We welcome users to publicly comment on certain items posted on this site. We will apply a comments moderation policy to all comments submitted. Submitting a comment does not guarantee that it will be accepted for posting publicly. In our absolute discretion, we will reject (and delete) comments that are profane, abusive, defamatory, disparaging, unnecessarily argumentative, made in bad faith, misleading, or otherwise inappropriate for a public forum. Content must be original and not infringe any intellectual property rights of third parties. Comments must be relevant to the topic, and constructive in tone and content.
You agree that we have a perpetual, irrevocable, royalty free licence to display your comment on the relevant page of this website, which will continue to be publicly accessible. Your authorship will be attributed by the username you submit.
The email address that you are asked to submit will not be published online. We ask for an email address to help identify who is making a comment, and to be able to contact you in response if required.
When visitors leave comments, we collect the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection. Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service. (A link to our spam detection service’s data collection notice is displayed underneath the comments box.)
If you leave a public comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely, on the basis that they add value to, and become part of, the relevant item posted on this website. This is also so we can recognise and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue. If we want us to delete a comment you have made, let us know and we will.
If you contact us via our contact form, we collect the information and contact details that you provide, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection.
We will retain the information for the purpose of responding to any enquiries or messages. If the information is relevant to our practice, we may enter it on our practice management system and retain it for the purpose of our relevant client file.
We will not otherwise retain information for more than 1 year if its purpose has been fulfilled or is no longer required.
If you subscribe to our email update, we will collect your name and email only for the purpose of adding you to our email distribution list. You may unsubscribe at any time by clicking on the link at the foot of each email sent, or by otherwise contacting us directly.
