Privacy Policy
Information we collect via website cookies
When you visit the www.abbotshall.net, website, we (that is, Abbotshall Palaeography and the website host, Hostinger International plc) automatically collect certain information about your device, including information about your web browser, IP address, time zone, and some of the installed cookies on your device. Additionally, as you browse the website, information is collected about the individual web pages you view, what websites or search terms referred you to the Abbosthall Palaeography website, and how you interact and navigate through the website. Only minimal data is collected and processed: as much as is absolutely necessary to maintain the website and ensure that it is working correctly. Information collected automatically is used only to identify potential cases of abuse and establish statistical information regarding website use by users in general. This statistical information is not otherwise aggregated in such a way that it would identify any particular user.
You can visit the website without telling us who you are or revealing any information by which someone could identify you as a specific individual.
Information we collect when you contact us
If you contact Abbotshall Palaeography by email, either using the enquiries@abbotshall.net email address or a contact form on the website, you may provide personal data to us, such as your email, first name, last name, city of residence, organisation, telephone number. You can choose not to provide us with your personal data, but then you may not be able to contact us directly from the website or to enter into correspondence regarding services or other matters.
Personal information provided in the form of emails or other communication is kept by Abbotshall Palaeography for a period of one year and then destroyed, unless the communication leads to a commission or other instruction to Abbotshall Palaeography to carry out transcription work or provide some other service. In such a case, the emails or other communication is kept for a maximum period of seven years for accounting, tax and legal purposes.
Links to other websites
The Abbotshall Palaeography website contains links to other websites that are not owned or controlled by Abbotshall Palaeography. Please be aware that we are not responsible for such other websites or third parties' privacy practices. When you leave the Abbotshall Palaeography website and visit another website, we encourage you to read the privacy statement of that website, as it may collect personal information.
Information security and legal disclosure
We secure information you provide on computer servers in a controlled, secure environment, protected from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. We take reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect against unauthorized access, use, modification, and personal data disclosure in its control and custody.
We will disclose any information we collect, use or receive if required or permitted by law, such as to comply with a legal process, and when we believe in good faith that disclosure is necessary to protect our rights, protect your safety or the safety of others, investigate fraud, or respond to a government request.
Making a complaint
If you feel that we have failed to meet privacy standards, please contact Abbotshall Palaeography at enquiries@abbotshall.net in the first instance. If your complaint is not resolved to your satisfaction, you can then complain directly to the Information Commissioner.
