Who is responsible
Ottercrimsonvally Design Media Ltd is responsible for personal data it receives in connection with this website and editorial correspondence. Our registered office is 11 St Pauls Square, Birmingham B3 1RB, United Kingdom; company no. 14730586. Contact [email protected] for privacy enquiries.
Information used while browsing
The supplied website does not contain analytics, advertising pixels, account registration or third-party embedded widgets. Serving a website necessarily involves technical requests, including an IP address and request information. Hosting infrastructure may process access and security logs to deliver the pages, prevent abuse and investigate faults. Those records are separate from the local enquiry tool.
We rely on legitimate interests in operating and protecting the website where personal data is necessary for those purposes, subject to your rights and a proportionate assessment of the processing.
The local enquiry worksheet
Text entered on the Contact page is used in browser memory to create a plain-text preview. The site’s script does not submit it to a server or save it in localStorage. Copying uses your device clipboard when permitted; downloading creates a text file on your device. Your browser, operating system or clipboard synchronisation settings may retain data independently.
Closing or reloading the page discards the site’s in-memory worksheet state, although your browser may offer its own form restoration. Keep downloaded files and clipboard contents secure. Avoid entering sensitive information or personal details about others.
If you email us
If you choose to send an email, we receive your address, message and any information you include. We use this to assess and respond to enquiries, investigate corrections and maintain an appropriate correspondence record. The usual basis is our legitimate interest in handling editorial communication; legal obligations may provide a separate basis where applicable.
We retain correspondence only as long as reasonably needed for the enquiry, related follow-up and any applicable legal or dispute-management requirement. Relevance and necessity determine retention; correspondence is not retained indefinitely by default. You may ask us about retention of a particular exchange.
Recipients and international processing
Hosting and email service providers may process technical records or correspondence on our behalf. Information may also be disclosed where required by law or necessary to establish or defend legal claims. We do not sell your personal data. If a service arrangement involves a restricted international transfer, applicable UK data protection safeguards are required.
Browser preferences
The cookie preference controls use localStorage to remember a choice and its update time. They do not store your name or worksheet text. Read the Cookies page for the storage key, choices and deletion instructions.
Your rights
Depending on the circumstances, UK data protection law provides rights to access, correct or erase personal data, restrict processing, object to processing and receive certain data in a portable form. Where processing relies on consent, you can withdraw it without affecting earlier lawful processing. These rights have conditions and exceptions.
Write to the editorial address with enough information to identify the relevant interaction. We may request proportionate identity information before disclosing personal data. You may complain to the UK Information Commissioner’s Office at ico.org.uk, including if you are dissatisfied with our response.
Updates
We will revise this notice when the website’s processing changes. The effective date identifies the current notice. Material changes should be reviewed before you decide what information to share.
