Information about visitors

You do not need to register or provide personal details to browse this website. I do not maintain a database of individual visitors, create visitor profiles or sell visitors’ personal information.

Google Analytics tracking is disabled.

Hosting and security

The website is hosted by Fasthosts. Hosting and security systems may process technical information, including IP addresses, pages requested, browser details, access times and errors.

This information supports website delivery, fault diagnosis and protection against misuse. The lawful basis for this processing is the legitimate interest in maintaining a functioning and secure website.

Technical records are retained according to the relevant service settings and for the period needed for operational, security or legal purposes. You may contact me for further information about the applicable arrangements.

Cookies

WordPress uses cookies for administrator login and to remember administration settings. These support management of the website.

Google Analytics cookies are no longer intentionally placed by this website. Cookies previously placed in your browser may remain until they expire or you delete them.

You can manage, block or delete cookies through your browser settings. Blocking login cookies may prevent access to the WordPress administration area.

Externally supplied content

The website loads MathJax software from jsDelivr to display mathematical notation. When your browser requests externally supplied resources, the provider receives technical information, including your IP address and details needed to deliver the resource.

External services have their own privacy arrangements. Some may process information outside the UK. Where international transfer requirements apply, appropriate safeguards are required under UK data protection law. You may contact me for information about arrangements relevant to your visit.

Email correspondence

The website publishes my university email address but does not itself provide an email service or store email correspondence.

If you contact me through my university or personal email account, I receive your email address and any information you choose to include. I use this information to respond and manage related correspondence.

The lawful basis for ordinary enquiries is my legitimate interest in responding to communications about my work. Correspondence is retained only as long as reasonably needed to address the enquiry, maintain relevant records or meet legal obligations.

Please avoid sending sensitive personal information unless necessary.

Your rights and enquiries

Depending on the circumstances, you may have rights to access, correct or erase personal information held about you, restrict its use, object to processing or receive a portable copy. Where processing relies on consent, you may withdraw that consent.

For privacy enquiries or requests, contact:
