Privacy policy

Who is responsible

newsfoti, located at 14 Lune Mill Court, Lancaster LA1 1QD, United Kingdom, is responsible for the processing of personal data described here, on every page of newsfoti.net and in the correspondence that follows from it. Questions about this notice can be sent to [email protected] or put to us on 01524 360184.

This site is not directed at children, and we do not knowingly process their data. Parents or guardians who notice that a child has contacted us can ask us at [email protected] to remove the message from our records.

Data security

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.

Even careful protection cannot make data transfer over open networks entirely safe, and we do not promise absolute security. Internally, only those dealing with your request have access to the correspondence.

Purposes and legal grounds

We use data to keep this website online and safe, to reply to the messages we receive, to prepare and carry out agreements with clients and to keep the records our business requires.

Depending on the situation, we rely on your consent, on an agreement with you or the steps that come before it, on a duty imposed on us, or on our legitimate interest in a safe and working website. If you leave out the contact details we ask for, we may not be able to reply.

Which data we process

Each time a page is requested, the server notes the address of the requesting device, the date and time, the page and the browser that asked for it. These entries are needed to deliver the page, to keep the site stable and to trace faults, and they are removed after a short time.

When you contact us in writing or by telephone, we process the contact details you provide and the information contained in your enquiry. Where a form is used, only the fields marked as required are needed; any further detail you add is voluntary.

Cookies and browser storage

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.

Third parties and transfers

We do not trade in personal data. It reaches only the companies that keep this site online and handle our email on our behalf, bound by contract to our instructions, and the authorities that are entitled to request it.

Data may be handled by a provider whose servers or support staff are located abroad. We choose providers who commit to protecting it at the level the applicable rules demand for transfers of this kind.

Retention

We keep personal data only for as long as the purpose it was collected for requires, or longer where record-keeping duties apply. After that it is deleted or changed so that it no longer points to a person.

Technical log entries are deleted automatically after a short time. Enquiries and the correspondence that follows are kept while they may still be needed, and documents covered by tax or commercial law for the statutory period.

Your rights and how to use them

You can ask us at any time which data we store about you, request its correction or deletion, have the processing restricted, object to it or receive a copy in a common electronic format. Consent that you have given may be withdrawn at any time; the withdrawal applies from then on.

To exercise any of these rights, a message to [email protected] is enough. To be sure that we are dealing with the right person, we may ask you to confirm your identity; our answer follows within the statutory period and is free of charge.

If you believe that we handle your data unlawfully, you may complain to the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO), in addition to any other remedy.

Amendments to this notice

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.
