Privacy Policy
Last updated: 2026
This Privacy Policy explains how personal data is collected and used when you visit DepositDesk UK. We take the protection of your personal data seriously. We process it in accordance with the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR), the Data Protection Act 2018 and the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR).
1. Who Is Responsible for Your Data
The controller responsible for data processing on this website is the operator of DepositDesk UK. You can reach the operator via the contact form on the website. The operator publishes its legal details separately.
2. What Data We Collect
DepositDesk UK is an information website. You do not need to create an account, and we do not ask for payment details. We may process the following categories of data:
- Server log data. When you access the website, your browser automatically sends technical information. This includes your IP address, the date and time of access, the pages visited, the referring website, the browser type and version, and the operating system. This data is necessary to deliver the website and keep it secure.
- Cookies and similar technologies. We use strictly necessary cookies. With your consent, we also use analytics and other optional cookies. Details are set out in our Cookie Policy.
- Analytics data. If you consent, we collect information about how visitors use the website, for example which pages are viewed, how long visits last and which device type is used. Where possible, IP addresses are shortened or anonymised.
- Contact data. If you contact us via the contact form, we process the information you provide in order to respond. This may include your name, email address and message.
We do not knowingly collect special category data. We do not knowingly collect data from anyone under the age of 18.
3. Purposes and Legal Bases
We process personal data only where a lawful basis applies under Article 6 of the UK GDPR:
- Legitimate interests (Article 6(1)(f)): to provide a stable, secure website, to prevent misuse and to analyse technical errors.
- Consent (Article 6(1)(a)): for analytics, functional and marketing cookies and similar technologies, as required by PECR. You can withdraw your consent at any time with effect for the future.
- Steps taken at your request (Article 6(1)(b)) or legitimate interests: to answer enquiries sent through the contact form.
- Legal obligation (Article 6(1)(c)): where we must retain or disclose data to comply with the law.
4. Sharing of Data
We do not sell personal data. We may share data with carefully selected service providers who help us operate the website, such as hosting, security, content delivery, analytics and consent management providers. These providers act as processors on our behalf under written contracts. They may only use the data according to our instructions.
When you click a link to an external website, including an operator’s website, that site is responsible for its own data processing. We recommend reading the privacy policy of any website you visit.
5. International Transfers
Some service providers may process data outside the United Kingdom. In such cases, we make sure an adequate level of protection is in place. Examples include UK adequacy regulations, the International Data Transfer Agreement and the UK Addendum to the EU Standard Contractual Clauses.
6. How Long We Keep Data
We keep personal data only for as long as it is needed for the purposes described above:
- Server log data is usually deleted after a short period, unless it is needed to investigate a security incident.
- Analytics data is stored in aggregated or pseudonymised form for a limited period.
- Contact enquiries are deleted once the matter has been dealt with, unless there is a legal reason to keep them longer.
- Cookie lifetimes are listed in our Cookie Policy.
7. Your Rights
Under the UK GDPR, you have the following rights regarding your personal data:
- Right of access: to obtain confirmation of whether we process your data and a copy of it.
- Right to rectification: to have inaccurate data corrected.
- Right to erasure: to have your data deleted where there is no reason to keep it.
- Right to restriction: to limit how your data is used in certain circumstances.
- Right to data portability: to receive data you provided in a structured, machine-readable format.
- Right to object: to object to processing based on legitimate interests.
- Right to withdraw consent: at any time, without affecting the lawfulness of earlier processing.
To exercise your rights, please use the contact form on the website. We will respond within one month, as required by law.
You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO), the UK’s data protection authority, at ico.org.uk. We would, however, appreciate the chance to address your concerns first.
8. Cookies
Cookies are small text files stored on your device. We use strictly necessary cookies without consent because the website cannot function properly without them. All other cookies are only set after you have given your consent via the cookie banner. You can change your choices at any time via the “Cookie Settings” link in the footer of the website. Full details are available in our Cookie Policy.
9. Security
We use appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect personal data against loss, misuse and unauthorised access. The website is delivered over an encrypted HTTPS connection. No method of transmission over the internet is completely secure, so we review our measures regularly.
10. Children
This website is intended for adults aged 18 and over. We do not knowingly process personal data of children. If you believe a child has provided personal data to us, please contact us via the contact form and we will delete it.
11. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes in the law, our services or our service providers. The current version is always available on this page. The date at the top shows when it was last updated.
