Privacy Policy

What follows lays out the information picked up by this website, the grounds for picking it up, the span of time it is held onto and where the decisions rest with you. Only this site comes under it – a third-party site opened through a link from here does not.

Information picked up

• Whatever reaches us straight from you, a name or email address put into a contact form being the common example.
• Technical data handed over by your browser, which takes in IP address, browser type, device type and operating system.
• Usage data covering the pages you look at, the length of your stay and the links you go on to open.
• Cookie data, wherever cookies happen to be set, in the manner laid out in the cookies section further along.

Where the information goes

Whatever this site picks up is put toward a small number of ends:

• Holding the site running, protected and acceptably brisk.
• Forming a view of which pages readers get something from, letting the writing improve.
• Getting back to whatever messages you choose to send across.
• Meeting legal or regulatory duties in whichever situations they come into play.

Cookies and technologies like them

Cookies come down to small files held by your browser. This site may put them to work holding onto simple preferences and pulling together anonymous figures on how pages get used. Blocking or clearing them stays possible at any time through your browser settings. Parts of the site may then act differently, even so every page stays readable.

Handing information to third parties

Personal data is not put up for sale at any stage. Portions may be handled by the service providers holding the site together – hosting and analytics providers stand as the examples – held to whatever each of those services truly calls for. Information may equally be handed over wherever the law leaves no choice.

Links leading outward

Links placed here lead outward to external pages, the official Fairplay platform counted among them. Open one and you have stepped onto another party's site, where their own privacy policy applies rather than this text. Work through the policy of any site before personal data goes anywhere near it.

The span information is held

Information is held onto solely while the end behind picking it up still stands, or across whatever span the law lays down. Anonymous figures may be held longer, on the grounds that nobody is identifiable from them.

Where the decision rests with you

The following stay within your power:

• Put in a request for whatever personal data is held about you.
• Put in a request that information be set right wherever it has gone wrong.
• Put in a request that information be wiped, other than where a legal duty ties our hands.
• Take consent for optional processing back at whatever point suits you.
• Shut cookies off using your browser settings.

Guarding information

Fitting technical and organisational measures guard whatever information this site holds. No website is in a position to swear to perfect security, so hold sensitive details back from web forms, and at no point send an account password to someone by email.

Age threshold

Adults of 18 years and upward are who this site is written for. Children are not its audience, and nothing is knowingly picked up from anyone beneath 18. Reach out if a child looks to have handed over information and it will be wiped.

Revisions made here

Revisions may be made to this policy as the site moves along. Whatever version sits on this page holds from the day it goes live, so glancing back every so often is worth the trouble.
