All matters concerning the appropriate data processing / personal privacy aspects of this website should be addressed to the author / owner – using the contact form linked to in the last bullet point further below

  • This website uses a ‘plugin’ to better manage its security etc. We can thus identify certain aspects of ‘visitors’ including e.g. country and Internet Protocol (IP) address sources; Internet Service Provider (ISP) used, operating system and web browser used etc. None of this permits us to identify your personal information specifically.

  • Further to the bullet point information immediately above, there might be occasion where we might request to retain your personal information e.g. to provide you with possible, further updates etc. to work already completed (by us) for you.
