This page explains what personal information this website handles and how. It is written to be read, not to be skimmed past.

Who is responsible

The data controller for this site is the publisher of 247locksmiths.co.uk. If you have a question about your data, contact us.

What we collect

  • Information you send us. If you email us, we receive your email address and whatever you choose to write, and we use it only to reply.
  • Basic technical data. Like most websites, our host may record standard server information such as the pages requested and approximate location by IP address. This is used to run and secure the site.
  • Cookies and similar technologies. See below — currently the site sets no advertising or analytics cookies of its own. That will change if we add an ad network.

Cookies

A cookie is a small file a website can ask your browser to store. This site itself does not currently set tracking cookies. If and when we add advertising or analytics, this page will be updated and a cookie notice will be presented before non-essential cookies are set, so you can accept or reject them.

Advertising cookies

This site plans to display advertising to fund its writing. Advertising is often served by a third-party network, and those networks frequently use cookies and similar technologies to show relevant ads and to measure them. That can involve processing your device's IP address and browsing behaviour across sites, under the ad network's own privacy policy. Where the law requires it — for example for personalised advertising in the UK and EU — you will be asked for consent first, and you will be able to decline non-essential cookies without losing access to the site's content.

Affiliate cookies

Some links are affiliate links, which may set a cookie so that a retailer can tell a visit came from this site. That is how a commission is tracked. It does not give us access to your personal data or your order details. See the affiliate disclosure.

Your rights

Under UK data-protection law you have rights over your personal data, including the right to ask for a copy of it, to have it corrected, and in some cases to have it erased or to object to its use. To exercise any of these, contact us.

Keeping it current

We will update this page whenever the way the site handles data changes — in particular when advertising is switched on.
