GDPR Compliance
Key Aspects of Our GDPR Compliance:
We process all personal data lawfully, fairly, and in a transparent manner. We collect data only when we have a legal basis for doing so, such as consent from you, contractual necessity, or a legitimate interest that does not infringe upon your rights.
We adhere to the principle of data minimisation, ensuring that only the necessary data for any specific purpose is processed. Consent is managed meticulously, with clear options provided to either consent to or opt out of our data processing practices. You have the right to withdraw your consent at any time.
You have the right to access any data we hold about you. Upon request, we will provide a copy of this data and, if necessary, amend or delete it. You also have the right to restrict the processing of your data or object to its processing entirely.
Furthermore, you have the right to receive your personal data in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format and to transfer it to another data controller. We use advanced security measures to protect your personal data against accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorised disclosure of, or access to, data transmitted, stored, or otherwise processed.
We are dedicated to upholding our responsibilities under the GDPR and continually review our processes to adhere to these standards. If you have any questions about how we handle your data under the GDPR or wish to exercise any of your rights, please contact us at [email protected].
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 anonymized 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.
Media
If you upload images to the website, you should avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) included. Visitors to the website can download and extract any location data from images on the website.
Contact forms
When you utilise the contact forms on our website, your messages are directly sent to our mailbox at [email protected] and are not stored on our site. We use your information solely to respond to your enquiries and implement standard email security measures to protect your data. By not storing your personal information on our website, we minimise the risk of unauthorised access. If you have any questions about how we handle your data, please contact us at [email protected].
Cookies
If you leave a comment on our site you may opt-in to saving your name, email address and website in cookies. These are for your convenience so that you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies will last for one year.
If you visit our login page, we will set a temporary cookie to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.
When you log in, we will also set up several cookies to save your login information and your screen display choices. Login cookies last for two days, and screen options cookies last for a year. If you select “Remember Me”, your login will persist for two weeks. If you log out of your account, the login cookies will be removed.
If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be saved in your browser. This cookie includes no personal data and simply indicates the post ID of the article you just edited. It expires after 1 day.
Embedded content from other websites
Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.
These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.
Analytics
We use analytics tools to collect standard internet log and visitor behaviour information to understand how visitors interact with our site and to improve their experience. This includes collecting data such as traffic, location data, and page interactions without personally identifying individuals.
The collected data helps us manage and improve our website, ensuring content is relevant and troubleshooting issues as they arise. We aggregate and anonymise this data, meaning it cannot be traced back to any individual.
Donations / Offerings
When you make a donation / offering through our site, all payments are processed securely via PayPal. We do not store these details on our servers. PayPal does charge a fee of 2.99% plus £0.39 per transaction, which is standard for transactions through their platform.
We use PayPal to ensure the highest standards of security for financial transactions. Your payment information is used solely for the purpose of processing your donation and is not stored on our website, ensuring your financial security. Your personal and payment details are handled with the utmost confidentiality and are not shared with any other parties.
Who we share your data with
We do not share your data with any third parties. Your personal information is used solely to respond to your enquiries and improve your experience on our site. We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal information.
How long we retain your data
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
For users that register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.
What rights you have over your data
If you have an account on this site, or have left comments, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. This is called a Subject Access Request (SAR). You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes. You can exercise your right to erasure or a Subject Access Request by emailing [email protected].
Where we send your data
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
Your contact information
When you provide your contact information through our website, such as your name, email address, and phone number, we handle this information with strict confidentiality. We collect your details only to communicate with you, respond to your enquiries, and send you information that you have requested.
We take robust security measures to protect your contact information from unauthorized access or disclosure. This data is accessible only by staff who are bound by duties of confidentiality and is not shared with any third parties, except as required by law.
Additional information
How we protect your data
We are committed to ensuring the security of your personal data. To prevent unauthorized access or disclosure, we have put in place suitable physical, electronic, and managerial procedures to safeguard and secure the information we collect online.
Importantly, we do not store any credit card or financial information on our servers. All payment transactions are processed securely via PayPal, which uses industry-standard SSL encryption to protect data transmissions. This ensures that your financial information is transmitted securely over the internet and is never retained by us after the transaction is complete.
What data breach procedures we have in place
Our website is regularly updated and tested for security vulnerabilities to make sure it is safe from hackers. Access to your personal data is limited to those employees who need to know that information in order to process it for us, and they are subject to strict contractual confidentiality obligations.
What third parties we receive data from
We receive data exclusively from Google, which provides us with information related to our campaigns and tracks interactions such as clicks. This data is vital for monitoring the effectiveness of our advertising efforts and our organic search engine optimisation (SEO) strategies.
This information helps us to understand how users find and interact with our site, allowing us to enhance user experience by improving content visibility and relevance through refined SEO practices. No personal information is shared with other third parties.
