Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy explains how terry-mathewson.site (“we”, “us”, or “our”) handles information when you visit this website. This site is currently a placeholder (“coming soon”) page. We aim to process personal data fairly, lawfully, and transparently, in line with applicable data-protection laws including the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) where it applies.
1. Who we are
This website is operated under the domain terry-mathewson.site. For privacy-related questions, you may contact us via the email address that will be published on this site once it is fully launched, or through any contact method clearly indicated on the site at that time.
2. What data we collect
Depending on how you use the site, we may process:
- Email address — if you voluntarily submit it through a “notify me” or similar form so we can tell you when the site launches.
- Technical and usage data — such as IP address, browser type, device type, and pages visited, typically collected automatically by hosting or analytics tools if enabled.
- Cookie preferences — stored locally in your browser so we remember your consent choice.
We do not intentionally collect special-category (sensitive) personal data.
3. Why we process data (legal bases)
- Consent — for optional notifications and non-essential cookies, where you have given clear permission.
- Legitimate interests — to operate, secure, and improve the website, provided those interests are not overridden by your rights.
- Legal obligation — where we must retain or disclose information to comply with applicable law.
4. How we use information
We may use information to:
- Respond to launch-notification requests;
- Maintain site security and diagnose technical issues;
- Remember your cookie preferences;
- Comply with legal requirements.
We do not sell your personal data.
5. Cookies
We use cookies and similar technologies as described in our Cookie Policy. You can accept or decline non-essential cookies via the banner shown on your first visit.
6. Sharing and processors
We may share data with service providers who help us host the website, deliver email, or provide analytics — only as needed to perform those services and under appropriate safeguards. We may also disclose information if required by law or to protect our rights and users’ safety.
7. International transfers
If personal data is transferred outside the European Economic Area, we will take reasonable steps to ensure an adequate level of protection, such as standard contractual clauses or another lawful transfer mechanism where required.
8. Retention
We keep personal data only as long as necessary for the purposes described above, including to meet legal, accounting, or reporting requirements. Notification emails are typically retained until we have announced the launch (or you ask us to remove them), then deleted or anonymised within a reasonable period.
9. Your rights
Where GDPR or similar laws apply, you may have the right to:
- Access the personal data we hold about you;
- Request correction or deletion;
- Restrict or object to certain processing;
- Receive your data in a portable format;
- Withdraw consent at any time (without affecting prior lawful processing);
- Lodge a complaint with your local supervisory authority.
To exercise these rights, contact us using the details available on this site when published. We may need to verify your identity before responding.
10. Children
This site is not directed at children under 16. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If you believe a child has provided us with data, please contact us so we can delete it.
11. Changes
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The “Last updated” date at the top will reflect the latest revision. Continued use of the site after changes constitutes awareness of the updated policy where permitted by law.
