We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes to this Privacy Policy are effective when they are posted on this page.

This summary is not part of the Privacy Policy, but is intended to provide a simpler and shorter summary - ideally in plain speak!
We use Google Analytics to monitor web traffic and usage of our Website. As a data-related blog, we may use this data to do showcases and show how data can be used.
Information collected through Google Analytics is anonymised and aggregated, meaning personal identifiers, including names, addresses and IP addresses, are not visible in the reports. However, Your general geolocation, Device and web browser may be included in aggregated data provided in these reports.
It is also against Google Analytic’s Terms of Use for Us to link Google Analytics data to other personal details, such as Your Address. So therefore we can’t do any crazy data magic with these details!
We also use third-party embedded content, which has tracking cookies and technologies and helps keep their services free for us to use. We don’t control what tracking technologies they use or nor get access to the data they collect.
From what we’ve observed, these third parties use the tracking cookies and technologies in the following way:
Session data so the browser remembers your preferences
Website visitor behaviour for Google advertising purposes
Github Gists:
We do not sell any Personal Data as part of this Service and do not make any money off advertising. The point of this blog is to democratise data and showcase some of the data work we’ve done.
I have actually written a blog post about how Google Analytics and Advertising work. Please check it out if you are curious about this topic!
