This site collects very little about you. By default it runs no analytics, serves its fonts itself and asks you for nothing to read a page. This page says what data we handle, why, for how long, and what rights you have under UK data protection law. It is a draft pending legal review.

## Status of this text

This is a draft. It is published only after review by a lawyer and after the owner's registration with the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) and any data protection fee have been confirmed. Neither is confirmed at the time of writing.

**In short:** treat this as a working draft until the review is complete.

## Who is responsible

The data controller is [legal entity name and registration number: to be supplied by the owner], at [registered office address: to be supplied by the owner]. Contact: [editorial email address: to be supplied by the owner]. See also [about this site](https://seatcheck.uk/about/).

**In short:** one legal entity decides how your data is used.

## What we collect and why

**Personal data handled by this site · source: site configuration · checked 13 November 2026**

| Situation | Data | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| You read a page | Technical request data held in the hosting provider's logs [hosting provider and log retention period: to be supplied by the owner] | Delivering and securing the site |
| You write to us | Your email address and your message | Replying and keeping a record of corrections |
| You follow a link marked Ad | The page you came from, as a source-page tag; the partner's own scripts may then run on the transit page | Passing you to the operator and reporting the referral to the partner |
| Analytics | None by default | Not applicable |

We do not ask you to create an account. We do not use your data for advertising profiles. Once you leave for an operator, its own privacy notice applies.

**In short:** logs, your emails and the referral tag are all we handle by default.

## How long we keep it and who sees it

Emails are kept for [retention period: to be supplied by the owner]. Hosting and email providers process data for us under their terms: [list of processors: to be supplied by the owner]. We do not sell personal data.

**In short:** retention periods and processors are listed once the owner confirms them.

## Your rights

Under the UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018 you can ask to see your data, correct it, have it erased, restrict or object to its use, and receive it in a portable form where the law allows.

Write to the address above. You may also complain to the ICO.

Cookies and similar storage are covered in the [cookie policy](https://seatcheck.uk/cookie-policy/). The rules for using the site are in the [terms of use](https://seatcheck.uk/terms-of-use/).

**In short:** you can ask for access, correction or erasure, and complain to the ICO.
