Introduction

 

This page explains how and why we collect, and use, your personal information when you visit CHIMiRA’s website (chimira.co.uk).

 

Who will process my personal information?

 

When you view or use chimira.co.uk, CHIMiRA (‘we’, ‘us’) is the data controller.

 

If you follow a link from this website to another website, we recommend that you read the privacy policy on that website to find out what it does with your information.

 

What personal information is collected, and why?

 

For site security and performance

 

When you visit our website, our hosting provider collects the request made by your browser to the server hosting the website. This includes your IP address, the date and time of connection, the version of the web browser you are using, and the page you ask for. This information is used to ensure the security and reliability of our website, and is retained only for as long as necessary for that purpose. Our website is hosted by Netlify; server logging and retention are managed by Netlify in accordance with its own security and data-retention practices. We may need to use and disclose this information as necessary in the event of a security concern or incident.

 

Cookies

 

Our website uses only essential cookies – those strictly necessary for the website to function and to be served securely to you. We do not use cookies for analytics, advertising or tracking, and we do not build a profile of your visit. Because we use only essential cookies, no cookie consent banner is required and you are not asked to opt in.

 

Some of our pages embed videos hosted by Vimeo. These are embedded in privacy-enhanced mode, which means Vimeo does not set tracking cookies or use information about your visit to target advertising. If you play a video, Vimeo may collect limited information necessary to deliver it; for more information, please see Vimeo’s privacy policy.

 

What should you expect to happen with the information?

 

The use of your personal information in the ways described above is necessary for our legitimate interests in operating, maintaining and securing our website. Where you chooseto contact us – for example, by using our contact form – we use the information you provide for the purpose of responding to your enquiry.

 

We are committed to respecting the information you trust us with. We do all that we can to keep your data secure. We have established systems and processes to prevent unauthorised access or disclosure of your data - for example, we protect your data using varying levels of encryption. We also make sure that any third parties that we deal with keep all personal data they process on our behalf secure.

 

Where we do need to collect any additional personal data not listed above via our website, you will be told at that time about the use we will make of that information. For example, you may choose to send us a message using our contact form.

 

Where your data is processed and stored

 

We design, build and run our systems to make sure that your data is as safe as possible, both while it’s processed and when it’s stored.

 

We may need to transfer your personal information outside of the United Kingdom in order to provide you with the services and products you require or as necessary for our legitimate interests. Any such transfers are carried out with safeguards in place to ensure the confidentiality and security of your personal information. Transfers are protected either by ‘adequacy regulations’ issued by the UK Government (declaring the recipient country as a ‘safe’ territory for personal data) or by standard contractual clauses issued by the UK Information Commissioner’s Office (which give obligations for the recipient to safeguard the data).

 

Children’s privacy protection

 

Our services are not designed for, or intentionally targeted at, children 13 years of age or younger. We do not intentionally collect or maintain data about anyone under the age of 13.

 

Your rights and how to get further information

 

You have rights over your personal information, including the rights to access it, to have it corrected or erased, and to object to or restrict its use. To exercise any of these rights, or if you have any questions about this notice, please contact us at info@chimira.co.uk. If you are not satisfied with how we have handled your personal information, you have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) at ico.org.uk.
