[Privacy Statement] I, Owen Birnie, am committed to maintaining and safeguarding the privacy of users of this website. This statement sets out how I will manage your data and as a consequence, I think that it is slightly different. I may vary this statement from time-to-time. This statement dates from 2026-08-26. [Use of this website] The website does not use cookies. Period. I conduct no performance analysis, user-experience, profiling or tracking of your device. No part of this website requires registration to use. I do not collect information from this site nor do I conduct any analysis of log files except for detecting problems with the website such as finding bad links. [Use of e-mail] Anybody may voluntarily submit information to me by e-mail. I use automated filtering on my e-mail to detect fraudulent, criminal and unsolicited commercial e-mail. In some rare cases, legitimate e-mail may get flagged by my filter and may fail to get delivered. I will take steps to minimise this to ensure the safe delivery of all legitimate e-mail. E-mail submitted to me will remain a legitimate, recoverable record for 7+1 years. (This means that it will remain accessible for the remainder of the current fiscal year plus a further seven years. Thus if you send us an e-mail in July, 2020, we will be able to access it until March 2028. This is calculated on the basis of the remainder of the current fiscal year, which takes us to March 2021, plus another seven years.) My e-mail is hosted on a hardened G-Suite account. I have a variety of methods of ensuring that e-mail use is and remains secure. You can download my OpenPGP key here. My e-mail is configured properly, and if a mail server supports it, 100% of fake and spoofed e-mail will be rejected. [Unsolicited commercial e-mail (or spam)] I do not undertake any automated or bulk direct marketing activities. I do not operate an opt-in marketing list either. All of these things are wrong in my view.
