This privacy policy explains how Finsbury Printing & Editorial Ltd ("we", "us", "our") manages personal information collected through happystckviewdigst.lifestyle.

1. Scope and Applicable Data Protection Laws

We process personal data in full compliance with the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR), the Data Protection Act 2018, and where applicable, the EU General Data Protection Regulation (Regulation (EU) 2016/679) and the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA). This policy applies to visitors accessing our digital guide from the United Kingdom, the European Economic Area, and other global territories.

2. Information We Collect

We maintain a strict data-minimisation approach. The categories of data we may collect comprise:

  • Direct Correspondence Data: Your name, email address, message subject, and content when you submit an enquiry via our editorial contact form.
  • Technical and Device Data: Internet protocol (IP) address, operating system, browser type, and server access logs automatically recorded by our web servers to ensure system security and prevent automated abuse.
  • Client-Side Storage Choices: Your cookie preference settings recorded in your local browser storage (`localStorage`) to remember consent choices.

3. Legal Bases for Processing Under UK GDPR

We process personal data under the following legal frameworks set out in Article 6 of the UK GDPR:

  • Legitimate Interests (Art. 6(1)(f)): Maintaining server stability, preventing denial-of-service disruptions, and ensuring cybersecurity across our publishing infrastructure.
  • Consent (Art. 6(1)(a)): Where you explicitly submit correspondence via our contact form or opt in to non-essential browser cookies.
  • Legal Obligation (Art. 6(1)(c)): Retaining correspondence records where required by applicable statutory regulations.

4. Third-Party Processors and Infrastructure

We do not sell, license, or trade your personal data to any third party for marketing purposes. Data processing is strictly limited to technical service providers providing static file delivery, infrastructure security, and email transmission. Where data transfers occur outside the United Kingdom, they are secured by Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) or International Data Transfer Agreements (IDTAs) recognised by the UK Information Commissioner's Office (ICO).

5. Data Retention Periods

Contact enquiries are retained for no longer than twelve months following resolution to facilitate continuity of correspondence. Server access logs are rotated and deleted after thirty days. Cookie consent values stored in browser local storage remain active until cleared by the user.
