Controller and contact
Alderwick Court Media Ltd. is the controller for personal information handled for this website. Its registered address is 27 Wrenmere Lane, Brackenfold, Leeds, LS7 3QJ, United Kingdom. Send privacy enquiries to [email protected], with “Privacy request” in the subject where convenient. You do not need to use a particular form to exercise your rights.
Information collected
Browsing requires ordinary technical communications with the hosting infrastructure. These can include an IP address, requested page, request time, browser information and error details. Such information is used to deliver pages, diagnose faults and protect the service, rather than to build advertising profiles.
The contact form checks information within your browser and passes a draft to your email application. The website does not submit that form to a server. If you send the email, the publisher receives your name, email address, message and associated email metadata. Please avoid unnecessary sensitive information or personal information about other people.
Purposes and legal bases
Responding to enquiries, assessing corrections and maintaining site security are pursued on the basis of legitimate interests, subject to your rights and reasonable expectations. Information may also be processed to meet a legal obligation, including responding to a valid data protection request. Where optional storage requires consent, that consent is requested separately and can be withdrawn.
The site does not offer user accounts, advertising profiles or automated decisions with legal or similarly significant effects. Contact details are not used to enrol correspondents in marketing lists.
Browser storage and processors
A localStorage record remembers your cookie choice in your browser. It contains category choices, a policy version and a timestamp, rather than your name or email. It is read by the site's script and is not sent to a consent-record server. See the cookie policy for controls and duration.
Hosting and email service providers may process technical information or correspondence to supply their services. Access is limited to the relevant purpose and appropriate contractual safeguards are required where they act as processors. Your chosen email provider handles the draft under its own terms. External websites receive information when you follow their links and operate under separate privacy notices.
Retention and international transfers
Routine enquiry correspondence is retained for up to 12 months after the matter closes, unless an unresolved complaint, legal obligation or dispute justifies longer retention. Technical logs are retained only for operational and security needs; information associated with a specific incident may need to be held while it is investigated. Local preference records are treated as expired after 180 days and checked when the site next loads.
If processing involves a restricted international transfer, an appropriate legal mechanism is required, such as an adequacy decision or approved contractual safeguards with necessary supplementary measures. Contact the publisher for information about safeguards relevant to your enquiry.
Your rights and complaints
UK processing is subject to the UK GDPR, the Data Protection Act 2018 and applicable electronic communications rules, as amended. Depending on the circumstances, you may request access, correction, erasure, restriction or portability, object to processing based on legitimate interests, and withdraw consent without affecting earlier lawful processing. Identity information is requested only where proportionate to confirming a request.
The EU GDPR applies where its territorial requirements are met. California residents may have rights under the CCPA, as amended, where the law applies, including access, correction, deletion and protection from discrimination for exercising rights. The publisher does not sell personal information or share it for cross-context behavioural advertising.
You may complain to the UK Information Commissioner's Office or another competent supervisory authority. This policy may be updated when processing changes; material new purposes will be explained before the relevant information is used in that way.
