CHANGES TO THE PRIVACY NOTICE AND YOUR DUTY TO INFORM ME OF CHANGES
This version was created on 28/7/2018.
It is important that the personal data I hold about you is accurate and current. Please keep me informed if your personal data changes while you still have any interest in my website.
THIRD-PARTY LINKS
This website may include links to third-party websites, plug-ins and applications. Clicking on those links or enabling those connections may allow third parties to collect or share data about you. I do not control these third-party websites and am not responsible for their privacy statements. When you leave my website, I encourage you to read the privacy notice of every website you visit.
- THE DATA I COLLECT ABOUT YOU
The website collects very little personal data, and no sensitive personal data whatever.
The following data may be collected, used and stored:
Identity Data viz. first name, last name, username or similar identifier.
Contact Data viz. email address.
Technical Data includes internet protocol (IP) address, browser type and version, time zone setting and location, browser plug-in types and versions, operating system and platform and other technology on the devices you use to access this website.
Any information you provide including feedback and survey responses.
Usage Data viz. information about how you use the website.
Communications Data viz. your preferences in receiving information from the website.
Via a plugin, I may collect, use and share Aggregated Data such as statistical or demographic data for any purpose. Aggregated Data may be derived from your personal data but is not considered personal data in law as this data does not directly or indirectly reveal your identity. For example, I may aggregate your Usage Data to calculate the percentage of users accessing a specific website feature.
I have no interest in and never collect any Special Categories of Personal Data about you (this includes details about your race or ethnicity, religious or philosophical beliefs, sex life, sexual orientation, political opinions, trade union membership, information about your health and genetic and biometric data). Nor do I collect any information about criminal convictions and offences.
- HOW IS YOUR PERSONAL DATA COLLECTED?
I use different methods to collect data from and about you including through:
Direct interactions. You may give me your Identity and Contact Data by filling in forms, responding to pop-ups or by sending e-mails or otherwise. This includes personal data you provide when you:
Subscribe to the digest;
Take part in a survey;
Submit a comment or other feedback.
Automated technologies or interactions. As you interact with the website, Technical Data about your equipment, browsing actions and patterns may be collected automatically via cookies, server logs or other similar technologies.
- HOW I USE YOUR PERSONAL DATA
I will only use your personal data when the law allows me to. I will use your personal data solely to send you information in which you have expressed an interest. You have the right to withdraw consent at any time by unsubscribing via the link provided with each email sent to you or by contacting me via data.protection@luff.uk.net.

COOKIES
You may set your browser to refuse all or some browser cookies, or to alert you when websites set or access cookies. If you disable or refuse cookies, please note that some parts of my website may not function properly.
CHANGE OF PURPOSE
I will only use your personal data for the purposes for which it was collected. In the unlikely event that I may wish to use it for another related purpose then I would only do so with your express consent.
In the unlikely event that I am obliged for legal reasons to use your personal data for an unrelated purpose, I will notify you and explain the legal basis before doing so.
Please note that I may process your personal data without your knowledge or consent, in compliance with the above rules, where this is required by law.
- DISCLOSURES OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA
Other than as described elsewhere in this notice, I will never disclose your personal data to any third-party.
- INTERNATIONAL TRANSFERS
I may make use of third-party services (e.g. MailChimp) that are based outside of the European Economic Area (EEA) so their processing of your personal data will involve a transfer of data outside the EEA. Please contact me if you want further information on the specific mechanisms that may result in a transfer of your personal data out of the EEA.
- DATA SECURITY
I have put in place appropriate security measures to prevent your personal data from being accidentally lost, used or accessed in an unauthorised way, altered or disclosed. I am the sole person with access to your personal data.
I will notify you of any breach of security that I may detect and where legally required to do so will also inform any applicable regulator.
- DATA RETENTION
FOR HOW LONG WILL YOU USE MY PERSONAL DATA?
I will only retain your personal data for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal or reporting requirements.
In some circumstances I may anonymise your personal data (so that it can no longer be associated with you) for research or statistical purposes in which case I may use this information indefinitely without further notice to you.
- YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS
Under certain circumstances, you have rights under data protection laws in relation to your personal data.

NO FEE REQUIRED
You will not have to pay a fee to access your personal data (or to exercise any of the other rights). I will not charge a fee even if your request is clearly unfounded, repetitive or excessive although I may legally refuse to comply with your request in these circumstances.
WHAT I MAY NEED FROM YOU
I may need to request specific information from you to help me confirm your identity and ensure your right to access your personal data (or to exercise any of your other rights). This is a security measure to ensure that personal data is not disclosed to any person who has no right to receive it. I may also contact you to ask you for further information in relation to your request to speed up the response.
TIME LIMIT TO RESPOND
I will try to respond to all legitimate requests well within one month. This time limit allows for indisposition or holidays.
