How long data is kept
Personal data is kept only for as long as it is needed for the purpose, then deleted, save where the law requires it to be kept longer. Server logs are held briefly and then erased.
What data is collected
Only the data needed to deal with your request is collected, and no special category data is requested: the name and email you give, an optional phone number, your message, and basic technical data like your IP address.
Amendments
We revise this policy if the law or the service changes. The current version here is the one in force.
