This Privacy Policy explains how Alan K Fowler collects and uses personal information submitted through the contact form on this website.

This website does not use Google Analytics. It is not intended to collect personal information for marketing, profiling or advertising purposes.

The only personal information actively collected through this website is the information you choose to provide when using the contact form.

The UK GDPR requires privacy information to be clear about what personal data is used, why it is used, the lawful basis, how long it is kept, who it is shared with, and what rights people have. (Information Commissioner’s Office)

The person responsible for personal information collected through this website is:

Alan K Fowler

You can contact Alan using the contact form on this website.

When you submit the contact form, Alan may collect:

  • your name
  • your email address
  • your organisation or role, if you choose to provide it
  • your reason for contacting Alan
  • the contents of your message
  • any other information you choose to include in the form

Lawful basis for using your information

Alan uses personal information from the contact form on the basis of legitimate interests.

The legitimate interest is being able to receive, read and respond to messages from people who have chosen to contact Alan through the website.

The ICO explains that organisations must identify and explain their lawful basis for using personal information. (Information Commissioner’s Office)


Who your information is shared with

Alan will only share your personal information where necessary.

Your contact form message may be processed by the website, hosting, form or email services used to receive and manage the enquiry.

Alan may also share information if required by law, or where necessary to protect his legal rights.

Your information will not be sold or shared for unrelated marketing.


How long your information is kept

Contact form enquiries will usually be kept only for as long as needed to respond and manage any follow-up conversation.

As a guide, Alan may keep contact form messages for up to 12 months after the last contact, unless:

  • the conversation continues
  • a longer period is needed for practical or legal reasons
  • you ask for the information to be deleted and there is no reason to keep it

Your rights

You have rights over your personal information. These may include the right to:

  • ask for a copy of your personal information
  • ask for inaccurate information to be corrected
  • ask for your information to be deleted
  • ask for the use of your information to be restricted
  • object to certain uses of your information

The ICO provides guidance on individual data protection rights and complaints. (Information Commissioner’s Office)


Security

Alan takes reasonable steps to keep contact form information secure.

However, no website or email system can be guaranteed to be completely secure. Please take care when deciding what information to include in your message.
