02What we collect

When you visit this website

This website does not use analytics, advertising or tracking scripts, and it does not set cookies. Our web server keeps standard access logs, which include your IP address, the page requested, the time and your browser type. We use these logs only to keep the site secure and working.

When you contact us

If you email us, we receive your name, your email address and whatever you choose to tell us. We use this only to reply to you and to deal with your enquiry.

When you become a client

We hold the contact, contract and billing details we need to work with you. Any personal data we handle inside a client's systems is handled on that client's instructions and under our agreement with them.

03Why we use it and our lawful basis

• Replying to enquiries and preparing proposals: our legitimate interest in responding to people who contact us, and steps taken at your request before entering a contract.
• Delivering work to clients: performance of our contract with you.
• Accounts and tax records: our legal obligations.
• Keeping this website secure: our legitimate interest in protecting our systems.

04Who we share it with

We do not sell personal data. We share it only with the suppliers we need to run the business, such as our email and hosting providers and our accountants, and where the law requires us to.

Some of these suppliers may process data outside the United Kingdom. Where they do, we rely on the safeguards that UK data protection law provides for such transfers.

05How long we keep it

• Web server logs are kept for a short period and then deleted.
• Enquiries that do not lead to work are deleted within two years of the last contact.
• Client and financial records are kept for as long as the law requires, which is normally six years after the end of the financial year they relate to.

06Your rights

Under UK data protection law you have the right to ask for a copy of your personal data, to have it corrected or erased, to restrict or object to our use of it, and to receive it in a portable form. To use any of these rights, email sean@burclea.co.uk. We will reply within one month.

If you are unhappy with how we have handled your data, you can complain to the Information Commissioner's Office at ico.org.uk. We would appreciate the chance to put things right first.

07Changes to this policy

If we change this policy we will publish the new version on this page and update the effective date at the top.
