The policy sets out the different areas where user privacy is concerned and outlines both our obligations and yours, and in particular outlines the way this website processes, stores and protects user data and information.
Users contacting this website, for example via the contact form do so at their own discretion and provide any such personal details requested at their own risk. Your personal information is kept private and stored securely within the UK until a time it is no longer required or has no use, as detailed in the Data Protection Act 1998. Every effort has been made to ensure a safe and secure form-to-email submission process but advise users using such form to email processes that they do so at their own risk.
We will never sell or give your information to any third parties without your express consent.
Use of e-mail communication
If you have provided us with your email address, we would like to keep you informed about our developments for which we will ask your permission in advance. We will never sell or give your email address to any third parties.
Tracking our website visitors
We track hits on our website with our own bespoke hit counter (we are software writers after all!). For that reason we do not use Google Analytics so this site will never place any Google tracking cookies onto your computer.
Use of Cookies
