This notice explains how Fred Duncombe collects, uses and protects your personal information when you visit our site. We are committed to safeguarding your privacy and complying with the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018.
Scope of this notice
This policy applies to information collected through fredduncombe.co.uk. It covers data you provide directly and data generated automatically during your visit. If you follow a link to another website, that site's own privacy terms will apply.
Categories of information we collect
We collect technical data generated by your browser, including your IP address, the pages you view, the time of your visit and the device you use. If you contact us by email, we collect your email address and the content of your message. We do not ask for payment details, postal addresses or telephone numbers.
Cookies and similar technologies may record your preferences and session information. You can read more about how we use cookies in our cookie policy.
Lawful basis for processing
We process your personal data on the basis of legitimate interests – specifically, to operate an information portal, respond to enquiries and understand how visitors use the site. Where we rely on legitimate interests, we have balanced our needs against your rights and freedoms.
When you contact us, we process your message to fulfil your request, which constitutes performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in response to your initiated communication.
Who else sees your data
We use third-party services to host the site and analyse traffic. These processors may be located outside the UK but are bound by agreements that require them to protect your information to UK GDPR standards. We do not sell or rent personal data to anyone.
We may disclose information if required by law or to protect the rights and safety of our site, our users or others.
Your rights and how to exercise them
Under UK GDPR, you have the right to access the personal data we hold about you, to rectify inaccuracies, to erase your data in certain circumstances, to restrict or object to processing, and to data portability where applicable. To exercise any of these rights, email us at [email protected] with details of your request.
We will respond within one month. If you are not satisfied with our response, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) at ico.org.uk.
How long we keep your data
Technical logs are retained for up to 12 months. Email correspondence is kept for as long as necessary to address your enquiry, then archived or deleted. Aggregated, anonymised analytics data may be retained indefinitely because it no longer identifies you.
Children and minors
Our site is intended for a general audience and does not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we become aware that we have inadvertently gathered such data, we will delete it promptly.
Changes to this policy
We may update this privacy notice from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or legal obligations. The revised version will be posted on this page with an updated effective date. We encourage you to review this notice periodically.
This is an information site. We do not sell goods or services.
