I am committed to safeguarding the privacy of my website visitors; this policy sets out how your personal information will be treated.
(1) What information is collected?
The following kinds of personal information may be collected, stored and used:
(a) information about your computer and about your visits to and use of this website (including your IP address, geographical location, browser type and version, operating system, referral source, length of visit, page views, and website navigation)
(b) information relating to any transactions carried out between you and me on or in relation to this website, including information relating to any purchases you make of my goods or services
(c) information that you provide for the purpose of registering with me

(e) any other information that you choose to send to me
(f) other information.
(2) Cookies
A cookie consists of information sent by a web server to a web browser, and stored by the browser. The information is then sent back to the server each time the browser requests a page from the server. This enables the web server to identify and track the web browser. I may use both “session” cookies and “persistent” cookies on the website. I will use the session cookies to: keep track of you whilst you navigate the website. I will use the persistent cookies to: enable the website to recognise you when you visit.
Session cookies will be deleted from your computer when you close your browser. Persistent cookies will remain stored on your computer until deleted, or until they reach a specified expiry date.
I use Google Analytics to analyse the use of this website. Google Analytics generates statistical and other information about website use by means of cookies, which are stored on users’ computers. The information generated relating to this website is used to create reports about the use of the website. Google will store this information. Google’s privacy policy is available at: http://www.google.com/privacypolicy.html. My payment services providers may also send you cookies.
Most browsers allow you to reject all cookies, whilst some browsers allow you to reject just third party cookies. For example, in Internet Explorer you can refuse all cookies by clicking “Tools”, “Internet Options”, “Privacy”, and selecting “Block all cookies” using the sliding selector. Blocking all cookies will, however, have a negative impact upon the usability of many websites, including this one.
(3) Using your personal information
Personal information submitted via this website will be used for the purposes specified in this privacy policy or in relevant parts of the website. I may use your personal information to:
(a) administer the website;

(i) provide third parties with statistical information about the users of the website – but this information will not be used to identify any individual user;
(j) deal with enquiries and complaints made by or about you relating to the website;
(k) other uses.
Where you submit personal information for publication on this website, I will publish and otherwise use that information in accordance with the license you grant to me.
All my website financial transactions are handled through our payment services provider, PayPal. You can review the PayPal privacy policy at www.paypal.com. I will share information with PayPal only to the extent necessary for the purposes of processing payments you make via this website and dealing with complaints and queries relating to such payments.
(4) Disclosures
I may disclose information about you to any of my employees, officers, agents, suppliers or subcontractors insofar as reasonably necessary for the purposes as set out in this privacy policy. In addition, I may disclose your personal information:
(a) to the extent that I am required to do so by law;
(b) in connection with any legal proceedings or prospective legal proceedings;
(c) in order to establish, exercise or defend my legal rights (including providing information to others for the purposes of fraud prevention and reducing credit risk);
(d) to the purchaser (or prospective purchaser) of any business or asset which I am (or am contemplating) selling; and
(e) to any person who I reasonably believe may apply to a court or other competent authority for disclosure of that personal information where, in my reasonable opinion, such court or authority would be reasonably likely to order disclosure of that personal information.
Except as provided in this privacy policy, I will not provide your information to third parties.
(5) International data transfers
Information that I collect may be stored and processed in and transferred between any of the countries in which I operate in order to enable me to use the information in accordance with this privacy policy.
Information which you provide may be transferred to countries which do not have data protection laws equivalent to those in force in the European Economic Area.
In addition, personal information that you submit for publication on the website will be published on the internet and may be available, via the internet, around the world. I cannot prevent the use or misuse of such information by others.
You expressly agree to such transfers of personal information.
(6) Security of your personal information
I will take reasonable technical and organisational precautions to prevent the loss, misuse or alteration of your personal information.
I will store all the personal information that you provide on my secure (password- and firewall- protected) servers. Of course, data transmission over the internet is inherently insecure, and I cannot guarantee the security of data sent over the internet.
You are responsible for keeping your password and user details confidential. I will not ask you for your password (except when you log in to the website).
(7) Policy amendments
I may update this privacy policy from time-to-time by posting a new version on this website. You should check this page occasionally to ensure that you agree with any changes.
I may also notify you of changes to our privacy policy by email.

You may instruct me to provide you with any personal information that I hold about you. Provision of such information will be subject to:
the supply of appropriate evidence of your identity (for this purpose, I will usually accept a photocopy of your passport certified by a solicitor or bank plus an original copy of a utility bill showing your current address).
I may withhold such personal information to the extent permitted by law.
You may instruct me not to process your personal information for marketing purposes by email at any time. In practice, you will usually either expressly agree in advance to my use of your personal information for marketing purposes, or I will provide you with an opportunity to opt-out of the use of your personal information for marketing purposes.
