I do not actively collect personal information from visitors simply for browsing the website.
However, personal information may be provided voluntarily if you choose to contact me through the website or by email. This may include information such as your name, email address and any other information you choose to include in your message.
The website may also collect limited technical and usage information through Squarespace's analytics functionality, as described in my Cookie Policy.
How I use your information
If you contact me, I will use the information you provide only for the purpose of responding to your enquiry or communicating with you about the subject of your message.
Analytics information is used to understand how visitors use the website and to improve its content, functionality and performance.
I do not use personal information for targeted advertising or behavioural profiling.
Legal basis for processing
Where applicable under UK data protection law, I process personal information on the following bases:
Legitimate interests: Where necessary to operate, maintain and improve the website and understand how it is being used.
Consent: Where you voluntarily provide information or where consent is required for the use of analytics cookies or similar technologies.
Contract or pre-contractual steps: Where processing is necessary in connection with a request or arrangement you have made with me.
I will only process personal information where there is an appropriate lawful basis for doing so.
Analytics
