What personal data we collect and why we collect it

Contact forms

Names and email addresses that are submitted either via the mailing list form on our website, or collected on sign-in sheets at our events are retained and used to email or post invitations to our events.

Information submitted via a contact form on the Contact Us page including name, phone number, and email address is retained for one year for customer service purposes only. Your personal data is not shared with third parties, nor is it used for marketing purposes.

Embedded content from other websites

Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.) Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.

These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.

Analytics

Google Analytics is installed on this site, however we only use aggregated data reports and no individual user data is collected.

MailChimp emails contain trackable links that collect data including whether emails are opened and whether links are clicked. Data about members of our mailing list is retained by MailChimp, including email addresses, first and last names, emails opened, links clicked, and the approximate location of users. More information is available on the MailChimp website here.

RedJanet Web Design uses the AWStats tool to analyse non-identifying data about visits and links to this website. More information is available on the AWStats website here.

RedJanet Web Design also uses the Wordfence security plugin which collects non-identifying data about all visits to our pages. More information is available on the Wordfence Privacy Policy page.
