Information collected automatically: IP address, approximate location derived from it, browser and device type, operating system, referring page, pages viewed, and the date and time of your visit.

We do not knowingly collect special categories of data, and we do not ask for payment card details, because we do not sell products or bookings through this website.

To deliver the website and its content, and to keep it secure and available.

To send the newsletter you requested, and to measure whether it is opened and read.

To understand aggregate usage so we can decide what to publish, improve navigation and diagnose faults.

To comply with legal obligations and to establish, exercise or defend legal claims.

Section 07

7. Cookies and similar technologies

We use strictly necessary cookies to operate the site, and may use analytics cookies to measure aggregate usage. Non-essential cookies are set only where you have consented, if consent is required in your jurisdiction.

Most browsers allow you to refuse or delete cookies. Blocking strictly necessary cookies may prevent parts of the site from working. See our Cookie Policy for detail.

Section 08

8. Third-party services

We use service providers for website hosting and delivery, content distribution, email newsletter delivery and aggregate analytics. These providers process personal information on our instructions and are bound by contractual confidentiality and security obligations.

We do not sell personal information, and we do not share it with third parties for their own independent marketing.

Section 09

9. International transfers

We are established in the United States and our providers may process information in the United States and elsewhere. Where information is transferred from the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom or Switzerland, we rely on appropriate safeguards such as standard contractual clauses.

10. Retention

Newsletter data is retained until you unsubscribe, and then for a short period to record the unsubscribe request.

Correspondence is retained for as long as needed to handle the matter and to keep a record of corrections. Server and security logs are retained for a limited period and then deleted or aggregated.

Section 11

11. Security

We use encryption in transit, access controls, restricted administrative accounts and provider-level protections. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Section 12

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, delete, restrict or object to processing, to receive a portable copy of your information, and to withdraw consent.

Residents of certain US states may have rights to know, to delete, to correct and to opt out of sale or sharing. We do not sell or share personal information as those terms are defined in applicable state law.
