Analytics

If you accept our Statistics cookie, we will use Google Analytics to help us understand how our visitors use the site. Google Analytics will collect the Internet Protocol (IP) address to provide and protect the security of the service, and to provide information to us about our customers’ geographic data (country, city, state/province). Google Analytics also provides information to us about how our users found this website (search engine, link click, social media), which pages were viewed, session lengths, and other such ways you might interact with the site.

Users can opt-out at any time by deselecting the Statistics cookies. Please note that users of browser extensions such as Adblock, Noscript, Ghostery, Disconnect, and similar tools designed to limit tracking, analytics, and other such features may not be prompted. We fully support your use of these applications, if you so wish.

Commenting and Contact

If you leave a comment on one of our blog articles, we ask for three pieces of data:

  • Your name. This doesn’t need to be your real name. You are free to use a handle or pseudonym, and we recommend that you do not use your full name. This will appear with your comment.
  • Your email address. This is to protect our blog from spam. Unfortunately, websites such as ours are prime targets to be hit with spam comments. We ask for your email address to aid us in moderating the comments. Users who have several approved comments under the same email address will be added to a whitelist. You are under no obligation to provide a legitimate email address, however, and can enter whatever you like. However, obvious fake email addresses may be taken as spam, either by our automated software (Akismet) or by ourselves on review. It will also make it difficult for you to remove your comment from our website in future, as will struggle to verify ownership of the comment. We would recommend that you use a secondary email address with a non-identifiable address to protect your privacy.
  • Your comment. This is what you wish to say.

We will NEVER use the email address you supply to contact you directly UNLESS you specifically tick the box to enable notifications. These notifications are entirely automated and will include information on how to unsubscribe. If you wish for any comment you have made to be deleted and for us to stop storing the email address you provided, please contact us, using the email you have provided.

Please note, that as we are a business-to-business service provider (B2B), all of our communications are considered to be legitimate interests under GDPR. We not do not provide products or services directly to consumers.

Should you contact us requesting information about one of the services we offer, we ask you to provide us with a name and contact information (email and telephone). We will only store and use that data while necessary to discuss your requirements and/or provide you with a service. With your agreement, we may store your data so that we can follow up at a later date. We do NOT pass your data on to third parties without your explicit consent, nor will we add you to any mailing lists.

If we have had no contact with you in three months and you have not indicated you would like a follow-up conversation, then we will delete your data. You can always contact us again in the future if you wish. In the event you wish us to delete your data sooner, please contact us.

User-Optional Cookies

We deliver video content through the embedded Vimeo player to give you a quick rundown of our services, to provide useful information about business topics and to deliver video presentations. Vimeo requires a small amount of anonymised information about our users and their devices in order to deliver an optimised stream, secure their network, and ensure that both their service and our service is running at peak performance. You may choose to prevent the installation of the Vimeo cookie or manage your consent at a later date through Cookiebot. If you do so, the video player will be disabled and a message will appear where applicable to inform you that you must opt-in to our video content.

We regularly review our relationships with partner services, and only use those we are confident are willing to go the extra mile to protect our users.

Additionally, we use third-party products including Social Network buttons and widgets and RSS feed management tools (Feedburner). Should you make use of any of these functions offered by these products, some of the personal data you hold with the relevant service provider may be used in order to provide the requested functionality. We do not receive any of this data ourselves and have no means of storing or processing it. We would ask that you refer to their own Privacy Policies regarding how they process your data.
