1. Information We Collect
Orwellcombe may collect information that you provide directly to us, such as your name, email address, company details, and any other information submitted through contact forms, access requests, or correspondence. We may also collect technical information automatically when you interact with our website, including IP address, browser type, device identifiers, pages visited, and timestamps, typically gathered through cookies or similar technologies.
2. How We Use Information
Information collected may be used to operate and maintain our website, respond to inquiries, process access requests, administer accounts, improve our services, communicate updates relevant to users, and comply with legal or contractual obligations. We do not use personal information for purposes incompatible with those for which it was originally collected, except where permitted or required by law.
3. Legal Basis for Processing
Where applicable data protection law requires a legal basis for processing, Orwellcombe relies on one or more of the following: your consent, the necessity of processing to perform a contract with you, compliance with a legal obligation, or our legitimate interests in operating and improving our services, provided such interests are not overridden by your rights.
4. Cookies and Tracking Technologies
Our website may use cookies and similar technologies to support core functionality, remember preferences, and understand aggregate usage patterns. You can typically control cookie behaviour through your browser settings. Disabling certain cookies may affect the availability or functionality of parts of the website.
5. Sharing and Disclosure
Orwellcombe does not sell personal information. We may share information with service providers who support our operations (such as hosting or analytics providers), under confidentiality obligations consistent with this policy. We may also disclose information where required by law, regulation, legal process, or governmental request, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of Orwellcombe, our users, or others.
6. Data Retention
We retain personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes outlined in this policy, including satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements. Retention periods may vary depending on the nature of the information and the context in which it was collected.
7. Data Security
We implement reasonable administrative, technical, and organisational measures designed to protect information against unauthorised access, loss, misuse, or alteration. However, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
8. International Transfers
Depending on how our services are accessed and operated, information may be transferred to, stored, or processed in jurisdictions other than your own. Where such transfers occur, we aim to apply appropriate safeguards consistent with applicable data protection requirements.
