This notice is a practical draft for the website. The registered legal entity, address, precise supplier list and retention schedule should be confirmed by qualified UK counsel before final reliance.
1. Who controls your data
Cyber Guardians is the controller for personal information collected through this website. Questions or requests can be sent via our contact form. The company’s registered name, number and postal address will be added here once confirmed.
2. Information we collect
When you submit the contact form, we collect your name, work email, company, area of interest and the message you provide. Our hosting and security systems may process IP addresses, browser information, request times and security events. The site also stores your cookie preference and, when you complete it, the Guardian Guide objective and choices in your browser. These guide answers are not transmitted unless you choose to carry them into the contact form and submit an enquiry.
Please do not send special-category data, passwords, incident evidence or other highly sensitive material through the Guardian Guide or public contact form.
3. How and why we use it
- To answer enquiries and take steps you request before entering a contract.
- To deliver agreed services and manage client relationships.
- To protect the site, prevent abuse and maintain audit records based on our legitimate interests and legal duties.
- To meet regulatory, tax, accounting or legal obligations.
We do not sell personal information or use contact-form details for unrelated advertising. Where consent is the lawful basis, you may withdraw it at any time.
5. Retention and security
Website enquiries are normally retained for up to 24 months after the last meaningful contact, unless a contract or legal requirement justifies longer retention. Routine web security logs are normally retained for up to 30 days; security incidents may be retained longer where necessary. Browser preferences remain until you clear them.
We use access controls, encryption in transit, monitoring and data-minimisation practices. No internet service can promise absolute security.
6. Your UK data protection rights
Depending on the circumstances, you may ask for access, correction, erasure, restriction, portability or objection, and may challenge solely automated decisions with legal or similarly significant effects. We may need to verify your identity and normally respond within one month.
You may also complain to the UK Information Commissioner’s Office. We would appreciate the opportunity to resolve concerns first.
7. Children and automated decisions
This business website is not directed to children and we do not knowingly collect children’s data. We do not use website data to make solely automated decisions with legal or similarly significant effects.
8. Changes and contact
We may update this notice as services or law change and will publish the revised date here. For any privacy question or rights request, please get in touch via our contact form.
