What information do we collect and what do we do with it?

When you contact us, we collect the personal information you give us, such as your name, email address and telephone number.  We use this information to respond to your enquiry, provide information, or make appointments.

How do you get my consent?

When you provide us with personal information on a contact or enquiry form or inform us in any other way, you imply that you consent to our collecting it and using it to contact you, make appointments or personalise emails to you.

When you come to your first appointment, you will be asked to read and sign a privacy form.  You may ask to see our full Privacy Policy at your appointment.

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 anonymized 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.

Media

If you upload images to the website, you should avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) included. Visitors to the website can download and extract any location data from images on the website.

Embedded content from other websites

Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.

Who we share your data with

We may disclose your personal information if we are required by law to do so.  Otherwise your personal information remains confidential and is never passed on unless with your consent.

How long we retain your data

 If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.

 If you have left comments, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

Where your data is sent

Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
