What personal data we collect and why we collect it

Cookies
We use cookies to enhance your experience:

  • If you leave a comment, you can opt-in to save your name, email, and website. These cookies last one year.
  • A temporary cookie is set on the login page to check cookie support (deleted when you close your browser).
  • Login cookies last two days (or two weeks with “Remember Me”). Screen preference cookies last one year.
  • If you edit/publish content, a cookie with the post ID is stored (expires after one day).

You can manage or delete cookies in your browser settings.

Embedded content from other websites

Articles may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles). These behave as if you visited the third-party site directly.
They may collect data, use cookies, and track interactions—especially if you’re logged in to their site.

Lawful basis for processing

We collect and process personal data under the following lawful bases:

  • Consent: where you have given clear permission (e.g. contact forms, marketing opt-ins).
  • Contract: where processing is necessary for services you request.
  • Legal obligation: where required by law (e.g. tax records).
  • Legitimate interest: for purposes such as fraud prevention or improving site performance.

Who we share your data with

We do not sell or rent your data. Your data may be shared with:

  • Service providers and partners who help operate this site (e.g. hosting, spam detection).
  • Regulatory or legal authorities, if legally required.

If you request a password reset, your IP address may be included in the email.

How long we retain your data

If you leave a comment, the comment and metadata are stored indefinitely to recognise and approve future comments automatically.

For users who register (if applicable), we store the personal data provided in their profile. Users can see, edit, or delete their data at any time (except username). Admins can also view and edit user data.

Your rights under GDPR

You have the right to:

  • Access the personal data we hold about you
  • Correct inaccurate or incomplete data
  • Request deletion of your data (unless we are legally required to keep it)
  • Withdraw consent at any time (where processing is based on consent)
  • Object to or restrict processing
  • Data portability (receive your data in a commonly used format)

To exercise your rights, contact us at hello@windaes.co.uk

If you have concerns, you also have the right to lodge a complaint with the UK Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO): https://ico.org.uk

Where your data is sent

Visitor comments may be checked through automated spam detection services.

Some data may be processed outside the UK/EU, but we ensure adequate protection (e.g. standard contractual clauses or equivalent safeguards).

We may update this privacy policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with the date of revision.
