Personal information collected by this website and why we collect it
Our company’s website collects and uses personal information for the following reasons:
Website visit tracking
Like most websites, our company’s website uses Google Analytics (GA) to track user interaction.
We use this data to determine the number of people using our website, to better understand how they find and use our web pages, and to see their journey through the website.
Although GA records data such as your geographical location, device, web browser, and operating system, none of this information personally identifies you.
GA also records your computer’s IP address, which could be used to identify you personally, but Google does not provide us with access to this.
We consider Google to be a third-party data processor.
GA uses cookies, details of which can be found in Google’s developer guides. Our website uses the GA analytics.js application.
Disabling cookies in your web browser will prevent GA from tracking any part of your visit to pages on this website.
Contact forms and submission of information
If you choose to contact us using the contact form on the Contact Us page or an email link like this one, none of the data you provide will be stored by this website or transferred to / processed by any third-party data processor.
Instead, the data will be compiled into an email and sent to us via the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP).
Our SMTP servers are protected by TLS (sometimes known as SSL), meaning that the email content is encrypted using SHA-2, 256-bit cryptography before being sent across the internet.
The email content is decrypted by our local computers and devices.
How we store your personal information
For browsing our company’s website, personal information is only required if you wish to contact us via the contact form, through which you provide your contact details, or as a customer of our online store.

Third-party data processors we use
