We aim to be a responsible and compliant website and hope the following privacy statement is of interest.

However some functionality may be lost. Please consult your browser documentation to learn how to disable cookies.

Our policy is to avoid cookie technology unless essential to site functionality. We have worked hard to minimize our cookie use and currently (April 2020) this site only uses one cookie for users within the European Union zone to note their consent to cookie use. This cookie is placed to help us conform to the EU cookie policy law. If you are not accessing the site from the EU, no cookies will be stored. We do not store any personally identifiable information at any time.

These third party cookies allow Google to display ads based on your visits to this and other sites that use affiliated Google services. Cookies may also be stored for statistical or analytics purposes. You can learn more about this cookie usage, including how to opt-out, by visiting https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites (“How Google uses data when you use our partners’ sites or apps”).

Email privacy

If you contact us by any means, all personal information you provide (such as name or email address) will be treated confidentially. We promise to respect your privacy and never reveal your email address to any third party unless lawfully compelled to.

We may provide users with a mailing list service to inform about site updates or important site news. If you write to us, you may be offered to chance to additionally opt-in to the mailing list at the same time. If so, be assured that your privacy will be respected. You can opt out at any time and we’ll forget you ever existed. We use and recommend Closum.com to handle our mailing lists, one of the internet’s most trusted email service providers.

All emails we receive are assumed to be for the furtherance of our work and will therefore be regarded as potentially publishable on the site or elsewhere unless you tell us otherwise. In that case, you agree to grant us a non-exclusive, non-transferable right to quote or publish it (or part thereof) on our site and/or derivative works in perpetuity. If you do not agree to this condition, please indicate so by including the words NOT FOR PUBLICATION at the beginning of your message.

This data is used only to compile general site statistics (such as the number of people visiting per day). We do not knowingly collect any personally identifiable information from visitors.

Your Rights under GDPR

As a general principle we avoid the use of personal data unless absolutely critical for the providing of user services. We undertake to respect the confidentiality of your personal data and to guarantee you can exercise your rights, including requesting, correcting or permanently deleting any personal data which we may hold.
