Analytics
When you visit www.paulgroganphotography.co.uk, we use a third-party service, Google Analytics, to collect standard internet log information and details of visitors behaviour patterns. We do this to find out such things as the number of visitors to the various parts of the site. This information is only processed in a way that does not directly identify anyone. We do not make and do not allow Google to make, any attempt to find out the identities of those visiting our website. As this is a third-party service, this potentially means that data may be stored outside of the UK.
We apply UK data protection law and the GDPR conditions to our processing.
If we do collect personal data through our website, we will be upfront about this. We will make it clear when we collect personal information, and we will explain what we intend to do with it.
