Privacy Policy

Privacy.

In a Nutshell

All my work comes from personal recommendation. I don't enjoy receiving spam email or unsolicited sales calls so I don't inflict them on other people.

You can browse my website without revealing any personally-identifiable information. You can choose to share such information via the enquiry form or email links. If you do, your information will be used only for the purposes stated below.

If you engage my services it may be necessary to pass your details to a third party to fulfill some of those services (domain registration and hosting for example). I'll seek your consent first and make sure they take at least as much care with your data as I do.

I take really good care of any information you share with me. I've got robust systems and processes in place to achieve this.

I'll be responsible and timely in responding to any enquiries or concerns you may have about your personal information which I hold or process. You have clear rights in this regard. Please see below.
