What personal data we collect and why we collect it

By default WordPress does not collect any personal data about visitors, and only collects the data shown on the User Profile screen from registered users.

The only personal Data collected on this website is the information shared with us directly through contact form by the visitor/user of the site. The contact form, if there is one, does not collect or store any IP addresses or PII (personal identifiable information). The information you share with us is directly by choice and is only used to be able to assist you with your enquiry. This information is not shared with or sold to any third party, it is managed with the upmost confidentiality and only shared with the intended recipient/staff of our company.

Comments

We have currently not made the option of leaving comments available on our website, we will be sure to update our privacy policy as soon as, or if we do so, therefore we do not collect any PII information or IP addresses for any purposes.

If comments gets activated then when visitors leave comments on the site WordPress automatically may collect the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection.

An anonymised string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.
