2.0 Personal information this website collects and why we collect it
This website collects and uses personal information for the following reasons:
2.1 Contact forms and email links
If you choose to contact us using the contact form on our Contact page or an email link like this one, none of the data that you supply will be stored by this website or passed / processed by any third party data processors. Form data is collated into an email and sent to us over the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP). Our SMTP emails services are provided by Crazy Domains and are protected by TLS (sometimes known as SSL) meaning that the email content is encrypted before being sent across the internet. However, not all mail servers are secured in such a way. Therefore, we would suggest that you always consider email as an insecure medium and not include personal, confidential or otherwise sensitive information within an email.
