Privacy Policy
Welcome to SMKDEV! This Privacy Policy applies to www.smkdev.co.uk operated by me, Shane Kirby, 7 Bell Yard, London, WC2A 2JR, UK and the third parties I`m using to provide the website “we”, “us”, “our”.
If you have any questions about my Privacy Policy or wish to exercise your rights under applicable laws, please contact me using contact@smkdev.co.uk, or my contact form or write to me at the above address.
Background
This Privacy Policy describes our privacy practices in plain language, keeping legal and technical jargon to a minimum, to make sure you understand the information provided. However, to achieve this objective I would like to explain to you the following three concepts.
What is Personal Data?
Personal Data is any information that relates to an identified or identifiable living individual. Different pieces of information, which collected together can lead to the identification of a particular person, also constitute Personal Data.
What is Processing?
"Processing" means and covers virtually any handling of data.
What law applies?
I act as the data controller in accordance with the UK`s Data Protection Act (“DPA”) and the EU`s General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”).
General Principles
Of course, we can only do that if we have at least one of the following legal bases or in other words lawful reasons to do so. Unless specifically described below, we typically link the above purposes to one of the following:
The measures include, in particular, ensuring the confidentiality, integrity and availability of data by controlling physical access to the data, as well as access to, input, disclosure, ensuring availability and segregation of the data. We also have procedures in place to ensure the exercise of data subjects' rights, deletion of data and response to data compromise. Furthermore, we already take the protection of Personal Data into account during the development and selection of hardware, software and procedures, in accordance with the principle of data protection through technology design and through data protection-friendly default settings.
Nevertheless, internet-based data transmissions can always have security gaps, so absolute protection cannot be guaranteed. In this sense, databases or data sets that include Personal Data may be breached inadvertently or through wrongful intrusion.
Upon becoming aware of a data breach, I will notify all affected individuals whose Personal Data may have been compromised as expeditiously as possible after which the breach was discovered.
Data collection and processing
Categories of Personal Data we collect may include your name, email address, phone number, IP addresses, the context of your message which may also include certain Personal Data, device ID and type, device-specific and APP settings and properties, APP crashes, advertising IDs. We may also collect demographic data such as your interests and preferences.
In order to provide you with a more consistent and personalised user experience in your interactions with me, data collected through one source may also be linked to other data collected by us through other sources. This may include data that helps us to identify you when you access my website through several different devices.
I also collect, process, and use the information you provide for the purpose of initiating and executing a contract when you ask me to. This may include Personal and non- Personal Data, in particular your name, billing address and e-mail address phone number, as well as information on the type of payment method you have chosen. I store the information you provide for the period of processing and handling the contractual services. Afterwards, your data will be deleted. Data that I am required to store due to legal, statutory, or contractual retention obligations will be blocked instead of being deleted to prevent it being used for other purposes. The processing of the data serves the fulfilment of the contract with you.
We may also collect certain information about the browser you use to access my website, such as your IP address, device identifier, location data, browser type and language, and your access times, the URL ("Uniform Resource Locator") of the website from which you arrived at my website, and the URL to which you are directed after leaving my website if you clicked on a link on my website.
Our use of Personal Data
I may use your Personal Data for the following purposes:
Cooperation with processors
We use content or service offers of third-party providers on the basis of my legitimate interests in order to integrate their content and services on my website. This usually requires that the third-party provider becomes aware of your IP address so that the content and services can be displayed on your device.
Below you can find a list of the relevant content and services we use along with the relevant third-party provider. We would like to ask you to review their privacy policies, which contain further information on the processing of Personal Data and so-called opt-out measures, if any.
Marketing
Insofar as you have also given me your consent to process your Personal Data for marketing and advertising purposes, I`m entitled to contact you for these purposes via the communication channels you have given your consent to.
Your Rights and Privileges
If you have any questions, please contact us.
Changes
I may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. If I make changes to this Privacy Policy or we materially change our use of your Personal Data, I will revise the Privacy Policy accordingly.
Questions?
If you have any questions about the processing of your Personal Data, please contact me using contact@smkdev.co.uk, or my contact form or write to me at the above address.
