2.2 Data Controller

Andrew Temple is the data controller for this website. The data controller is responsible for deciding how and why personal data is processed.

2.3 What Data We Collect

We collect very limited information:

• Website analytics data: Through Simple Analytics, we collect non-personal, anonymised data about your visit, including:
  • Pages you visit
  • Referrer information (where you came from)

Voluntary Information:

2.4 How We Use Your Data

We use collected data for the following purposes:

• To understand how visitors use our website
• To improve website functionality and user experience
• To monitor website performance
• To respond to any emails you send us

2.5 Legal Basis for Processing

Under UK GDPR, we process data on the following legal bases:

• Legitimate Interests (Article 6(1)(f)): We have a legitimate interest in understanding how our website is used and improving it. This is balanced against your right to privacy, and we minimise data collection to achieve this.
• Consent (Article 6(1)(a)): Any personal data you voluntarily provide (such as through email) is processed with your implicit consent.

2.6 Data Retention

• Analytics data: Retained indefinitely by Simple Analytics unless you request deletion
• Email communications: Retained for as long as necessary to respond to your inquiry, typically no longer than 1 year unless further correspondence is needed

2.7 Who We Share Your Data With

We do not sell, trade, or share your data with third parties, with the exception of:

• Simple Analytics: Our analytics provider, which processes anonymised, non-personal data. Simple Analytics does not transfer your visitors’ data outside of the EU.

We have no formal data processing agreement with Simple Analytics because it does not process personal data, these roles do not apply in the same way.

2.8 Your Rights Under UK GDPR

Under UK GDPR, you have the following rights:

• Right of access: You can request what information we hold about you
• Right to rectification: You can ask us to correct inaccurate data
• Right to erasure: You can request deletion of your data
• Right to restrict processing: You can ask us to limit how we use your data
• Right to data portability: You can request your data in a portable format
• Right to object: You can object to how we process your data
• Right to withdraw consent: If you’ve given consent, you can withdraw it at any time

However, because we only collect anonymised analytics data that cannot be linked to you as an individual, many of these rights may not be applicable.
