What personal data we collect and why we collect it
Comments
When visitors leave comments on the site we collect the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection.
An anonymised string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.
Contact forms
If you get in touch via a contact form on any page of the site, or an email link, the data comes straight to us as an email, it is not stored on the website. You do not have to give any information you are not comfortable sharing and we have kept the required fields on the contact form to only those things we need to be able contact you and address you correctly – first name and email address.
Emails are stored in password protected email accounts and only accessed on password protected devices. We will delete your data if requested unless there are legal reasons that I can not do so.
We will not pass your details onto third parties unless it is required to complete your job or project eg printers or other suppliers
