How We Comply
As an informational website with no user registration or data storage system, we do not collect or retain personal data beyond what is necessary for basic website functionality. Any data collected via cookies or server logs is anonymised and used solely for traffic analysis. We do not share personal data with third parties for commercial purposes. Our lawful basis for processing is legitimate interest in ensuring website functionality and improving user experience.

No names, email addresses, or personally identifiable information are collected or stored.
Legal Basis for Processing
Our processing of personal data is based on legitimate interest under Article 6(1)(f) of the UK GDPR.
