Privacy Policy

This policy covers siliconglen.com and siliconglen.scot, including their www versions. Last updated: 21/09/2026.

Who we are

These sites are run by Siliconglen Ltd, registered in Scotland (company reference SC220464), registered office 5 South Charlotte Street, Edinburgh, EH2 4AN. You can contact us at craig@siliconglen.com. We are responsible for the personal information described in this policy.

Contact form

If you send a message through the contact form, we collect your name, email address and message. You can also choose to give your organisation, a topic and where you are. We use this information only to reply to you and to deal with your enquiry. Our lawful basis is our legitimate interest in responding to enquiries. The form is processed by Formspree, which may handle the data outside the UK. We keep messages for as long as needed to deal with your enquiry and for a reasonable period afterwards, and no longer than necessary.

Analytics

We use Umami, a cookie-free analytics service, to count visits and to see which pages are viewed, where visitors come from (the referring website), their country, and the type of browser, operating system and device they use. Umami does not use cookies, does not store personally identifiable information and does not track you across other websites. We use the counts only to understand how the site is used and to improve it.

Hosting and cookies

The site is hosted by GitHub Pages, which may record technical information such as IP addresses in order to deliver and secure the site. We do not set cookies on siliconglen.com, and there is no advertising on it.

Server logs

Our web server records IP addresses, the pages visited, browser details and the referring site. We use them to keep the site secure and to detect attacks, on the basis of our legitimate interest in security. We keep them for a limited period and no longer than necessary. An IP address can be personal data where it can be linked to a person.

Google Analytics

This site uses Google Analytics to help us understand how visitors use the site. It uses cookies and similar identifiers and sends information about your visit to Google, which may process it outside the UK. You can prevent this by blocking cookies in your browser settings or by installing the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on from tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.

Google advertising and your consent

Google and its partners use cookies and similar identifiers to show advertisements on this site. When you first visit, a message asks whether you consent to personalised advertising and to the storage of, and access to, information on your device. Personalised advertising depends on your choice. If you do not consent, Google may still use limited information, for example to show non-personalised ads and to detect invalid traffic. You can change or withdraw your choice at any time using the privacy and cookie settings link on the site. You can also manage personalised advertising at Google Ads Settings or opt out of some third-party advertising cookies at www.aboutads.info.

Search

The search box on this site uses Google Search, which may set cookies when you use it.

Sending information outside the UK

Some of the services above, including Google, Formspree, GitHub and Umami, may process information outside the UK. They rely on legal safeguards for those transfers, which they describe in their own privacy notices.

Your rights

You can ask us for a copy of the personal information we hold about you, ask us to correct or delete it, ask us to restrict or stop using it, and withdraw any consent you have given. To do any of these, email craig@siliconglen.com. If you are unhappy with how we handle your information, you can complain to the Information Commissioner's Office at ico.org.uk.

Changes

We may update this policy. The date at the top shows when it was last changed.
