Non-personal data
Google Analytics
We collect non-personal data through a third-party service, Google Analytics to collect standard internet log information. This information helps us to continuously make improvements to our site that will improve your experience with us and help to inform our marketing choices. This information cannot be traced back to you.
We might collect the following non-personal data:
- Device type

- Browsing activity
We use a Google Analytics code on our site to gather statistical information. For more information on how Google Analytics processes this information, visit www.google.com/analytics.
Google Analytics is actually a big part of how we help businesses improve their search rankings and improve your sitemap structure. And if we work together, I may require access to your account so I can assess If you don’t have it, or want help using it properly to get great insights from your website, then you should definitely get in touch.
Log files
Log files allow us to record visitors’ use of the site. This site’s administrative team (ha, team, it’s just me) puts together log file information from all our visitors, which we use to make improvements to the layout of the site and to the information in it, based on the way that visitors move around it. Log files do not contain any personal information about you.
If you receive the HTML-formatted version of a newsletter, your opening of the newsletter email is notified to us and saved. Your clicks on links in the newsletter are also saved. These and the open statistics are used in aggregate form to give us an indication of the popularity of the content and to help us make decisions about future content and formatting.
Confidentiality and security
We fully comply with Data Protection Legislation including the Data Protection Act (1998) and the GDPR (2018)
Any information you provide will be held securely and in accordance with the Data Protection Laws. Whilst we will use industry-standard technology designed to keep your personal data safe, please bear in mind though that it is impossible for us to guarantee that impenetrable security measures are in place. Consequently, you acknowledge that there may be circumstances (albeit highly unlikely) in which unauthorised persons may access your personal data. We can’t guarantee that we are better than all the hackers in the world. We’re sorry. But seriously, it’s incredibly unlikely that anyone would want to hack us. We’ve got like 25 email subscribers. (You should be number 26 please). (you can do that here if you like)
We may disclose your personal data if we reasonably believe we are required to do so by law, like if you go missing and end up getting found in the woods because you’ve had enough of it all and want to live off-grid.
Good on you we say.

We try to be as open as possible on what information we hold. You have the right to access the personal information we hold about you at any time. If you wish to do this, please contact us. If we do hold information about you, you can ask us to correct any mistakes or request it to be deleted from our records.
Cookies
When we provide services, we want to make them easy, useful and reliable. Where services are delivered on the internet, this sometimes involves placing small amounts of information on your device, for example, computer or mobile phone. These include small files known as cookies. They cannot be used to identify you personally.
These pieces of information are used to improve services for you through, for example:
- enabling a service to recognise your device so you don’t have to give the same information several times during one task
- recognising that you may already have given a username and password so you don’t need to do it for every web page requested
- measuring how many people are using services, so they can be made easier to use and there’s enough capacity to ensure they are fast.
You can manage these small files yourself. Click here to learn more about cookies, what they are and how to manage them.
