Contact information
The only personal data actively collected on this site is what you choose to submit by email via the address on the contact page.

- No account creation, newsletter sign-up or login is required to read any content on this site.
Under UK data-protection law (UK GDPR) you may request access to, correction of, or deletion of any personal data held about you, and you may object to its processing.

Analytics
This site carries no advertising, no third-party ad trackers and no behavioural profiling. There are no first-party tracking or advertising cookies.
Like virtually all web servers, the host may record standard technical information — IP address, browser type, requested page, timestamp — as a routine operational necessity for security and fault diagnosis. These server logs are not used to build profiles of individual visitors and are retained only as long as required for those purposes.
Typefaces are loaded from Google Fonts, which may receive your IP address as a technical consequence of serving the font files. No cookies are set for this purpose by this site.
Third-party links
Pages on this site link to external services including ORCID, Google Scholar, PubMed, journal publishers, government statistical agencies and similar. Following any such link takes you to a site governed by its own privacy policy, over which this site has no control and for which it takes no responsibility.
External links are provided for reference and verification. They do not constitute an endorsement of the third party's data practices.
Updates
If this policy changes, the "last updated" date at the top of the page will be revised. Material changes — changes that affect how your data is used or what rights you have — will be noted explicitly on this page.
The aim of this site is to minimise data collection, not to expand it. Any future changes are expected to reflect that direction.
