3.0 Personal Information That This Website Collects and Why We Collect It
This website collects and uses personal information for the following reasons:
3.1 Site visitation tracking
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 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 5.0 below).
GA makes use of cookies, details of which can be found on Google’s developer guides.
Disabling cookies on your internet browser will stop GA from tracking any part of your visit to pages within this website.
3.2 Data Retention. The Google Analytics Data Retention controls give us the ability to set the amount of time before user-level and event-level data stored by Google Analytics is automatically deleted from Analytics’ servers. Currently we have this set to the minimum amount of time allowed which is 14 months. When data reaches the end of the retention period, it is deleted automatically on a monthly basis. These settings will take effect from May 25, 2018.
3.3 Email Link
Should you choose to contact us using the email link on this site, 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 5.0.
Internet email is not a secure medium of communication; it can be intercepted and read. Do not use it to say anything you would not wish to be made public. If you are sending confidential information by email this should be sent using password protected attachments.
