Our Privacy Policy

Dear Subscriber / Member,

The following information is provided with regards to how I, Geoff Cutler collect and store your data as the General Data Protection Law (GDPR) goes into effect on May 25, 2018, in the European Union.

What is the GDPR?

The GDPR, or General Data Protection Regulation, regulates how EU personal data can be collected, used, and processed. The GDPR will give you more control over your personal data, and greater transparency around how it is used.   I am committed to keeping your personal data safe and secure. I have three different web based services, namely this web site, a message forum, and a mailing list. This web site is my own design, and as such I am responsible for its functioning. It does not use cookies for any functionality at this time. It does not record or track readers of this site other than as happens with every web site where IP addresses are noted against web pages.

Two third party software systems are being used. One is phpBB - a message forum. This offers a reader an ability to sign up in order to add content and reply to content that has been published by others on the forum. In order to sign up a valid email address is required and a unique user name. The password is encrypted. Some other personal information can be added such as location and personal interests. We do not use these email addresses for mailing out except when we need to contact a user over some issue relating to posts they have made. We have never, nor will we ever, pass on any of your details to a third party. But we are not responsible for the development of this message forum and cannot guarantee it will never be hacked. The third system we use is a mailing list via MailChimp. That requires users to sign up again with a valid email address. No personal data is required for this service. We have written a Privacy Policy to explain these changes, and to give you more information about how we collect, use, and store your personal data. Our Privacy Policy endeavors to make clear your rights in relation to your personal data.
