Types of Information we collect and why.
Non-personal information is anonymous data that cannot be attributed to a specific user. This is often details of a visitor’s web browser, the type of device they’re using, the screen resolution and how much time they spent on a webpage. We routinely collect non-personal information from our visitors. This enables us to optimize our websites and improve the end-user experience.
Personal Information is information that can be used to identify an individual, either directly or indirectly. Notable examples of this would be your name and date of birth, an email address or your physical address. This could be, for example, if you create an account with us (if the option is available) or sign up for a newsletter. We will collect personal information from you, the user, only if you voluntarily submit such information, giving us your consent to use it.
Users can always refuse to supply personal information and browse our site anonymously, whilst accepting that it may prevent them from engaging in certain site-related activities, such as leaving a comment on an article.
Sensitive information can include data such as your gender, sexuality, height and weight, your political or religious beliefs, and any criminal convictions. We do not collect sensitive information on our websites.Only if you, the user, willingly submit such information (for example, you mention your weight in an article comment) will we be in possession of sensitive information. Any requests by us for such information will require you, the user, to consent to our processing such data. Sharing your personal information
We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information to others, nor do we share your personal information with any companies we may be affiliated to.
