What we collect, and what we don't
This site collects very little. There are no advertising trackers, no third-party fonts or scripts loading in the background, and nothing is sold or shared for marketing. This page sets out exactly what happens.
When you send an enquiry
The contact form asks for your name, email address, an optional company name, and your message. When you submit it, we also record the IP address the request came from and your browser's user-agent string — these help us block automated spam and nothing else.
That information is stored on a server we run, and a copy is emailed to us so we see it promptly. We use it to reply to you and to carry on the conversation if it goes further. We don't add you to a mailing list, and we don't pass your details to anyone else.
Analytics, only if you agree
We use Microsoft Clarity to understand how the site is used — which pages hold attention, and where people get stuck. It records anonymised session activity such as clicks, scrolling and navigation.
Clarity does not load unless you accept it. If you decline, nothing is requested from Microsoft at all — the script is never fetched, rather than fetched and told to stay quiet. You can change your mind at any time using Cookie settings at the bottom of any page.
If you do accept, your data is handled by Microsoft under the Microsoft Privacy Statement.
Cookies
This site sets no cookies of its own. Your analytics choice is kept in your
browser's local storage under ff-analytics-consent, which never
leaves your device and is not readable by anyone else. If you accept
analytics, Microsoft Clarity sets its own cookies; declining means it never
runs, so it never does.
Server logs
Our web server records each request — time, page, IP address, user-agent — as most servers do. We use these to investigate faults and abuse. They rotate automatically and are deleted after 30 days.
Who else is involved
- Amazon Web Services — hosts the server this site and your enquiry run on.
- SMTP2GO — delivers the notification email when you send an enquiry.
- Microsoft — provides Clarity analytics, and only ever sees anything if you accept it.
That's the complete list. No advertising networks, no data brokers, no analytics beyond the above.
How long we keep things
- Enquiries — for up to 24 months after our last contact, so we can pick up a conversation where it left off. Ask us sooner and we'll delete them.
- Server logs — 30 days.
- Your analytics choice — until you clear your browser storage.
Your choices
You can ask us for a copy of what we hold about you, ask us to correct it, or ask us to delete it. We'll do that, and we won't make it difficult. The quickest route is the contact form — say what you'd like and we'll confirm once it's done.
To turn analytics off after previously accepting, use Cookie settings in the footer and choose Decline.
Changes to this page
If what we collect changes, we'll update this page and the date at the top. If the change is significant, we'll ask for your consent again rather than assuming it.
