GDPR & Data Handling

1. Introduction and Principles

We never request personal or sensitive data, nor do we perform any data collection or financial transactions in any form.
We do not use Google Analytics 4, Facebook Pixel, or any other tracking scripts or services for profiling or monitoring user behaviour.
If anyone acts on our behalf to make such requests or deploy tracking codes, this constitutes fraud and is a criminal offence.

1.1. Lawfulness, Fairness and Transparency

We process personal data only on the basis of your voluntary, explicit consent, with full transparency, in compliance with the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018.

1.2. Contact and Communications

We will never approach you by email, telephone or post to send marketing or commercial offers. We do not send newsletters—our site is for reading only.

1.3. Safe Browsing and Vigilance

We encourage everyone to browse responsibly and securely. If you encounter any unusual or suspicious request, do not disclose your data and seek guidance from a reliable source.

4. Further Processing and Data-Subject Rights

4.1. Advance Notice of Additional Processing

We will notify you in writing before carrying out any further processing beyond what is set out herein, specifying its legal basis, purpose, data categories and retention period.

4.2. Processors and Recipients

• Processors: We share data only with contracted partners bound by confidentiality, solely for storage purposes.
• Recipients: Data is disclosed to third parties only where required by law or with your explicit consent.

4.3. Your Rights

Under the UK GDPR and Data Protection Act 2018, you have the right to:

• Withdraw consent at any time
• Access your personal data and processing details
• Rectify inaccurate data
• Restrict processing
• Request erasure (“right to be forgotten”)
• Object to processing
• Data portability

To exercise these rights, we must verify your identity using existing data we hold. Submit your request by email; we will respond within 30 days.

5. Right to Withdraw Consent

We guarantee you may withdraw your consent at any time. Upon withdrawal, we will promptly erase all data we hold about you. There are no adverse consequences, as our site does not involve any purchases or financial transactions—data is retained only for the time needed to process your contact request.

6. Right of Access

You may inquire whether we are processing your data and request access to:

• The purposes of processing
• Categories of data held
• Recipients or recipient categories
• Intended retention periods
• Your rights (rectification, erasure, restriction, objection, portability)
• Complaint procedures
• Source of data if not obtained directly from you
• Details of any automated decision-making or profiling

We will verify your identity before fulfilling access requests. Please email us; we will reply within 30 days.

7. Right to Rectification

We will promptly correct any inaccurate personal data we hold about you upon request. If you spot an error, notify us and we will amend it without delay.

8. Right to Restrict Processing

You may ask us to restrict processing where one of the following applies:

1. You contest the accuracy of your data.
2. Processing is unlawful but you oppose erasure and request restriction instead.
3. We no longer need the data for its original purpose, but you require it for legal claims.
4. You have objected to processing pending a determination of whether our legitimate interests override yours.

Restricted data will be kept only for storage and only used for the purposes you specify. We will inform you at least three working days before lifting any restriction.

9. Right to Erasure (“Right to be Forgotten”)

We will erase your personal data without undue delay where any of these apply:

• Data are no longer necessary for the purpose collected
• You withdraw consent and no other legal basis exists
• You object to legitimate-interest processing and no overriding reason exists
• Processing is unlawful
• Erasure is required by UK or EU law

Exceptions: We will not erase data necessary for legal compliance (e.g. billing records). If data must be erased across other systems, we will take reasonable technical measures to notify third parties.

10. Right to Object

You may object at any time to processing based on our legitimate interests, unless we can demonstrate compelling grounds for continuing (e.g. legal claims or public interest).
Where processing is for direct marketing—including profiling—you have an absolute right to object, and we will cease such processing immediately.

11. Right to Data Portability

Where processing is carried out by automated means and based on consent or contract, you have the right to receive your personal data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format (e.g. XML, JSON or CSV) and to transmit it to another controller, where technically feasible.

12. Automated Decision-Making and Profiling

We do not undertake any automated decision-making (including profiling) that produces legal effects or similarly significantly affects you.
If we were to implement such processes, we would ensure you have the right to human intervention, to express your views and to challenge the decision.
Automated decision-making may only be used where:

1. Necessary for entering into or performing a contract;
2. Authorised by law; or
3. You give explicit consent.

13. Remedies

If you believe your data protection rights have been infringed or we have not complied with your request, you may:

• Lodge a complaint with the UK Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) at Wycliffe House, Water Lane, Wilmslow, Cheshire SK9 5AF; email: casework@ico.org.uk; phone: +44 303 123 1113.
• Seek judicial remedy through the courts.

14. Amendments to This Privacy Notice

We reserve the right to amend this Notice in a manner that does not affect the purposes or legal basis of our processing.
Continued use of the website after any changes constitutes acceptance of the updated Notice.
Should we plan any new processing for purposes other than those originally stated, we will notify you in writing in advance, outlining the legal basis, purpose, data categories and retention period.
