Bot protection (Cloudflare Turnstile)
We use Cloudflare Turnstile on our contact form to help distinguish human visitors from automated bots and to reduce spam and abuse. Turnstile is configured in invisible mode, so the check runs in the background and you will not normally see a challenge widget.
When Turnstile runs, Cloudflare may process limited technical signals from your browser and connection. According to Cloudflare, those signals can include information such as IP address, TLS fingerprint, user-agent header, and the Turnstile sitekey and associated origin. Cloudflare states that it does not have the ability to directly identify individuals from those signals, and that they are used to detect and block bots rather than to profile or target people for advertising.
For the purpose of protecting this website, we are the data controller and Cloudflare acts as a data processor of those signals on our instructions. Cloudflare may also process the same signals as a controller where it uses them to improve Turnstile’s bot detection capabilities.
Further detail about how Cloudflare processes Turnstile data is set out in Cloudflare’s Turnstile Privacy Addendum and its main Privacy Policy.

The data that we collect from you may be transferred to, and stored at, a destination outside the European Economic Area (“EEA”).

Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure.
