Privacy Policy

What this site collects

Nothing. That is unusual enough to be worth setting out item by item rather than asserting in a sentence.

• No analytics. There is no analytics package on any page of this site — no Google Analytics, no privacy-preserving alternative, no server-side measurement product. Page views are not counted.
• No cookies. This site sets no cookies of any kind. Nothing is written to local storage or session storage either.
• No trackers or advertising pixels. No remarketing tags, no conversion pixels, no social media pixels, no session recording, no heat mapping, no testing tools.
• No third-party embeds. No embedded videos, maps, fonts, comment systems, chat widgets or share buttons. Typefaces, stylesheets, scripts and images are all served from this domain, so loading a page here does not cause your browser to make a request to anybody else.
• No accounts and no sign-up. There is nothing to log in to, and there is no mailing list to join.

The practical consequence is that this site cannot build a profile of you, because it never receives anything to build one from.

The contact form posts nowhere

The form on the contact page is not a form in the usual sense. It does not submit to a server. When you press the button, a small piece of JavaScript running inside your own browser assembles the text you typed into a pre-addressed message and opens it in your own mail application, where you can read it, edit it, or close it without sending.

Nothing typed into that form is transmitted to this website, and nothing is stored on it. If you never press send in your mail application, no one ever sees what you wrote. There is no database behind this site and no server-side form handler to receive anything.

Once you do send the message, it is an ordinary email, subject to your mail provider's arrangements and mine, and it travels the way any email does.

What the hosting provider records

Any web server records requests as a normal function of serving them, and this one is no exception. Standard access logs may include the requesting IP address, the time of the request, the file requested, the response code, and the browser's user-agent string. Those records are created by the hosting infrastructure, not by anything embedded in the pages, and they are retained under the hosting provider's own arrangements.

They are not used to identify visitors, build profiles, or measure marketing. They exist for security and for diagnosing faults, which is what server logs are for.

Email you send me

If you email me, I keep the correspondence as an ordinary business record, for as long as there is a reason to. It is not sold, not rented, not shared with anyone else, and not added to any list — there is no list. If no engagement follows, you can ask me to delete the correspondence and I will.

Please do not send confidential, privileged or case material in a first message. Where a matter may involve litigation, a conflict check comes first.

Changes to this policy

If any of the above stops being true — if a measurement tool is ever added, for example — this page changes first, and the change is stated here rather than absorbed quietly. If you have a question about any of it, ask, and the answer will be a direct one rather than a form response.
