We are committed to protecting your privacy. Please read our privacy policy carefully so that you can understand how we collect and use the personal information that you provide to us.

Storage and security of your personal information

We take all reasonable steps to ensure that all personal information collected is secure and protected against misuse, loss, unauthorised access, modification or disclosure.

However, we cannot guarantee the security of such information. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we disclaim all liability and responsibility for any damages you may suffer due to any loss, unauthorised access, misuse or alteration of any information you submit to this site.

Disclosure of your personal information

Except as set out in this privacy policy, we will not disclose any personally identifiable information without your permission unless we are legally entitled or required to do so (for example, if required to do so by legal process or for the purposes of prevention of fraud or other crime) or if we believe that such action is necessary to protect and/or lessen a threat to public health or public safety, or the life or health of our users/customers etc.

Google Advertising

We make use of Google services such as Google Ads and Google Analytics to advertise our services and to measure the effectiveness of that advertising.  Part of that service is Google Signals which can associate personal information from your Google account (if you have one and are logged in) with our advertising efforts.  No personal information is shared with us, instead it is aggregated before being included in any of Google’s services that we make use of. 

You are in control of how Google processes your data.  You can visit Google’s My Ad Center and My Activity sites to review the data they make use of for advertising and to make choices regarding their processing of your personal information.

Browsing patterns and cookies

We also collect information automatically about your visits to our site, such as browsing patterns, but information collected in this way is only used in aggregate form rather than being linked to identifiable individuals.

Cookies are very small text files that a website can send to and store on your hard drive to help tailor and keep records of your visit to the site. If you would like to find out how we use cookies on this website please read our cookies page.

Before providing such information, please ensure that you have obtained their consent to their personal data being used in this way. We will not use these details in any manner, which is incompatible with this privacy policy.
