Privacy Policy
Introduction
This is my website and it is my policy to respect your privacy regarding any information that may be collected while operating the website.
Website Visitors
Like so many others, this website collects non-personally-identifying information of the sort that web browsers and servers typically make available, such as the browser type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor request. The purpose of collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how visitors use the website. Gathering of Personally-Identifying Information
Certain visitors to the website choose to interact with it in ways that require the gathering of personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information that is gathered depend on the nature of the interaction. For example, we ask visitors who comment on the blog to provide their name and email address. In each case, the website collects such information only insofar as is necessary or appropriate to fulfil the purpose of the visitor’s interaction with it. The website does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below. Visitors can always refuse to supply personally-identifying information, with the caveat that it may prevent them from engaging in certain website-related activities.
Aggregated Statistics
Statistics may be collected about the behaviour of visitors to the website. However, personally-identifying information never is disclosed other than as described below.
Protection of Certain Personally-Identifying Information
Personally identifying and personally-identifying information only is disclosed to the webmaster, any contractors and affiliated organizations that (i) need to know that information to process it on behalf of the website behalf or to provide services available through the website, and (ii) that have agreed not to disclose it to others. The webmaster, any contractors and affiliated organizations may be located outside of your home country; by using the website, you consent to the transfer of such information to them. Potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information will not be sold to anyone. Other than those described above, the website discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only in response to a subpoena, court order or another governmental request, or when I believe in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect the property or rights of the website, third parties or the public at large. The website takes all measures reasonably necessary to protect against the unauthorized access, use, alteration or destruction of potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information.
Cookies
All information that is sent as configured within your web browser is collected and includes, where available, your IP address, operating system and browser type. This information is stored and managed anonymously and independently from your details. Also, the information takes the form of statistical data about users’ browsing actions and patterns and does not identify any individual.
Like many other websites, I use cookies on the website to obtain information about your general Internet usage. A cookie is a small piece of data that your Internet browser stores on your hard drive and this is used when you visit the site to tailor your viewing and provide you with customised information. Only the information that you provide, or your preferences while visiting a website, can be stored in a cookie. For example, the website cannot determine personal details, such as your email address, unless you choose to submit them.
Your Rights
Full details of your rights are set out in the relevant privacy notice provided to you, but you are entitled by law to ask for a copy of your personal information at any time. You are also entitled to ask me to correct, delete or update your personal information, to send your personal information to you or another organisation and to object to automated decision making. Where you have given me your consent to use your personal information in a particular manner, you also have the right to withdraw this consent at any time.
To exercise any of your rights, or if you have any questions relating to your rights, please contact me by using the Make Contact page. If you are unhappy with the way I am using your personal information, you complain to your local data protection regulator. However, I am here to help and would encourage you to contact me to resolve your complaint first.

Policy Changes
Although most changes are likely to be minor, this policy may change from time to time, and at my sole discretion. Visitors are encouraged to frequently check this page for any changes. Your continued use of this site after any policy change will constitute your acceptance of such change.
