Privacy Policy

We keep it simple. We do not sell your data. Last updated March 2026.

What We Collect

When you submit an application or contact us, we collect the information you provide directly — your name, email address, and any details you include in your message or application. When you subscribe to our newsletter, we collect your email address. We also collect basic, anonymised analytics data about how visitors use this site, such as which pages are visited and approximate geographic region. This analytics data cannot be used to identify you personally.

How We Use It

We use the information you submit to process your application, respond to your enquiries, and communicate with you about your membership. We use your email address to send the newsletter you signed up for. We use anonymised analytics to understand how the site is being used so we can improve it. We do not use your information for automated decision-making or profiling beyond the normal review of membership applications.

What We Do Not Do

We do not sell your personal information to anyone. We do not share it with third parties except where necessary to operate the site — for example, our email newsletter is handled by MailerLite, and our site is hosted on Cloudflare. These providers are contractually bound to protect your data and may only use it to provide their services to us. We do not permit them to use your data for their own marketing.

Cookies and Tracking

This site uses minimal cookies. Our analytics provider uses a privacy-first approach and does not set tracking cookies or fingerprint individual users. If you subscribe to the newsletter, a session cookie may be set by our email provider to confirm your subscription. No advertising or cross-site tracking cookies are used on this site.

Your Rights

You may request a copy of the personal data we hold about you, ask us to correct any inaccuracies, or ask us to delete your data. You may unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time using the link in any newsletter email. To exercise any of these rights, contact us through the admission form on this site and we will respond promptly.

Data Retention

We retain application data for as long as necessary to process your application and, if you become a member, for the duration of your membership. Newsletter subscriber data is retained until you unsubscribe. Analytics data is aggregated and retained in anonymised form indefinitely for historical analysis.

Security

We take reasonable steps to protect your information, including using encrypted connections across the site. No system is perfectly secure, but we work to keep your data safe and will notify you promptly if we become aware of any breach that affects your personal information.
