UK GDPR Compliance
At Arachnid Web Solutions, we are committed to protecting your personal data in accordance with the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR). This page explains how we comply with your rights under UK GDPR, even though we do not store personal data through user registration or databases.
Scope and Applicability
The UK GDPR applies to the processing of personal data of individuals in the UK. While Arachnid Web Solutions does not collect personal information through forms, accounts, or subscriptions, we may automatically collect limited data via website analytics and server logs — such as IP addresses, browser types, and usage patterns — for site functionality and performance monitoring. This data is processed solely for legitimate business interests and is not used to identify individuals directly.
Your Rights Under UK GDPR
Under the UK GDPR, you have the following rights:
- Right of access: You may request confirmation of whether we process any of your personal data.
- Right to rectification: You may request correction of inaccurate personal data.
- Right to erasure: You may request deletion of your personal data where applicable.
- Right to restriction of processing: You may request limitation of how your data is used.
- Right to data portability: You may request a copy of your data in a structured, machine-readable format.
- Right to object: You may object to processing based on legitimate interests, including profiling.
How We Comply
We do not maintain databases of personal information. Any data collected automatically (e.g., via Google Analytics or server logs) is anonymized where possible, retained only for as long as necessary for technical and security purposes, and never linked to identifiable individuals without explicit consent or legal requirement. We conduct regular reviews of our data handling practices to ensure ongoing compliance with UK GDPR principles.
Data We Process
Under UK GDPR, the personal data we may process includes:
- IP addresses (automatically logged)
- Browser and device information
- Pages visited and time spent on site
- Cookie identifiers (for analytics and functionality)
This data is collected only through passive means and is not stored in a way that enables direct identification of individuals.
Legal Basis for Processing
Our processing of personal data is based on legitimate interest under Article 6(1)(f) of the UK GDPR. This includes ensuring website security, improving user experience, and analyzing traffic patterns to enhance site performance. We balance these interests against your rights and freedoms, and we do not process data for profiling or automated decision-making.
How to Exercise Your Rights
To exercise any of your rights under UK GDPR, please contact us by email at [email protected]. Include your full name, the right you wish to exercise, and any relevant details (e.g., IP address or date of visit if known). We will respond without undue delay and within one month.
Response Timeframes
We are required by UK GDPR to respond to requests within one month of receipt. In complex cases, we may extend this period by up to two additional months, and we will inform you of any extension and the reasons for it.
No Discrimination Policy
We will never deny you services, charge different prices, or provide a lower quality of service because you exercised your rights under UK GDPR. Your decision to access, correct, or delete your data is respected and will not affect your ability to use our website.
Updates and Changes
We may update this UK GDPR Compliance page periodically to reflect changes in law or our practices. The most recent version will always be posted here with an updated effective date. We recommend reviewing this page regularly.
