This Privacy Policy explains how In Belfast collects, uses and protects your personal data when you use our guide to Belfast.
1. Data Controller
This section explains who we are. The data controller responsible for your personal data is In Belfast, operator of https://tbelfast.com, based at 25 Deramore Ave, Belfast BT7 3ER, County Down, United Kingdom. For any privacy query, contact us at [email protected]. We process personal data in accordance with the UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018.
2. Categories of Data We Collect
We collect limited information. The categories of personal data we may collect are: (a) contact data you provide when you email us (such as your name and email address); (b) technical data collected automatically, including IP address, browser type, device information and pages viewed; and (c) usage and analytics data about how you interact with the Service. We do not collect payment data, and we do not knowingly collect sensitive personal data.
3. Purposes of Processing and Legal Basis
This section sets out how we use your data and why we process it. We use contact data to respond to your enquiries (legal basis: our legitimate interest in answering you, or taking steps at your request). We use technical and analytics data to operate, secure and improve the Service (legal basis: legitimate interest, and your consent where analytics cookies are used). Where we rely on consent, you may withdraw it at any time.
4. Third-Party Sharing
We do not sell your personal data. We may share data with service providers who help us run the Service — for example, our website hosting provider and, where you have consented, a privacy-respecting analytics provider. These third-party processors act on our instructions under appropriate agreements. We may also disclose data where required by law.
5. International Data Transfers
Our providers may process data outside the United Kingdom. Where an international data transfer occurs, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place, such as UK adequacy regulations or Standard Contractual Clauses, so that your data receives an equivalent level of protection.
6. Data Retention
This section explains how long we keep your data. We retain email correspondence for up to 24 months after our last contact with you, and aggregated analytics data for up to 26 months. We delete or anonymise personal data once it is no longer needed for the purposes described above.
7. Your Rights Under UK GDPR
Under the UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018 you have the following data subject rights: the right to access your personal data; the right to rectification of inaccurate data; the right to erasure; the right to restrict or object to processing; and the right to data portability. Where processing is based on consent, you may withdraw that consent at any time. To exercise any of these rights, email us at [email protected]. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO), the UK supervisory authority, at ico.org.uk.
8. Children's Data
The Service is not directed at children. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children under the age of 13 (in line with COPPA and UK GDPR protections for children). If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, contact us and we will delete it.
9. Security Measures
We take security measures to protect your personal data. We safeguard data using appropriate technical and organisational measures, including encryption in transit (HTTPS), access controls and limited data collection. While we protect your information, no method of transmission over the internet is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
10. Changes to This Policy
We may make changes to this Privacy Policy from time to time. Updates to this policy will be posted here with a revised "Last Updated" date. Significant changes will be made clear on this page.
