Privacy Policy

Who is responsible

buzzura, established at 14 Brayford Wharf Lane, Lincoln LN1 1TS, United Kingdom, is responsible for the processing of personal data on buzzura.com. For questions about data protection, write to [email protected] or call 01522 390417. The notice covers this website as a whole, including the messages that reach us through it.

We address adult readers only and do not intend to process information about children. Should you learn that a minor has written to us, please let us know at [email protected] and the message will be removed from our records.

Data processed on this website

When you open a page, our hosting provider records technical data such as your IP address, the requested page, the date and time, the browser type and the referring page. These server logs help us keep the site secure and are deleted after a short period.

Writing to us by email or through the form means that your contact details and the content of your message reach us. We use them to understand your request and to answer it, and we ask only for what a reply requires.

Purposes and legal grounds

We process data to make the website available, to answer enquiries, to prepare or perform contracts, to keep our business records in order and to protect the site against misuse and technical faults.

Depending on the case, the basis is your consent, the performance of a contract or steps taken before entering into one, a legal obligation, or our legitimate interest in a secure website. Without the details we ask for, we may be unable to reply.

Cookies and browser storage

We limit cookies and comparable techniques to what the website needs in order to work. No advertising networks, cross-site tracking or profiling tools are used, and a choice you make in a cookie notice is stored only in your own browser.

Your browser shows which entries this website has left, lets you remove them and can refuse new ones. If you block the entries the pages need, some functions of the site may stop working as intended.

Sharing of data

Personal data is never traded. Access is limited to the technical service providers that run our hosting and mail systems, who process data on our behalf under a written contract, and to public bodies where disclosure is required.

Some of these providers may process or store data outside our own country. Where that happens, we make sure that the transfer rests on the safeguards that data protection law provides for such cases.

How long we keep data

We keep personal data only for as long as the purpose it was collected for requires, or longer where record-keeping duties apply. After that it is deleted or changed so that it no longer points to a person.

Technical log entries are deleted automatically after a short time. Enquiries and the correspondence that follows are kept while they may still be needed, and documents covered by tax or commercial law for the statutory period.

How we protect data

Technical and practical safeguards protect the data we hold against loss, alteration and access by people who are not entitled to it. Where your browser supports it, the connection to this website is encrypted.

Even careful protection cannot make data transfer over open networks entirely safe, and we do not promise absolute security. Internally, only those dealing with your request have access to the correspondence.

Your rights and how to use them

You have the right to access the personal data we hold about you, to have it corrected or deleted, to restrict its processing, to object to processing based on legitimate interests and to receive your data in a portable format. Consent can be withdrawn at any time.

A message to [email protected] or a letter to our postal address is enough to use any of these rights. To make sure that information reaches the right person, we may ask you to confirm who you are, and we reply within the period the law sets.

Besides contacting us, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO), the UK's data protection regulator.

Amendments to this notice

This policy is revised when our processing or the applicable rules change. The current text is always available here, and the date at the top of the page shows when it was last amended.

We do not announce every amendment separately, so it is worth checking this page from time to time. Where a change concerns processing that rests on your consent, we ask for that consent again before it takes effect.
