Link Buildo and privacy enquiries
This notice explains how personal information is used on Link Buildo, an editorial website publishing articles, guides and commercial contributions. For privacy questions or to exercise your data rights, email info@linkbuildo.co.uk.
Information you provide
When you contact us through a form or email, we receive the details you submit, such as your name, email address, website, subject and message. We use these to answer your enquiry, assess a proposed contribution or advertising booking, and keep relevant correspondence. Please do not include passwords, payment-card details or sensitive personal information in an enquiry.
We rely on our legitimate interests in responding to ordinary enquiries and maintaining website security. Where you ask us to arrange a paid service or booking, processing may also be necessary to take steps at your request before a contract or to fulfil that contract. Optional analytics and services that require consent are controlled through the consent banner.
Cookies, analytics and third-party services
Necessary cookies support functions such as security, administrator login and remembering privacy choices. Optional services are managed through the consent controls. You can select Accept, Deny or View preferences, and revisit your choice using Manage consent. Browsing the website does not itself mean that you accept optional cookies.
We use Google Analytics 4 to understand aggregate use of the website, including page visits and form-completion events when analytics consent is given. We do not intentionally send the contents of enquiry messages or email addresses as analytics event parameters. Google may process device, browser, usage and network information. See Google’s Privacy Policy and our Cookie Policy for further details.
Contact forms use Google reCAPTCHA for spam protection. This service can process device and interaction information. Where it is blocked pending consent, the form may require you to enable the relevant service; you can instead email us directly. Embedded YouTube videos or other external content may also involve third-party processing when enabled. Following an ordinary external link takes you to a website with its own privacy practices.
Comments and website administration
Where comments are enabled, we collect the information shown in the comment form together with an IP address and browser user-agent information to help detect spam. Approved comments and the name you supply can be public. An anonymised email hash may be sent to Gravatar to display a profile image; see Automattic’s Privacy Policy. Do not put private contact details in a public comment.
Administrator accounts use WordPress profile and login data. Login and preference cookies support authenticated access. A password-reset email can include the requesting IP address. Website and email systems may retain technical logs for operation, delivery, troubleshooting and security.
Recipients and international processing
Website hosting, email delivery and technical service providers process information as needed to operate the site. These include our hosting and email infrastructure and Google for services described above. Access to enquiries is limited to the people handling them and the providers needed to deliver them. We may disclose information where required by law or necessary to address misuse or legal claims.
Some providers may process information outside the UK. Their privacy information explains the locations and safeguards applying to their services. Contact us if you need further information about a particular transfer.
How long information is kept
Enquiry correspondence is retained according to the purpose of the enquiry, any continuing relationship, and applicable accounting, legal or dispute requirements. We do not need to keep every unsuccessful enquiry permanently. Published comments and related metadata may remain until removed; administrator profile information remains while the account is needed. Technical data and cookies have provider- and purpose-specific retention periods. You may contact us to ask about or request deletion of information relating to you.
Your rights and complaints
Depending on the circumstances, you may have rights to access, correct or erase your personal information, restrict or object to processing, and receive certain information in a portable format. Where processing depends on consent, you may withdraw it without affecting processing already carried out. Some records may need to be retained for legal or security reasons.
Email info@linkbuildo.co.uk to make a request. We may need proportionate information to verify your identity. You can also complain to the UK Information Commissioner’s Office through the ICO complaints service.
Google advertising and your choices
Google AdSense advertising technology is enabled only after you allow the Marketing category in our website consent controls. Refusing Marketing keeps the AdSense loader off. If you enable it and Google’s consent tool is available, its separate advertising consent message asks users in the EEA, UK and Switzerland to choose Consent, Do not consent or Manage options for advertising purposes and partners.
Google and its advertising partners may process cookies, identifiers, IP address, browser/device information and advertising interactions to deliver, personalise and measure advertising and detect fraud, according to the choices and lawful bases shown in that message. The message lists the relevant partners and purposes. Refusing personalised advertising does not necessarily rule out limited advertising. Read how Google uses information in advertising.
Use Advertising privacy choices in the footer to reopen Google’s advertising choice when its consent tool is available. Otherwise, the link opens instructions for keeping advertising technology off. Use Manage consent to withdraw the website’s optional services and prevent the advertising loader from running on subsequent page loads. These are separate controls; the Cookie Policy explains how they work together. Website analytics consent is managed separately under Statistics.
Commercial content and changes to this notice
Paid guest posts, sponsored features and advertising must be identified as commercial content. Sending a commercial enquiry does not subscribe you to a mailing list.
We update this page when our use of personal information changes. The date above records the latest revision.
