This page has not been reviewed yet
It is a starting point, not legal advice. Every bracketed placeholder below must be replaced by a person, and the whole document read by a qualified lawyer in the relevant jurisdiction, before this site goes live.
Who this policy is from
This policy describes how [ENTITY] handles personal information collected through this website. [ENTITY] is responsible for the information described here, and is governed by the law of [JURISDICTION].
What is collected
When you contact [ENTITY] through this site, [ENTITY] receives whatever you choose to send. That is usually your name, the contact details you write to or call from, and the content of your message.
Where the site is served by a hosting provider or a content delivery network, that provider may record technical information about the request, such as an IP address, the page requested and the time. This is ordinary server logging and [ENTITY] does not use it to identify individual visitors.
Why it is collected
To answer you, to provide the services you ask for, and to keep the records [ENTITY] is required to keep under the law of [JURISDICTION]. [ENTITY] does not sell personal information.
Cookies and analytics
If this site sets cookies, or uses an analytics service, that must be described here, along with what each cookie does and how long it lasts. A site that sets none should say so plainly and delete the rest of this section rather than leaving a general statement that might not be true.
Who else sees it
[ENTITY] shares personal information only with the service providers it needs in order to run the site and deliver its services, with anyone you have asked it to share with, and where the law of [JURISDICTION] requires disclosure. Each of those providers should be named here once they are known.
How long it is kept
Personal information is kept only for as long as it is needed for the purpose it was collected for, or for as long as the law of [JURISDICTION] requires it to be kept. The actual retention periods [ENTITY] applies belong here, in place of this sentence.
Your rights
The law of [JURISDICTION] gives you rights over the personal information [ENTITY] holds about you. Depending on where you are, those usually include:
- asking what personal information is held about you, and getting a copy
- asking for information that is wrong or out of date to be corrected
- asking for information to be deleted, where the law allows it
- objecting to a particular use of your information
- complaining to the regulator responsible in [JURISDICTION]
The rights that actually apply, and how to exercise them, must be confirmed against the law of [JURISDICTION] before this page is published.
Keeping it safe
[ENTITY] takes reasonable steps to protect the personal information it holds against loss, misuse and unauthorised access. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and [ENTITY] cannot promise absolute security.
Children
This site is not directed at children. If [ENTITY] learns it has collected personal information from a child in circumstances the law of [JURISDICTION] does not permit, it will delete that information.
Changes to this policy
This policy may change. The current version is always the one published on this page, and the date it last changed is shown at the top. Where a change is significant, [ENTITY] will take reasonable steps to bring it to your attention.
How to get in touch
Questions about this policy, or a request about your personal information, go to [CONTACT]. [ENTITY] will respond within the time the law of [JURISDICTION] allows.
