How do I use cookies?
 

A cookie is a small file placed on your computer’s hard drive. It enables my website to identify your computer as you view different pages on my website.
The only way in which I use cookies is for web analytics.
Cookies do not provide me with access to your computer or any information about you other than that which you elect to share with me.
You can use your web browser’s cookie settings to determine how my website uses cookies. If you do not want my website to store cookies on your computer or device, you can amend your settings. Please note that this may affect how the website functions, and some pages may become unavailable to you.

 

 

 

How do I collect your personal data?
 

I collect and store minimal information via the forms on my website and through any email exchange we might have.
I will never lease, distribute or sell your information to third parties unless you give me written permission to do so, or I am required to do so by law.

 

 

 

How long do I keep your data for?
 

Because many of my customers and clients work with me more than once, I do not delete data unless specifically requested to do so.

 

 

 

Who do I share your data with?

 

​No one, unless you request that I do so in writing, or there is an audit on my business. I take your right to privacy seriously.
