LEGAL

Nothing on this website constitutes legal or tax advice. All communications sent to us, whether by Twitter/LinkedIn direct message, email, contact form, whatsapp etc, will be held in strict confidence and only disclosed with your explicit permission. Unless you are threatening to sue us for libel, in which case absolutely no duty of confidence is accepted, and we will probably publish everything you send us. We do not accept correspondence on a “without prejudice” basis without our express prior agreement in writing.

The type of personal information we may receive:

When you post a comment on our blog: name, contact details, comment. Information you post as a comment is publicly available. Information you post in a blog comment is not securely stored because, by definition, it is viewable by anyone at any time. You should be aware that, whilst we can delete blog comments, they may be cached by internet search engines and other websites over which we have no control. Please therefore assume that any comment you post will be permanently visible on the general internet. Any additional information you provide (e.g. your email address) will be stored by our provider, who has warranted they comply with GDPR.
When you send us a message (via email, Twitter, website contact form etc): contact details, message. Information you send to us in a message will be treated as confidential and only shared with other parties with your consent, or if required by law (or if, as above, you are threatening to sue us). Information in a message you send us will be securely stored in an email system (for which Google is the data controller) and retained for an appropriate amount of time having regard to the purpose of the message. In the unlikely event we are required by law to disclosure your message with other parties, we will (to the extent possible) notify you of that and give you the opportunity to resist the disclosure.
If you subscribe to our mailing list then we will email you updates. Your email address and other personal data will be held by a third party provider who has warranted they comply with GDPR. You can unsubscribe at any time. We will not pass your name or email address to any other third parties.
We are registered with the Information Commissioner.
