Analytics

Who we share your data with

At our marketing agency, we understand the importance of your privacy and strive to maintain the confidentiality of your personal information. We do not sell, rent, or trade your data with third parties for their marketing purposes.

However, to effectively deliver our services and enhance your experience, we may need to share your data with certain trusted third parties, including:

  1. Service Providers: We work with reputable service providers who assist us in areas such as website hosting, data analysis, email delivery, and customer support. These providers have access to your data only to the extent necessary to perform their tasks and are bound by strict confidentiality agreements.
  2. Analytics Partners: We engage with analytics partners to gather insights into user behavior, improve our services, and optimise marketing strategies. The data shared is usually anonymised or aggregated to protect your identity.
  3. Advertising Partners: In some cases, we may collaborate with advertising partners to promote our services. These partners may use cookies and similar technologies to deliver relevant advertisements to you based on your interests and browsing history.
  4. Legal Requirements: We may disclose your personal information if required by law, regulation, or legal process. We may also share data to protect the rights, safety, and property of our users, employees, or the public.
  5. Business Transfers: In the event of a merger, acquisition, or other business transfer, your data may be transferred as part of the assets involved. We will notify you and give you the opportunity to opt out of such transfers if they result in a material change to how your data is handled.

Before sharing your data with any third party, we carefully assess their data protection practices to ensure they align with our commitment to safeguarding your privacy. Your trust is paramount to us, and we take every precaution to ensure that your data is handled responsibly and securely by any third parties we collaborate with.

How long we retain your data

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.

For users that register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.

What rights you have over your data

If you have an account on this site, or have left comments, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

Where we send your data

Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.

Your contact information

If you have any concerns, questions, or requests regarding your privacy and data protection, please don’t hesitate to contact us. You can reach out to our dedicated Privacy Team at [email protected]
