How We Look After Your Data
This page explains, in plain terms, what information this website gathers when you visit, why we need it and what choices you have. It sits alongside our Terms of Use, which set out the wider rules for using the site.
What we collect
We try to keep the information we hold to a minimum. It usually falls into two groups:
- Details you choose to give us. For example, your name and email address when you send us a message or sign up for updates.
- Details gathered automatically. For example, the type of device and browser you use, the pages you open, roughly where in the world you are, and how long you stay.
We do not ask for payment details, and we never knowingly collect information from children.
How we use it
We use your information to reply to questions, send updates you have asked for, spot and fix problems with the site, and understand which pages readers find useful so we can improve them. We will not sell your personal details to anyone.
Cookies
Cookies are small text files saved by your browser. Some keep the site working properly, such as remembering a setting you picked. Others help us count visits and see which pages are popular. You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings at any time, although a few features may then behave differently.
Sharing with others
We only pass information to outside parties when it is needed to run the site, such as hosting, email or visitor-counting services. These providers may only use the data to do that job for us. We may also share details if the law requires it, or to protect the safety of our readers and the site.
Keeping it safe
We use sensible safeguards, including secure connections and limited access, to protect what we hold. No online system is entirely risk-free, but we keep information only as long as it is genuinely useful and then remove it.
Your rights
Under UK data protection law, you can ask to:
- see a copy of the information we hold about you;
- correct anything that is wrong or out of date;
- have your details deleted;
- object to, or limit, how we use them;
- stop receiving emails from us at any time.
If you are unhappy with how we have handled your data, you may also complain to the Information Commissioner's Office.
Updates to this page
We may revise this policy as the site or the law changes. When we do, the new version will appear here, so it is worth checking back from time to time.
