Who we are
This website, as hosted at research.siga.la, has been created and is maintained by Paul Trafford (see, e.g., his Academia profile).
What personal data we collect and why we collect it
This site is composed at home using WordPress with only a handful of plugins and then converted into a series of static web pages. We do not collect or process user data, though there may be third party services that do (see especially the note about embedded content below).
Comments
We do not at this time collect comments through this site.
The site owner may be contacted by email via zzzz&siga.la (replace ‘zzzz’ by ‘info’). Subject to the relevant legal authority, such emails will be treated as private unless otherwise mutually agreed.
Embedded content from other websites
A potential source for user tracking is through embedded content originating from third parties. Our policy is to minimise dependence on such content by incorporating as far as reasonably practical all the necessary functionality in the site itself.
Embedded content is generally of two kinds. The first are technical presentational elements such as fonts that are used to build the page. Whilst in theory they might be used for tracking, this is not known as a significant issue. The other kind are informational (e.g. videos, slideshows, images, articles, etc.), where significant behaviour is determined by the other websites. Please check these sites for their policies. These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.
Currently there are no pages on this site that embed informational content from external sites, only links that we aim to clearly signpost.
Analytics
Standard Apache httpd web access logs are generated for research.siga.la, which includes IP addresses and user agents. However, currently we only use them except for debugging the website’s functionality.
Additional information
If we change the above, e.g. to make use of analytics for user behaviour, then this page will be updated as necessary. Where analytics is to be used, it should only be with properly anonymised data.
