This page explains our approach to privacy on our website and how it affects you.
In short, the following applies to our website:
* We collect anonymous usage statistics about your visit, like which of our pages you viewed.
*
Some third parties like Facebook and Twitter may know you visited this website, if you use their
services. We can't control them but we don't believe this knowledge poses any threat to
you.
* If you share personally identifiable information with us we take great care to keep it safe
and we'll never share it with others without your express permission.
* We never share your
data with third parties except to help us deliver our own services.
These are just the key points. If you need details, keep reading.
Website Compliance
We regularly review the biggardenpots.co.uk website for GDPR compliance and make updates as
appropriate. The website uses the HTTPS protocol and is in addition otherwise currently compliant.
Cookies
Like most websites, we use cookies.
Cookies are small pieces of data that websites store in their visitors' web browsers. Other
technologies, including data we store on your web browser or device, identifiers associated with your
device, and other software, are used for similar purposes. In this policy, we refer to all of these
technologies as "cookies". Cookies help to improve our services and give you a better
experience. For example, they can show us which pages people visit most often, and which are not
getting as much attention.
If you wish to block cookies you can do this in your browser settings; you can learn more about
cookies and how to block them here.
Emails
If you provide us with your email address we may send you emails, either in reply to specific
enquiries (such as one made using a contact form) or if you have opted in to our email newsletters.
You have the ability to opt out of any of this communication at any time.
We will never provide your personal information or email address to any third parties except where
they are specifically employed to help deliver our own services.
Our email marketing lists are also managed by our webmaster, Web Smart Media. Therefore, some personal information may be shared
with them for marketing purposes.
Facebook, Twitter and other social networks
These services provide social buttons and similar features which we use on our website - such as the
"Like" and "Tweet" buttons.
To do so we embed code that they provide and we do not control ourselves. To function, their buttons
generally know if you're logged in; for example Facebook uses this to say "x of your friends
like this". We do not have any access to that information, nor can we control how those networks
use it.
Social networks therefore could know that you're viewing this website, if you use their services
(that isn't to say they do, but their policies may change). As our website is remarkably
inoffensive we imagine this is not a concern for most users.
Google Analytics
We measure visitors to our website using Google Analytics. This records what pages you view within
our site, how you arrived at our site and some basic information about your computer, such as the web
browser you use and the screen resolution. All of that information is anonymous - so we don't
know who you are; just that somebody visited our site.
The information we collect from analytics helps us understand what parts of our sites are doing well,
how people arrive at our site and so on. Like most websites, we use this information to make our
website better.
Any data collected by Google Analytics that is associated with cookies, user identifiers or
advertising identifiers is retained for a period of up to 26 months.
You can learn more about Google Analytics or opt out if you
wish.
Things you can do
You have legal control over your personal data, and so you may at any time:
* get a copy of any personal data we hold about you
* have any incorrect, inaccurate or incomplete
data corrected
* ask that personal data be erased when it's no longer needed
* ask that
your data is not used for marketing purposes
If you need to do so then please get in touch with us using the details below.
If you have any questions about this privacy policy or your personal data, please write to us by
