2. What Data Is Collected
This website collects a minimal amount of data to understand how the site is used and to maintain its operation. The categories of data collected are as follows.
Server logs
Web servers automatically record basic technical information when a page is requested. This includes the IP address of the requesting device, the page requested, the date and time of the request, and the browser type. Server logs are retained for a maximum of 30 days for security and operational purposes and are then deleted. They are not used for profiling or tracking individuals.
Analytics data
This website uses a privacy-respecting analytics tool (either Fathom Analytics or Plausible Analytics) to understand aggregate page visit patterns. This tool does not set cookies. It does not collect personally identifiable information. It does not transfer data to advertising networks or data brokers. The analytics data collected is aggregated and anonymised. It cannot be used to identify individual visitors. The analytics provider processes data in accordance with its own privacy policy and GDPR obligations.
Because no cookies are set and no personal data is collected by the analytics tool, no cookie consent banner is required under UK GDPR and the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations.
No forms, no email capture
This website contains no contact forms, no email subscription forms, and no data input fields of any kind. The only data transmission initiated by a visitor is when a visitor chooses to send an email to one of the contact addresses listed on the Contact page, which is handled by the visitor's own email service and is outside the scope of this policy.
3. Legal Basis for Processing
Server log data is processed on the basis of legitimate interests (maintaining the security and operation of the website). Analytics data is processed on the basis of legitimate interests (understanding aggregate usage patterns to improve the website). No data is processed on the basis of consent, because no consent mechanism is required given the nature of the data collected.
4. Data Retention
Server log data is retained for a maximum of 30 days. Analytics data is retained for 24 months in aggregated, anonymised form. No personally identifiable data derived from website visits is retained beyond these periods.
5. Data Sharing
No personal data collected through this website is sold, rented, or transferred to third parties for commercial purposes. The analytics provider receives aggregated, anonymised usage data only. No data is shared with advertising networks, data brokers, or social media platforms through this website.
This website contains links to third-party websites. Once a visitor navigates to a third-party site, that site's own privacy policy applies. The Oakworth Group is not responsible for the data practices of any third-party website.
6. Cookies
This website does not set any cookies. No first-party cookies. No third-party tracking cookies. No session cookies beyond what the web server may set transiently for operational purposes. No cookie consent banner is displayed because no consent is required.
7. Your Rights
Under UK GDPR, individuals have rights in relation to personal data held about them. Given that this website collects no personally identifiable data from visitors, the practical scope of these rights in the context of this website is limited.
