Privacy Policy
This policy explains which information this website gathers, the reasons behind gathering it, how long it stays with us and which choices sit with you. It applies to this site alone, not to any outside site you reach by following a link from here.
Information we gather
- Anything you send us directly, such as a name or email address typed into a contact form.
- Technical data passed on by your browser, covering IP address, browser type, device type and operating system.
- Usage data recording which pages you open, how long you linger and which links you click through.
- Cookie data, wherever cookies are placed, along the lines described in the cookies section further down.
What we do with information
Anything gathered through this site serves a narrow set of purposes:
- Holding the site working, protected and reasonably quick.
- Working out which pages readers get value from, so the writing can be sharpened.
- Answering the messages you send our way.
- Satisfying legal or regulatory duties wherever those bite.
Cookies and related technologies
Cookies are small files kept by your browser. This site may lean on them to hold on to simple preferences and to build anonymous figures about how pages get used. Your browser settings let you block or clear cookies whenever you like. Blocking them can alter how certain parts of the site behave, but the pages remain readable throughout.
Passing information to others
Personal data is never sold. Information may pass through service providers that keep the site running, hosting and analytics providers among them, and only to the extent each service calls for. Information may equally be handed over wherever the law demands it.
Links pointing elsewhere
This site carries links out to outside pages, the official Fairplay platform included. The moment you follow one you have landed on somebody else's site, governed by their privacy policy and not by this one. Go through the policy of any site before handing it personal data.
How long information stays
Information stays with us only while it still serves the purpose behind gathering it, or for as long as the law insists. Anonymous figures may stay longer, given that they identify nobody any more.
The choices open to you
You are able to:
- Ask which personal data we are holding about you.
- Ask for information to be put right wherever it is inaccurate.
- Ask for information to be erased, unless a legal duty obliges us to retain it.
- Pull back consent for optional processing whenever you like.
- Switch cookies off from your browser settings.
Keeping data protected
Sensible technical and organisational measures guard the information this site holds. Flawless security is beyond any website's promise, so steer clear of sending sensitive details through web forms, and never email an account password to anybody.
Age limit
This site is intended for adults of 18 and over. Children are not its audience, and information is never knowingly gathered from anyone below 18. Should you think a child has sent us information, get in touch and it will be taken down.
Revisions to this policy
This policy may be revised as the site moves on. Whichever version appears on this page applies from the date it goes up, so a look back now and then is worthwhile.
