Purpose

The purpose of this privacy policy (this 'Privacy Policy') is to inform users of this Site of the following:

  1. The personal data collected;
  2. Use of collected data;
  3. Who has access to the data collected;
  4. The rights of Site users; and
  5. The Site's cookie policy.

This Privacy Policy applies in addition to the terms and conditions of this Site.

GDPR

For users in the European Union, I adhere to the Regulation (EU) 2016/679 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 April 2016, known as the General Data Protection Regulation (the 'GDPR'). For users in the United Kingdom, I adhere to the GDPR as enshrined in the Data Protection Act 2018.

I have not appointed a Data Protection Officer as I do not fall within the categories of controllers and processors required to appoint a Data Protection Officer under Article 37 of the GDPR.

Consent

By using this Site users agree that they consent to the conditions set out in this Privacy Policy.

When the legal basis for processing your personal data is that you have provided your consent to that processing, you may withdraw your consent at any time. If you withdraw your consent, it will not make processing which we completed before you withdrew your consent unlawful.

You can withdraw your consent by contacting hello@alexhancock.co.uk

Legal Basis for Processing

I collect and process personal data about users in the EU only when I have a legal basis for doing so under Article 6 of the GDPR.

I rely on the following legal bases to collect and process the personal data of users in the EU:

  1. Users have provided their consent to the processing of their data for one or more specific purposes; and
  2. Processing of user personal data is necessary for us or a third party to pursue a legitimate interest. My legitimate interest is not overriden by the interests of fundamental rights and freedoms of users. My legitimate interest is to complete services to my clients.

Personal Data Collected

I only collect data that helps me achieve the purpose set out in this Privacy Policy. I will not collect any additional data beyond the data listed below without notifying you first.

Data Collected Automatically

When you visit and use this Site, the following information may be automatically collected and stored:

  1. IP address;
  2. Location;
  3. Hardware and software details;
  4. Clicked links; and
  5. Content viewed.

How Your Personal Data is Used

Data collected on this Site will only be used for the purposes specified in this Privacy Policy or indicated on the relevant pages of this Site. I will not use your data beyond what we disclose in this Privacy Policy.

The data we collect automatically is used to monitor traffic to this Site.

Who I Share Personal Data With

Employees

I may disclose user data to any employee or subcontractor who needs access to user data to achieve the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy.

Google Analytics

I may share user data including website page views and user behaviour with Google Analytics for the purpose of analysing trends to make improvements to this Site.

Other Disclosures

I will not sell or share your data with other third parties, except in the following cases:

  1. If the law requires it;
  2. If it is required for any legal proceeding;
  3. To prove or protect my legal rights.

If you follow hyperlinks from this Site to another Site, please note that I am not responsible for and have no control over their privacy policies and practices.

How Long I Store Personal Data

User data will be stored until the purpose the data was collected for has been achieved.

You will be notified if your data is kept for longer than this period.

How I Protect Your Personal Data

I use strong passwords and multi-factor authentication, I limit access to only those that need it, I do not keep data for longer than I need it and I take care to keep my screen privy to me.

While I take all reasonable precautions to ensure that user data is secure and that users are protected, there always remains the risk of harm. The Internet as a whole can be insecure at times and therefore I am unable to guarantee the security of user data beyond what is reasonably practical.

  1. Right to be informed;
  2. Right of access;
  3. Right to rectification;
  4. Right to erasure;
  5. Right to restrict processing;

  7. Right to object.

Children

I do not knowingly collect or use personally data from children under 16 years of age. If I learn that I have collected personal data from a child under 16 years of age, the personal data will be deleted as soon as possible. If a child under 16 years of age has provided us with personal data their parent or guardian may contact our privacy officer.
