This privacy policy relates to the use of https://outflux.co.uk and the data we collect via that site.

The General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR) state that we must give you details about the data we collect, our reasons for collecting it, what we do with it and what your rights are – which is all contained here in our Privacy Policy.

Who are we?

Outflux is the trading name of Sharon Teague, 2 Harwen House, Castle Street, Eye, Suffolk, IP23 7AN.  

We are the data controller and are registered with the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) registration number ZA538799

Purpose of processing

We process your personal data to respond to enquiries about our service, communicate with you about it, and provide our invoices for work completed.

Basis of processing

We process your data because you are buying our services or enquiring about doing so.  Our lawful basis of processing is therefore covered under GDPR Article 6(b) “processing is necessary for the performance of a contract”.

Special category data

There are additional rules we must follow if we collect certain types of more sensitive data, known as Special Category Data.  We do not collect any special category data about you.

What personal data do we collect?

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognise and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.

We will collect and retain the following data:

  • Your name
  • Your email address
  • Your postal address

Do we ever share personal data?

If you have an account on this site, or have left comments, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

We will share your data if required to do so by a legitimate law enforcement agency.  When you submit your personal data online your data is held by our partner who hosts our website.

We will never share or sell your data to third parties without your permission.

How do we keep your data secure?

Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.

We take sensible steps to keep your data secure:

  • All data sent between your browser and our website is encrypted in transit
  • All data we hold in our computers are encrypted at rest
