What we collect, and what we do with it
We are a small family aviary, not a marketing operation. We collect what we need to arrange your
visit and get a bird home to you, and nothing is sold or shared for advertising.
Last updated 27 August 2026.
What we collect
When you book an appointment. Your name, phone number, email address, how many people
are coming, the bird you are asking about if you name one, and anything you write in the notes box.
We use it to confirm the appointment, send you the details, and contact you if something changes.
When you join the waiting list. The form is a Google Form, and what you type goes into
our Google account. We use it to get in touch when a matching bird comes along.
When you use the contact-message form. This is also a Google Form. The name, contact
details, and message you submit go into our Google account so we can reply and follow up on your inquiry.
When you leave a review. Your name, your city, a rating, your comments, and a photo if
you choose to add one. Reviews are published on this site, so please only submit what you are happy
to have shown publicly.
When you simply read the site. A random identifier is stored in your browser so repeat
visits are not counted twice, together with which pages were opened, roughly which country the request
came from, whether it was a phone or a desktop, and which links were clicked. There is no name attached
to any of it.
Where it goes
We do not sell or rent your details, and we do not use them for advertising. The services below handle
data on our behalf because the site is built on them:
- Neocities — hosts the website itself.
- Cloudflare — runs the booking system, stores bookings and review photos, and
provides the anti-bot check on our forms.
- Google — the waiting-list and contact-message forms, the spreadsheet behind our bird list, the account
that sends your confirmation email, the web fonts, the embedded map, and website measurement.
- Apple iCloud — a confirmed appointment is written into our own private calendar,
which includes your name and the time.
- YouTube — the videos embedded on our video page are served by YouTube, which sets
its own cookies when a video is played.
Photos you send us
A photo attached to a review is published with it. If you send us a photo another way and we would like
to use it on the site, we will ask first. Either way you can tell us to take it down afterwards and we
will, without needing a reason.
Not being counted
If you would rather not appear in our page statistics at all, open any page once with
?noping=1 on the end of the address and that browser stops being counted for good.
?noping=0 puts it back.
Seeing or deleting what we hold
Email kensington.aviary@gmail.com and ask. We will tell
you what we have about you, correct it, or delete it. There is no form to fill in.
Children
This site is meant for adults arranging a visit or a purchase. We do not knowingly collect information
from children. Families are of course welcome to visit together.
