Information we collect
Information you provide: If you contact us through the website form or by email, we receive the information you choose to provide, such as your name, email address and message.
Technical information: WordPress.com and Jetpack automatically process technical information needed to deliver, maintain and protect the website. This may include your IP address, browser and device information, pages requested, cookie information, and security or spam-detection signals.
How and why we use information
We use information supplied through the contact form or by email to read and respond to enquiries. We process technical information where necessary to operate the website, maintain security, prevent abuse and understand basic site performance. These activities are based on our legitimate interests in communicating with visitors and operating a safe, reliable website, or on a legal obligation where one applies.
We do not sell or rent personal information, and we do not use it for automated decision-making or profiling.
Cookies
WordPress.com may use essential and functional cookies to operate and protect the website. Logged-in site administrators may receive additional cookies relating to login and display preferences. Embedded third-party services may also set their own cookies. Further information is available in Automattic’s Cookie Policy.
Embedded content and third-party services
This website includes content or services supplied by third parties, including YouTube videos and an Instagram feed. Viewing or interacting with embedded content may allow those providers to collect technical information, use cookies or record your interaction, particularly if you are logged in to an account with that provider. Their processing is governed by their own privacy policies.
Who we share information with
The website is hosted and supported by WordPress.com and Jetpack, services provided by Automattic. Information may also be processed by service providers needed to host and secure the site, deliver contact-form messages, or display embedded content. We may disclose information if required by law. More information about Automattic’s handling of visitor data is available in its Privacy Notice for Visitors to Users’ Sites.
Some service providers may process information outside the European Economic Area. Where this occurs, the provider is responsible for using the safeguards required by applicable data-protection law.
How long we retain information
Contact-form messages and related correspondence are normally retained for up to two years after the last communication, unless they are needed for longer to deal with an ongoing matter or to meet a legal obligation. Technical and security information is retained by the relevant service providers according to their own retention policies.
Your data-protection rights
Subject to the circumstances and applicable law, you may have the right to request access to your personal data; ask for inaccurate data to be corrected; request erasure or restriction of processing; object to processing; and receive certain data in a portable format. Where processing is based on consent, you may withdraw that consent at any time.
