Welcome to ninrainham.co.uk (“we”, “us”, “our”, “the Site”). We are committed to protecting and respecting your privacy. This policy explains how we collect, use, disclose and safeguard your personal information when you visit our website and use our services.

By using the Site, you accept the practices described in this policy and consent to the processing of your personal data as set out herein.

    • IP address, browser type and version, time zone setting, browser plug-in types and versions, operating system and platform, click streams to, through and from our Site (including date and time), pages you viewed or searched for, page response times, download errors, length of visits to certain pages, page interaction information (such as scrolling, clicks, and hover behaviour), and methods used to browse away from the page.

  • Cookies and similar technologies:

    • We use cookies or similar tracking technologies to collect information about your browsing behaviour and preferences to personalise and enhance your experience. (See Section 7 for more on cookies.)

3. How we use your information
We use the information we collect for purposes including:

  • To provide, operate and maintain the Site and our services.

  • To process your enquiries, requests, or transactions.

  • To manage our relationship with you (including responding to your communications, providing support, notifying you of changes).

  • To send you marketing communications (with your consent, where required).

  • To monitor and analyse usage, trends, and activities to improve our Site and services.

  • To detect, prevent and address security risks, fraud or other inappropriate or unlawful activity.

  • To fulfil legal or regulatory obligations.

4. Legal basis for processing (UK/EU users)
Where applicable, we rely on the following legal bases to process your personal data:

  • Consent: where you have given clear consent for us to process your personal data for a specific purpose (e.g., subscribing to a newsletter).

  • Contract: processing is necessary for the performance of a contract to which you are a party (e.g., you engage us to provide a service).

  • Legitimate interests: processing is necessary for our legitimate interests (and these interests are not overridden by your rights) — for example, monitoring Site performance or improving user experience.

  • Legal obligation: processing is necessary to comply with legal obligations (e.g., accounting, anti-fraud, security).

5. Disclosure of your information
We may share your personal data with third parties in the following circumstances:

  • With service providers, contractors or agents who perform services on our behalf (such as hosting, email delivery, analytics, customer-relationship management).

  • Where required by law or regulation (for example, responding to a court order or a request from a regulatory authority).

  • In connection with a corporate transaction (e.g., sale, merger, reorganisation) involving the Site or our business, provided the receiving party agrees to comply with this policy.

  • With your consent or at your direction.

We do not sell, rent or lease your personal information to third parties for marketing purposes.

6. International transfers
If we transfer your personal data outside the UK or EEA, we will ensure appropriate safeguards are in place (such as standard contractual clauses) and that the transfer is lawful under applicable data protection laws.

7. Cookies and tracking technologies
Our Site uses cookies and similar technologies. Cookies are small files placed on your device when you visit the Site. We use them to enable Site functionality, remember your preferences, authenticate you, and analyse how you use the Site.

  • You may accept or decline cookies via your browser settings or any cookie banner we provide.

  • Disabling some cookies may affect your user experience.

  • You can learn more about cookies and how to manage them at www.allaboutcookies.org or www.youronlinechoices.com.

8. Data retention
We retain your personal information only as long as necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, including to comply with legal, accounting or regulatory requirements.
When there is no ongoing legitimate business or legal reason for retaining your data, we will either delete it or anonymise it so that it no longer identifies you.

9. Your rights
Under applicable data protection laws, you may have the following rights in respect of your personal data:

  • The right to access — you may ask for a copy of the personal data we hold about you.

  • The right to rectification — you may ask us to correct inaccurate or incomplete data.

  • The right to erasure (the “right to be forgotten”) — in certain circumstances you can request deletion of your personal data.

  • The right to restrict processing — you can ask us to limit how we use your data.

  • The right to portability — you can ask us to provide your data in a usable format or transfer it to another controller.

  • The right to object — you can object to processing based on legitimate interests or direct marketing.

  • If you have provided consent, you have the right to withdraw it at any time.

  • The right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority (in the UK, the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO)) if you believe our processing of your personal data is unlawful.

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at the details in Section 11. We may ask you to verify your identity before responding to your request.

10. Data security
We implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect your personal data from accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorised disclosure or access. However, no transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure — so we cannot guarantee absolute security.
