For personal information handled through this website, All about Paisley is the data controller. Questions about privacy can be sent to privacy@allaboutpaisley.com.
Information we receive
The information received depends on how you use the website.
- Technical information: hosting and security systems may record an IP address, browser type, device information, requested pages, time of access and error or security events.
- Analytics information: if you accept analytics cookies, Google Analytics collects information about how pages are used, such as pages viewed, approximate location, device type and how a visit reached the site.
- Your cookie choice: the website stores whether you accepted or rejected analytics so it can respect that choice.
- Messages: if you contact All about Paisley, the details and content you provide will be received so your enquiry can be handled.
Please do not send sensitive personal information unless it is genuinely necessary.
How we use information
Information may be used to:
- operate, secure and maintain the website;
- diagnose faults and prevent misuse;
- respond to messages, corrections and enquiries;
- understand which pages are useful, but only where analytics consent has been given; and
- meet legal obligations or protect legal rights.
Lawful bases
Where UK data protection law applies, the lawful basis will usually be legitimate interests for running and securing the website, consent for optional analytics cookies, legal obligation where the law requires processing, or legitimate interests in responding to correspondence and protecting legal rights.
How long we keep information
Information is kept only for as long as reasonably needed for the purpose for which it was received. The period depends on the type of information, security and legal requirements, whether an enquiry remains open and the settings of the relevant service provider. Information is deleted or anonymised when it is no longer required.
Your rights
Depending on the circumstances, UK data protection law may give you the right to:
- ask for access to your personal information;
- ask for inaccurate information to be corrected;
- ask for information to be erased or its use restricted;
- object to processing based on legitimate interests;
- receive certain information in a portable form; and
- withdraw consent at any time where processing relies on consent.
These rights can be limited in some circumstances. To make a request, email privacy@allaboutpaisley.com. Identity may need to be confirmed before a request is completed.
