Embedded content from other websites
Articles on this site may include embedded content such as videos, images, articles, and so on. Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.

Where your data is stored or sent
We store your personal data on our cloud-based hosting solution situated in the UK.
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service which may reside outside the UK.
How long we retain your data
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognise and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
If you register on our website, such as when purchasing support or training services from us, we also store the personal information you provide in your booking in our customer relationship system. This will also be held indefinitely.
What rights you have over your data
If you have registered with us, or have left comments, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us.
