Summary
This website is a set of static pages. It does not ask you to register, it sets no cookies of its own, and it has no database in which to keep anything about you. The only way you can send us information is by writing to the editorial email address, and then we hold only the email you sent.
What we collect
Nothing is collected through the pages themselves. There is no sign up, no comment system, no newsletter and no advertising network on this site. The contact form on the contact page does not transmit anything to us: it opens a message in your own email program, and the message is sent by you, through your own email provider.
If you write to us, we receive what you put in the message: your email address, your name if you give it, and the content. We use it to answer you and to correct the site where needed.
Cookies
This site sets no cookies and uses no analytics or tracking scripts. Your browser may store the page files themselves in its ordinary cache, which is a browser function and not something this site controls or reads.
Hosting and server logs
The site is served by a hosting provider. Like essentially all web servers, the provider's software records technical request data such as IP address, time, requested address and browser identification string. These logs exist for security and for keeping the server running. They are held by the hosting provider under its own retention policy and are not combined with anything else or used to build a profile.
Links to other sites
Articles link to sources and to organisers' own pages. Once you follow such a link you are on someone else's site, under their privacy policy. We have no control over and no visibility of what those sites do.
Your correspondence
Email we receive is kept while it is useful for answering you and for maintaining a record of corrections to the site. If you want your messages deleted from our mailbox, ask in writing to the address on the contact page and say which messages.
Children
The guide publishes material intended to be useful to young collectors and the adults helping them, but it is not directed at children as a service and it never asks any visitor for personal details.
Changes
If this policy changes, the date at the top of this page changes with it. Nothing is backdated.
