Privacy Policy

Introduction

This Privacy Policy explains how Rustic Social Furniture Services collects, uses, and protects your information when you visit our website, rusticsocial.co.uk. We are committed to respecting your privacy and ensuring transparency about the data we handle. This policy applies solely to information collected through our website and does not extend to any third-party sites or services.

Information We Collect

When you visit our website, we automatically collect certain information through standard web technologies. We do not require you to register, create an account, or provide personal details such as your name, address, or email. The information collected includes:

• IP address and device type
• Browser type and version
• Pages visited and time spent on site
• Referring URLs and search terms used
• Standard server log data

This data is collected anonymously and is not linked to any personally identifiable information.

How We Use Information

The information we collect is used solely for the following purposes:

• To analyse website traffic and user behaviour
• To improve the functionality and user experience of our site
• To understand which content is most relevant to our visitors
• To ensure the technical stability and security of our website

We do not use your data for marketing, profiling, or automated decision-making. No personal data is sold, rented, or shared for commercial purposes.

Cookies and Tracking Technologies

Our website uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to enhance your browsing experience. Cookies are small text files stored on your device that help us remember your preferences and analyse site performance. We use both session cookies (which expire when you close your browser) and persistent cookies (which remain for a defined period).

The cookies we use are strictly for analytical and functional purposes. They do not track you across other websites or collect sensitive information. You can manage or disable cookies through your browser settings, though doing so may affect site functionality.

Third-Party Services

We utilise trusted third-party services to support our website operations:

• Google Analytics: To measure website traffic and user interactions. Google Analytics anonymises IP addresses and does not collect personally identifiable information.
• Advertising networks: We may display ads via platforms such as Google AdSense. These services may use cookies to serve relevant content, but we do not control their data practices. Please review their respective privacy policies.

We do not share your data with advertisers. Third-party services operate under their own privacy policies, and we encourage you to review them.

Data Security

We implement reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect your data from unauthorised access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. Our website uses standard security protocols, including HTTPS encryption. However, please note that no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to protect your information, we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Your Rights

Under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), you have the following rights regarding your personal data:

• The right to be informed about data collection practices
• The right to access any data we hold about you
• The right to request deletion of your data
• The right to restrict or object to processing
• The right to data portability

Since we do not collect or store personal data beyond what is automatically logged, most of these rights are not applicable. However, if you believe any personal data has been inadvertently collected, you may contact us to request its removal. We will respond within one month.

Children's Privacy

Our website is not intended for children under the age of 16. We do not knowingly collect personal data from minors. If we become aware that we have inadvertently collected information from a child under 16, we will take immediate steps to delete it.
