Privacy
This site collects nothing about you. There is no form, no account, no sign-up and no analytics. The Companion Field Guide downloads directly.
What this page does not do
- It sets no cookies. Not on this page, not on the short
/guideaddress, and not on the guide file itself. - It runs no scripts. The page's own security policy is
default-src 'none', which forbids scripts outright — so there is no analytics, no tag manager and no tracking pixel, and none could be added without changing that policy. - It asks nothing of anyone else. The typefaces are served from this site rather than a font network, so loading the page does not tell a third party that you visited.
What the web server records
Like every web server, the machine serving this page keeps standard access logs: the IP address that made the request, the time, the page or file requested, and the browser's user-agent string. Those logs are created by the hosting provider, Infomaniak, in Switzerland, and exist to operate and secure the server. They are not used for analytics and are not combined with anything else. Infomaniak's handling of them is governed by its own data-confidentiality policy, linked above.
The guide itself
The Companion Field Guide is served as an ordinary file. Downloading it leaves a line in the server logs described above and nothing more. The file contains no tracking of any kind, and reading it tells this site nothing.
Your rights
Under UK data protection law you may ask what personal data is held about you, ask for it to be corrected or erased, object to its processing, or complain to the Information Commissioner's Office. In practice the only personal data connected with this site is what sits in the server logs described above.
Who is responsible
This site is run by Duncan McTavish, who is the data controller for it. Questions about this notice, or about anything above, go to hello@thesecondopinion.uk.
Changes to this notice
If this site ever starts collecting anything — an email address for the guide, for instance — this page will say so before it does, not after.
