What we collect
| What | Why | Kept for |
|---|---|---|
| Basic visit logs (IP address, browser, page, time), kept by our host Cloudflare | To keep the site running, stop attacks and fix faults (legitimate interests) | Up to 30 days |
| Visit counts from Cloudflare Web Analytics: page, where you came from, browser type and country. No cookies, nothing stored on your device, and your IP address is not kept | To see which pages people use, so we can improve the site (legitimate interests) | Totals only, with no record of you as a person |
| Your cookie choice, stored in your own browser | So we don't ask you every visit | Until you clear it or change it |
| Your email address, only if you join the newsletter | To send the newsletter you asked for (consent). Sent through Kit, our email service, which also records whether each email is opened or clicked | Until you unsubscribe, using the link in every email |
| Your name, email address and message, only if you email us | To answer you (legitimate interests), or to deal with a data request (legal duty) | As long as needed to deal with it, and no more than 2 years |
| Advertising cookies, only if you say yes | To show ads that pay for the site (consent) | Set by Google; see below |
We never sell your data. We don't ask for your name, address or phone number to use the site.
Who we share it with
Only the services that run the site for us: Cloudflare (hosting, security, visit counts and our email forwarding), Google (adverts, and the mailbox our emails arrive in) and Kit (the newsletter). Some of them store data in the United States. When they do, they use the safeguards UK law requires, such as the UK International Data Transfer Addendum or the UK-US data bridge. Their own notices: Cloudflare, Google, Kit.
