Information you provide

If you contact Stephen Ottewell Advisory, we may receive the information you choose to provide, such as your name, email address, organisation and the contents of your enquiry. This information is used only to respond to you, manage the professional relationship and meet any applicable legal or administrative requirements.

Website analytics

We use Independent Analytics to understand how the website is used. It records aggregated information including page views, visitor numbers, referring websites, browser and device type, and approximate country, region or city.

The analytics system runs on this website and does not send analytics data to an external analytics service. It does not use tracking cookies. A visitor’s IP address is used temporarily to determine approximate location and to create a one-way hashed visitor identifier; the raw IP address is not stored in the analytics database. Geographic information is approximate and cannot identify a precise address.

Technical and security data

The website host and security systems may process technical information such as IP addresses, browser details and server logs where necessary to operate, protect and troubleshoot the website.

How information is used and retained

Information is used to operate and improve the website, understand audience interest, respond to enquiries and protect the site. It is retained only for as long as reasonably necessary for those purposes and is not sold.

Your choices and rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights concerning personal information held about you, including rights of access, correction or deletion. To make a request or ask a privacy question, email stephen@stephenottewell.com.
