Privacy Policy

Privacy matters but it can be confusing. This page explains my approach to privacy on all of my websites and how it affects you.
Short version
I collect anonymous statistics about your visit to my websites, like which pages you viewed. If you sign up with me, I take great care to keep your information safe and will never share it with others without your express permission. I never share your data with 3rd parties except to help me deliver my own services.
These are just the key points. If you need detail, keep reading.
What information do I collect?
I collect information from you when you fill out a form. I track all visits to the site, I am aware of your location, service provider, browser, and the keywords that you used to get here.
Do I disclose any information to outside parties?
I do not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer to outside parties your personally identifiable information. I may release your information when I believe release is appropriate to comply with the law, enforce my site policies, or protect myself or others rights, property, or safety. However, non-personally identifiable visitor information may be provided to other parties for marketing, advertising, or other uses.
Third party links:
Occasionally, at my discretion, I may include or offer third party products or services on my website. These third party sites have separate and independent privacy policies. I therefore have no responsibility or liability for the content and activities of these linked sites. Nonetheless, I seek to protect the integrity of my site and welcome any feedback about these sites.
Measuring visitors:
I measure visitors to websites and products using Google Analytics. This service records what pages you view within the site, how you arrived at the site and some basic information about your computer. Google Analytics data is anonymized – so I don’t know who you are; just that somebody visited the site. The information collected helps me understand what parts of the site are doing well, how people arrive at the site and so on. Like most websites, this information is used to make websites better. You can learn more about Google Analytics or opt out if you wish. Google Analytics data is automatically deleted 26 months after your last visit.
My websites sometimes include videos hosted by YouTube. They record anonymous, aggregated statistics that help optimize video content (e.g. at which points in the video are people most likely to stop watching).
Emails:
I may send you email notifications regarding your service (such as invoices) or which you have specifically requested (such as newsletters or notifications when a report is completed). You have the ability to opt out of any of this communication at any time. If you email me, this communication is stored in Gmail. Your email address, name and any other information contained in your message will be stored by them. I will never provide your personal information or email address to any third parties except where they are specifically employed to help deliver my own services, as detailed above.
Paying for my services:
I prefer to accept payments through secure eTransfers directly from your online bank account to mine however, when paying by credit card I recommend secure payments through PayPal.me.
Security:
I take many precautions to prevent the loss, misuse or alteration of your personal information. These precautions include:
Use of SSL encryption for sensitive data.
Hardware stored in secured data centers behind firewalls.
All access to information restricted by password and/or secure key.
Restrictions to what information can be accessed via any location
Whilst I do take great care to ensure any confidential information remains protected no one can guarantee the security of data sent over the Internet. Of course you are responsible for keeping your password and user details confidential. I will ever ask you for your password, so please don’t trust anybody asking you for it.
Terms and Conditions:
Use this website at will and please respect the copyright notices.
Your Consent:
By using this site, you consent to my privacy policy.
Updates to this policy:
I may update this privacy policy from time-to-time, particularly as technology changes. You can always check this page for the latest version. I may also notify you of changes to our privacy policy by email.
Any questions?
If you have any questions about this privacy policy or your personal data, please contact me by email.
