This website, as well as our business and internal computer systems, is designed to comply with the following legislation with regards to data protection and user privacy:
Our website’s compliance with the above stringent legislation means that this site is likely also compliant with the data protection and user privacy legislation set out by many other countries and territories. If you are unsure about whether this site is compliant with your own country of residence’s specific data protection and user privacy legislation you should contact our data protection officer for clarification. (See section 8 below).
This website collects and uses personal information to track user interaction. As with most websites, ours uses Google Analytics. We use this data to determine the number of visitors to our site, to better understand how they find and use our web pages, and to see their journey through the website.
Although Google Analytics records data such as your geographical location, device, internet browser and operating system, none of this information personally identifies you to us. Google Analytics also records your computer’s 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 (see section 5 below).
Google Analytics uses cookies, details of which can be found on Google’s developer guides. Our website uses the analytics.js implementation of Google Analytics. Disabling cookies on your internet browser will stop Google Analytics from tracking any part of your visit to pages within this website.
In addition to Google Analytics, this website may collects information which is held in the public domain, attributed to the IP address of the computer or device that is being used to access it. The information is supplied to us from Whoisvisiting.com. Whoisvisiting.com is a service offered by Whoisdata Limited. The Whoisvisiting system does not use your IP address to identify you, the individual, in any way. No cookies are used by the Whoisvisiting system. The Whoisvisiting system will only lookup information when a static IP address is being used. Differences between a static and dynamic IP address.
More information about how Whoisvisiting uses IP addresses.
Should you choose to contact us using the contact form or an email link, none of the data that you supply will be stored by this website or passed to / be processed by any of the third party data processors defined in section 5. 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 will only use your information to contact you for the purposes of your enquiry and will never share this information with other organisations for any reason.
