything that is wrong;
• delete your details;
• stop or limit how we use them;
• stop sending you emails, which you can also do using the link in any message.

If you are unhappy with how we handle your information, you also have the right to complain to the UK's data protection regulator.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy when our practices or the law change. Any new version will appear on this page, so it is worth checking back now and then.

Get in touch

If you have a question or want to use any of your rights, email us at [email protected] or reach us through our contact page. We aim to reply within a few working days.
