Privacy

Privacy

What this site collects, which is close to nothing, and who to ask.

The short position

This site is static. It has no forms, no accounts, no analytics and no advertising scripts, and it sets no cookies of its own. A little script writes the current date at the top of each page, and it reads nothing about you.

What the host may see

Whoever hosts the files can record routine server details such as the address requesting a page and the time. Those logs belong to the host and are governed by its own policy. The site does not read them.

Email

A message sent to [email protected] is kept only long enough to reply and then deleted unless a legal reason requires otherwise. Nothing is sold or passed on. A request to delete a message is honoured on asking.

What is never requested

Passwords, card numbers, identity documents and similar details are never requested here, and the site has no field in which to type them.

Other sites

Play buttons and a few other links lead away to sites run by other parties. Once a link is followed, that site's own privacy terms apply, including any cookies it sets.

Your rights

UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018 give people rights over personal data, including access, correction and deletion. Questions can go to [email protected]. A complaint can be made to the regulator, the ICO, at ico.org.uk.
