Privacy policy

1. Who we are

This website, quirkpickindx.beauty, is operated by Quirkpickindx Ltd, a company registered in England and Wales under company number 15873402, with its registered office at Suite 4, 18 Harbourside Mews, Bristol BS1 5LT, United Kingdom. Quirkpickindx Ltd is the data controller for personal data processed through this site.

2. Data we collect

• Messages you send us. When you write to us by email, including through our contact form, which prepares a message in your own email app, we receive your name, email address and the content of your message.
• Planner inputs. The figures you type into the trip planner and calculators are processed only inside your browser. They are not sent to our servers and we cannot see them.
• Consent choices. Your cookie preferences are stored in your browser's local storage so the banner does not reappear.
• Technical logs. Our hosting provider automatically records server logs, including IP address, browser type, pages requested and timestamps, to keep the site secure and working.
• Analytics data. Only if you consent, and only if we enable analytics, we may collect aggregated information about how pages are used.

3. How we use data and our legal bases

We use personal data to reply to your enquiries (legitimate interests, or steps taken at your request), to secure and operate the site (legitimate interests), to understand site usage (consent) and to meet legal obligations such as record-keeping (legal obligation). We do not sell personal data and we do not use it for automated decision-making.

4. Cookies and similar technologies

We use essential browser storage to remember your consent choice. Analytics and functional storage are used only with your permission. Full details, including a table of the items we use and how to opt out, are in our cookie policy.

5. Third-party processors

We rely on a small number of service providers who process data on our behalf under written data processing agreements: a website hosting provider, an email service provider and, if enabled with your consent, an analytics provider. Where a processor transfers data outside the UK or European Economic Area, we rely on appropriate safeguards such as the UK International Data Transfer Agreement or the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses.

6. How long we keep data

• Email correspondence: up to 24 months after our last contact, unless a longer period is required by law.
• Server logs: up to 30 days.
• Consent choices: stored in your browser until you clear them or change your preferences.
• Analytics data, if collected: up to 14 months in aggregated form.

You have the right to access your personal data, to have it corrected or erased, to restrict or object to its processing, to data portability and to withdraw consent at any time. To exercise any right, contact us using the details below; we will respond within one month.

8. Your rights under the CCPA

If you are a California resident, you have the right to know what personal information we collect and how it is used, to request deletion or correction, and to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information. We do not sell or share personal information for cross-context behavioural advertising. We will not discriminate against you for exercising these rights.
