Privacy Policy

This page explains, in plain terms, what happens to your information when you visit this website. We have kept it short and readable, because you should not need a lawyer to understand how your details are treated. By using the site, you accept the practices described here alongside our Terms of Use.

Information We Collect

We collect two kinds of information:

• 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 type of device and browser you use, the pages you view, how long you stay and the general region you are visiting from.

We do not ask for payment details, and we never knowingly collect information from anyone under 18.

How We Use It

Your information helps us to:

• reply to questions and feedback;
• understand which pages are useful and which need improving;
• keep the site running smoothly and spot misuse;
• send occasional updates, but only if you have asked for them.

Cookies

Cookies are small text files saved on your device. Some are essential for the site to load properly; others count visits or remember your preferences. You can block or delete cookies through your browser settings at any time. Turning off some cookies may stop certain features from working as expected.

Sharing With Others

We do not sell your personal information. We may share limited details with trusted service providers, such as hosting or analytics partners, who help us run the site and must keep your data confidential. We may also disclose information where the law requires it. Some pages link to outside websites; once you leave this site, their own privacy rules apply, so it is worth reading them.

Keeping Your Data Safe

We use sensible safeguards, including secure connections and restricted access, to protect what we hold. We keep information only for as long as it is needed. No system is completely secure, but we take reasonable care and act promptly if something goes wrong.

Your Rights

You may ask to see the information we hold about you, have it corrected, request that it be deleted, or object to how it is used. You can also unsubscribe from emails using the link in any message. If you are unhappy with our response, you can raise a complaint with your local data protection authority.

Updates to This Policy

We may revise this policy from time to time. When we do, the new version will appear on this page, and continuing to use the site means you accept the changes.
