UK GDPR Compliance

Rustic Social Furniture Services is committed to respecting your data protection rights under the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR). This page explains how we comply with your rights as a data subject under UK data protection law.

Scope and Applicability

Although Rustic Social Furniture Services is an informational blog with no user registration system or database of personal information, we may collect limited personal data through automated means such as website analytics, server logs, and cookies. This data is processed solely for website functionality, traffic analysis, and improving user experience. We are a data controller under the UK GDPR for this limited processing.

Your Rights Under UK GDPR

Under the UK GDPR, you have the following rights:

• Right of access – to request confirmation of whether we process your personal data and to receive a copy of it
• Right to rectification – to correct any inaccurate or incomplete personal data
• Right to erasure – to request deletion of your personal data where there is no compelling reason for its continued processing
• Right to restriction of processing – to limit how we use your data under certain conditions
• Right to data portability – to receive your data in a structured, commonly used format
• Right to object – to object to processing based on legitimate interests, including profiling
• Right to withdraw consent – where processing is based on consent, you may withdraw it at any time

How We Comply

We do not store personal data in databases or user accounts. Any data collected via cookies or analytics tools (e.g., Google Analytics) is aggregated and anonymised where possible. We use only necessary cookies for site functionality and performance, and we provide clear cookie consent controls. All third-party processors we use are GDPR-compliant and bound by data processing agreements.

Data We Process

Under UK GDPR, the personal data we may process includes:

• IP addresses (anonymised after short-term logging)
• Browser and device information (for analytics)
• Cookie identifiers (for site functionality and preference retention)
• Referral URLs and page interaction data (aggregated only)

No names, email addresses, phone numbers, or payment details are collected or stored.

Legal Basis for Processing

Our processing of personal data is based on legitimate interest for website operation, security, and performance optimisation. We conduct regular balancing tests to ensure our interests do not override your rights and freedoms. Where consent is required (e.g., non-essential cookies), we obtain clear, affirmative consent before deployment.

How to Exercise Your Rights

To exercise any of your rights under UK GDPR, please contact us by email at [email protected]. Include your full name, the right you wish to exercise, and any relevant details (e.g., IP address or cookie ID if known). We will respond without undue delay and in all cases within one month.

Response Timeframes

We are required by UK GDPR to respond to your requests within one month of receipt. In complex cases, we may extend this period by two further months and will inform you within one month of the reason for the delay.

No Discrimination Policy

You will not be denied service, charged different prices, or receive a different level of service because you exercised your rights under UK GDPR. We do not penalise users for requesting access to, deletion of, or objecting to the processing of their data.

Updates and Changes

We may update this page periodically to reflect changes in law or our practices. Any material changes will be posted here with an updated effective date. We recommend reviewing this page occasionally.
