2. Information we collect
Information you give us
When you use the contact form we collect the details you type in: your name, email address, phone number (optional), the subject and your message. We also record the IP address the message was sent from, to help us prevent spam and misuse.
Information collected automatically
- Visitor counter. A small cookie (
jd_visit) lasting about 30 minutes lets us count a visit once rather than on every page view. It contains no personal information. - Your preferences. Your browser stores your light/dark theme choice and whether you have already seen our announcement pop-up. This stays on your device.
- Technical logs. Like most websites, our servers may keep standard logs (such as IP address, browser type and the pages requested) for security and to keep the site running.
- Analytics. If website analytics (such as Google Analytics) are switched on, they collect aggregated information about how visitors use the site.
3. How we use your information
- To read and reply to your enquiry, including questions about volunteering, visits, collaborations and donations in kind.
- To run, secure and improve this website.
- To meet our legal and accounting obligations as a registered society.
We do not sell your personal information, and we do not use it to send marketing messages you have not asked for.
4. Third-party services
Some content on this website is provided by other companies, who may receive technical information such as your IP address and browser details when that content loads:
- Google Fonts — the typefaces used across the site.
- Google Maps — the map in the contact section.
- YouTube — videos, loaded only when you choose to play one.
These services have their own privacy policies, which we encourage you to read.

This website does not take card or bank details and does not process payments. If you would like to support our work, please contact our administrative office using the details on the Contact section of the home page.
6. Sharing your information
We share personal information only with people who need it to handle your enquiry, with service providers who help us run the website (under appropriate confidentiality), or where the law or a public authority requires it.
7. How long we keep it
Messages sent through the contact form are kept for as long as is needed to deal with your enquiry and for our records, and are then deleted or anonymised.
8. Security
We take reasonable technical and organisational steps to protect information against loss, misuse and unauthorised access. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.
9. Your choices and rights
You may ask us to tell you what personal information we hold about you, to correct it, or to delete it, and you may withdraw any consent you have given.
