Who we are
Our website address is: https://www.hisaronutouristguide.com.
Derek Pryde is the “controller” of personal data which is collected from you when you visit and use this Website for the purposes of the General Data Protection Regulation (commonly known as the “GDPR” and referred to herein as the “GDPR”). I can be contacted at admin@hisaronutouristguide.com
Please read this privacy notice before you start using my Website, as it will apply to your use of the Website. By using the Website, you confirm that you accept the terms of this privacy notice. You should also read this privacy notice if you have entered into communications with us, as it applies to any personal data that we collect from you during our communications.
This privacy notice should be read together with any other privacy notices which are brought to your attention on other pages of this Website which, when relevant, will apply to certain uses of the Website in addition to this privacy notice.
This privacy notice may change from time to time, so please periodically review this page to ensure that you are still content with its terms and to continue to share your personal data with us.
this Website may contain links to other websites, but please note that such websites are our out of this control and are not covered by this privacy notice. Should you visit other websites, then the owners of such websites may collect and use your personal data, so you should familiarise yourself with any privacy policies which they publish which we cannot accept any liability for.
What is “personal data”?
Under the GDPR “personal data” is defined as:
“any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (‘data subject’); an identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier or to one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person”.
As a result, “personal data” includes, amongst many other things, your name, address, phone number, email address and any other information that could be used to identify you, either by itself, or together with other information. It can also include other less obvious identifiers, such as your IP address and cookie data.
What personal data we collect and why we collect it
We may collect personal data that you provide to us by completing forms on this Website. It is difficult to say what this may be, however, it may include things such as your name (including title), address, phone number, date of birth, email address. In any event, the precise personal data that we collect from you will be clear to you as you complete the relevant form, as we will only collect the personal data that you submit to us and which will be specifically requested (i.e. you will be specifically invited to enter your name, email address etc.). In certain circumstances, certain data fields will be marked with an asterisk (i.e. *), which means that we require this personal data to be provided. To the extent that fields are not marked with an asterisk, then we do not require this personal data, but should you submit it to us then we will automatically collect it.
We may collect personal data that you provide to us when you communicate with us for any reason. Once again, it is difficult to say what personal data this may be, but we will collect all of the information that is contained within your communication and, as this is within your control, you will be able to identify what this is. However, by way of example, if you communicate with us by email, we will collect your email address as a minimum.
You will automatically download a ‘cookie’ (you can read more about “cookies” below), and we will automatically collect your IP address.
