Privacy Policy

This policy explains, in plain terms, what happens to your personal data when you use Device Watch UK (this website). It is written to comply with UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018, which govern how websites operating in the UK handle personal information.

Who this applies to

This policy covers visitors to devicewatch.uk-style pages served from this domain. Device Watch UK is an independent information website; we do not operate a customer account system, checkout, or login area, so there is no stored account data to speak of.

What data we collect

We keep this deliberately minimal. This website does not currently run any analytics, tracking pixels or advertising scripts. If that changes in future, this page will be updated to name the specific service used before it is switched on.

The only personal data we handle directly is what you choose to send us. Our contact page uses a form that opens your own email client with your message pre-filled; the data you enter (name, email address, message) is composed and sent by you, from your own device, using your own email account. We do not receive or store anything from that form unless and until you personally choose to send the resulting email, at which point it exists as an ordinary email in whatever inbox you send it to.

Cookies

See our cookie policy for a full explanation of cookie use on this site. In short: we do not currently set tracking or advertising cookies.

Hosting and technical logs

Like virtually any website, the server or hosting platform that serves these pages may keep standard technical logs (such as IP address, browser type and page requested) for security and operational purposes, as most web hosts do by default. We do not separately access or process these logs for marketing purposes.

Data sharing

We do not sell, rent or share personal data with third parties for marketing purposes. Because we do not operate accounts, analytics or advertising integrations, there is currently no third-party data processor beyond the underlying hosting provider needed to serve the site itself.

Your rights

Under UK GDPR you have rights including access to, correction of, and deletion of personal data we hold about you. Since the only personal data we handle is what you send via email through the contact form, exercising these rights is generally as simple as asking us to delete a specific email exchange. Contact us via the contact page for any data query.

Changes to this policy

If our data practices change, for example if we add analytics in future, we will update this page and the “last updated” date at the top.
