Privacy Policy

This website is a personal site operated by the individual named below. In data protection terms, I act as the data controller for information collected through this site.

This site may collect the following categories of information:

• Technical data: IP address, browser type, device type, and basic access logs.
• Contact data: if you email me, your name/email and the contents of the message.
• Usage data: aggregated information about which pages are visited most.
• Cookies: only where necessary for site functionality or analytics (if enabled).

I use personal data only where there is a lawful basis under UK GDPR:

• Legitimate interests: to maintain site security, prevent abuse, and improve the site.
• Consent: if optional analytics/cookies are enabled (where applicable).
• Contract / pre-contract steps: if you contact me for professional collaboration.
• Legal obligation: if required to comply with a lawful request.

I do not sell personal data. Data may be shared only in limited cases:

• Hosting / infrastructure providers (to operate and secure the website).
• Legal requests where required by law or to protect rights and safety.

If any service providers process data outside the UK, I will take steps to ensure appropriate safeguards (such as adequacy regulations or standard contractual clauses) are in place where required.

I keep personal data only for as long as needed for the purpose it was collected, or to comply with legal obligations. Server logs are typically retained for a limited period for security and diagnostics.

You have rights including:

• Access to your personal data
• Rectification (correction)
• Erasure (in some cases)
• Restriction of processing
• Objection to processing
• Data portability (where applicable)
• Withdrawal of consent (where consent is the lawful basis)

You also have the right to complain to the UK Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO).

I take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect data. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, but I aim to apply good practice (access controls, updates, backups, and monitoring).

This site is not directed at children. If you believe a child has provided personal data via this site, please contact me and I will take appropriate steps.

This website may link to external sites. I am not responsible for their privacy practices. Please review the privacy policies of any third-party sites you visit.

I may update this policy from time to time. The “Updated” date at the top of this page reflects the latest revision.
