This privacy policy explains how Tom Tests It collects, uses and protects personal information when you visit tomtestsit.co.uk or contact us.
Who we are
Tom Tests It is the operator and data controller for this website. Our website address is https://tomtestsit.co.uk. You can contact us using the details provided on our Contact page.
Information we collect
- Information you provide: if you contact us, we may receive your name, email address and the contents of your message.
- Technical information: our hosting provider may record information such as your IP address, browser type, device type, requested pages, timestamps and security events in server logs.
- Comments: if comments are enabled and you leave one, WordPress may collect the information entered in the comment form, together with your IP address and browser user-agent information for moderation and spam prevention.
How and why we use information
We use personal information to respond to enquiries, operate and secure the website, prevent spam and misuse, diagnose technical problems and comply with legal obligations. Our lawful bases are our legitimate interests in running and protecting the site, taking steps at your request when you contact us, and compliance with legal obligations where applicable.
Cookies
The site may use essential cookies needed for WordPress functionality, security and basic preferences. If comments are enabled, you may be offered cookies that remember your comment details. Embedded content and third-party sites reached through links may set their own cookies. We do not currently use advertising or analytics cookies directly. If this changes, this policy and any cookie controls will be updated as appropriate.
Embedded content and external links
Pages may include embedded videos, images or other material from services such as YouTube. Embedded content behaves as though you visited the provider directly, and the provider may collect data, use cookies or track your interaction according to its own privacy policy.
The site also links to external websites, including retailers. We are not responsible for their privacy practices, and you should review their policies before providing personal information.
Affiliate links
Some links may be affiliate links. If you follow one, the retailer or affiliate network may use cookies or similar technology to record the referral and may pay us a commission if you make a purchase. This does not normally tell us your identity. See our Affiliate Disclosure for more information.
Sharing information
We may share information with service providers that help us host, maintain, secure or operate the website, but only where needed for those services. We may also disclose information where required by law or to establish, exercise or defend legal claims. We do not sell personal information.
International transfers
Some external services or embedded-content providers may process information outside the United Kingdom. Where we select a service provider that makes an international transfer, we take reasonable steps to ensure appropriate safeguards are used.
How long we keep information
We keep enquiry correspondence only for as long as reasonably necessary to respond, maintain relevant records or meet legal requirements. Security and server logs are retained according to our hosting provider’s operational and security needs. If comments are enabled, comments and related metadata may be retained so follow-up comments can be recognised and moderated.
Your data-protection rights
Depending on the circumstances, UK data-protection law may give you rights to request access to your personal information, correction, deletion, restriction of processing, data portability, and to object to certain processing. Where processing relies on consent, you may withdraw it at any time. These rights are not absolute and legal exceptions may apply.
To exercise a right or raise a privacy concern, contact us through the Contact page. We may need to verify your identity before acting on a request. You can also complain to the UK Information Commissioner’s Office at ico.org.uk/make-a-complaint/.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy when the website, its services or legal requirements change. The latest version will be published on this page with an updated date.
