What Information We Collect
Contact Form
When you use the contact form on this site, we collect your name, email address, and the message you submit. This information is used solely to respond to your enquiry and is not shared with any third parties.
Comments
When you leave a comment on a blog post, we collect your name, email address, and the content of your comment. Your name and comment will be displayed publicly on the site. Your email address is not published but is used to notify you of replies if you opt in. Comments are checked through an automated spam detection service.
If you opt in to saving your details for future comments, a cookie will be stored in your browser for one year containing your name, email address, and website (if provided), so you do not need to re-enter them next time.
