PERSONAL INFORMATION THAT THIS WEBSITE COLLECTS AND WHY WE COLLECT IT
This website collects and uses personal information for the following reasons:

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.
Google Analytics makes use of cookies, details of which can be found on Google’s developer guides :https://developers.google.com/analytics/devguides/collection/analyticsjs/cookie-usage

2. Our blog/news page
We have disabled the ability for users to add comments on our blog posts by default. We therefore do not collect or store any personal data from our blog.

3. Contact forms and email links

Should you choose to contact us using an email link instead, none of the data that you supply will be stored by this website. Instead the data will be collated into an email and sent to us.

4. Email newsletter
If we supply an email newsletter and you choose to join it, the email address that you submit to us will be forwarded to MailChimp who provide us with email marketing services. We consider MailChimp to be a third party data processor. The email address that you submit will not be stored within this website’s own database or in any of our internal computer systems.
Your email address will remain within MailChimp’s database for as long as we continue to use MailChimp’s services for email marketing or until you specifically request removal from the list. You can do this by unsubscribing using the unsubscribe links contained in any email newsletters that we send you or by requesting removal via our contact form. When requesting removal via email, please send your email to us using the email account that is subscribed to the mailing list.
