Privacy Policy

Data controller

Responsibility for the information collected on newstfy.com lies with newstfy, 14 Orchard Mews, Southgate, Chichester PO19 8DJ, United Kingdom. Whoever has a question about this notice, or about data we may hold, can write to [email protected] or call 01243 786421.

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 Consent can be withdrawn at any time.

To use these rights, send a request to [email protected] or to our postal address. We may ask for details that allow us to identify you, so that data does not reach the wrong person, and we answer within the period the law provides.

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

Cookies and similar technologies

This website keeps stored entries to a minimum. It does not use advertising cookies, it does not follow visitors across other sites, and an answer you give to a cookie notice stays in your own browser.

Stored entries can be reviewed and deleted at any time in the settings of your browser, where you can also block them for the future. Blocking everything may affect the parts of the site that depend on such entries.

Data we collect

Opening this website leaves a few technical traces with our hosting provider: the address of your device, the moment of the visit, the page opened and basic details about the browser. We use them only to run the site safely and to find the cause of technical errors.

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.

Service providers and transfers abroad

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 the providers we work with may keep or process data in another country. When that happens, the transfer takes place only with the safeguards that the rules on data protection require for it.

Retention

Information is kept no longer than its purpose calls for. Once that purpose has been met and no duty to keep it remains, we erase it or remove everything that would link it to you.

Server logs are removed by our hosting provider after a short period. Messages stay with us while the matter is open and for some time afterwards, in case you return to the same question.

How we protect data

We protect the information in our care with suitable technical and practical measures against loss, misuse and access by anyone without permission. Data you send through the site travels in encrypted form wherever the browser allows it.

No transfer of data over the internet can be made entirely safe, so a residual risk remains. Inside newstfy, messages are read only by the people who deal with them.

Purpose and legal basis

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.

Each use of data has a ground of its own: your consent, a contract or the talks that lead to it, an obligation we have to meet, or our legitimate interest in running this site securely. You are free not to give us details, but without them an answer may not be possible.

Changes to this policy

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.

Each new version replaces the previous one without a separate notice. Where a change concerns processing that depends on your consent, we obtain fresh consent before it applies.
