Your privacy and your trust are important

It’s a reality that no electronic transmission of information via the internet is a hundred percent secure. The same is true for electronic storage of data and information.

What we can control is the care we take care with your Personal Information (PI) and Personally Identifiable Information (PII). The bottom line is that we are committed to protecting the privacy of people (“visitors”) who visit this website, and the privacy of individuals who complete contact forms to explore services and potential collaborations. We take care to prevent loss, alteration or misuse of your personal information.

Cookies and analytics

In this context, a cookie is a small string of data. It typically includes a unique, anonymous identifier that is transmitted from a website server to your browser. When we access Website A, its cookies are stored on our computer’s hard drive. Then, if we use that same browser to access Website A at a future point, our browser accesses and returns the same data string to that website’s server.

There are different types of cookies. Session cookies are finite; they expire when you close your browser. Other cookies have expiration dates, and will remain in your hard drive until (a) their expiration date, or (b) you delete them. These are known as persistent cookies. Visitors to this website can reject cookies and still use the website but, as is the case with websites in general, blocking cookies can limit usability of some aspects of a website.

This website is published on WordPress, and uses social media and Google Analytics to analyse website usage.

As is the case with many websites, certain information that does not identify individual visitors is automatically gathered and stored. We access this data to understand demographic information about our user base.

Third party websites

Some of this website’s pages and posts includes hyperlinks to third party websites. We have no control over the privacy policies and practices of third parties, and are not responsible for their practices and policies.
