What personal data we collect and why we collect it

Comments

When visitors leave comments on the site we collect the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection.

An anonymised string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.

Contact forms

If you use the contact form on the site we will contact you by email or phone. Please inform us of any changes to your contact information. If at any point you prefer not to receive such calls or e-mails, please let us know.

Where we need consent for marketing communications we will always ask for your consent before adding you to our contact database. This consent will clearly explain that we may periodically send promotional emails, using the email address which you have provided, about new products, special offers or other information which we think you may find interesting. If you subscribe to our mailing lists you can unsubscribe at any time by following the instructions at the end of our email messages.
