This privacy policy explains how Scott Bennett (“I”, “me” or “my”) collects, uses and protects personal information when you visit scottbennett.uk or contact me about my work.
Who is responsible for your information
Scott Bennett is the data controller for personal information handled through this website. For privacy questions or requests, email hello@scottbennett.uk.
Information I collect
- Information you provide: your name, email address, organisation and anything you include in an enquiry or other correspondence.
- Website and device information: IP address, browser and device type, pages visited, referral source and approximate location.
- Security and technical records: server logs, login and security events, requested URLs, email delivery records and diagnostic information.
How and why I use it
- To respond to enquiries and take steps towards a contract.
- To deliver agreed services and administer professional relationships.
- To operate, secure, troubleshoot and improve the website where this is necessary for my legitimate interests.
- To understand website use through analytics. Where the law requires it, non-essential analytics cookies are used with your consent.
- To meet legal, accounting or regulatory obligations.
Services and recipients
I use trusted suppliers to host, secure, maintain and measure the website and to deliver email. These may include my hosting provider, Google services such as Google Analytics and Site Kit, WPMU DEV services including Defender and Smush, and my email or SMTP provider. They may process limited information on my behalf under their own security and privacy terms. I do not sell your personal information.
International transfers
Some suppliers may process information outside the United Kingdom. Where this happens, I rely on an appropriate legal safeguard, such as UK adequacy regulations or approved contractual protections.
How long information is kept
I keep personal information only for as long as it is needed for the purpose collected, to maintain relevant business records, or to meet legal obligations. Enquiries that do not lead to ongoing work are normally reviewed and deleted within 24 months. Technical, analytics and security records are retained according to the relevant service settings and operational need.
Your rights
Under UK data protection law, you may have rights to access, correct or erase your information; restrict or object to its use; receive certain information in a portable format; and withdraw consent at any time where consent is the legal basis. These rights can depend on the circumstances and legal exceptions.
To exercise a right, email hello@scottbennett.uk. You can also complain to the UK Information Commissioner’s Office at ico.org.uk/make-a-complaint.
Cookies
The website uses cookies and similar technologies for essential operation, security and analytics. More detail is provided in the Cookie Policy.
