Privacy Policy

2. What Data We Collect

We collect personal data only when you actively provide it to us. This occurs in the following circumstances:

• Contact form submissions. When you use the contact form on this website, we collect your name, email address, and the content of your message.
• Email correspondence. When you write to us directly at [email protected], we retain your email address and the content of your message.
• Browsing data. When you visit this website, our server logs may collect your IP address, browser type, operating system, and pages visited. This data is used solely for the functioning and security of the website.
• Cookies. This website uses cookies as described in our Cookie Policy. Cookies may collect data about your browsing behaviour on this site.

3. How We Use Your Data

Personal data collected by Elgon Press is used only for the purposes described at the point of collection. Specifically:

• Contact form data is used to respond to your enquiry and is not retained beyond the period necessary for that purpose.
• Server log data is used to maintain the security and functioning of the website and is not used for profiling or targeted communications.
• We do not use personal data to send unsolicited marketing communications. We do not subscribe you to mailing lists without explicit consent.

4. Legal Basis for Processing

Under UK GDPR, we process personal data on the following legal bases:

• Legitimate interests — for server logs and website security, where the interest does not override your rights.
• Consent — for non-essential cookies, where your consent is recorded at the point of browsing.
• Performance of a task — for contact form data, used solely to respond to your enquiry.

5. Data Sharing

We do not sell, rent, or share personal data with third parties for marketing purposes. Limited data sharing may occur only in the following circumstances:

• With hosting providers who process server log data as part of the technical infrastructure required to operate this website. These providers act as data processors under written agreements.
• Where required by law or regulatory authority, in which case we will inform you unless we are legally prevented from doing so.

6. Data Retention

We retain personal data only for as long as is necessary for the stated purpose:

• Contact form and email correspondence: up to 12 months from the date of last communication, unless a longer period is required by the nature of the correspondence.
• Server logs: up to 90 days, after which data is anonymised or deleted.
• Cookie data: as set out in the Cookie Policy, which governs duration per cookie category.

7. Your Rights Under UK GDPR

You have the following rights in relation to any personal data we hold about you:

• Right of access. You may request a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
• Right to rectification. You may ask us to correct inaccurate data.
• Right to erasure. You may ask us to delete personal data where there is no longer a lawful basis for holding it.
• Right to restrict processing. You may ask us to limit how we use your data in certain circumstances.
• Right to object. You may object to data processing carried out on the basis of legitimate interests.
• Right to withdraw consent. Where processing is based on your consent, you may withdraw it at any time without affecting the lawfulness of prior processing.

To exercise any of these rights, please write to [email protected]. We will respond within 30 days. If you are not satisfied with our response, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) at ico.org.uk.

8. Third-Party Links

This website may contain links to external publications or research sources. Once you navigate away from elgon.info, this Privacy Policy no longer applies. We encourage you to review the privacy practices of any external website before providing personal information there.

9. Security

We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect personal data from unauthorised access, disclosure, or loss. This website uses HTTPS encryption for all data in transit. However, no method of electronic transmission is entirely secure, and we cannot warrant absolute security.

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our data practices or applicable law. The date of the most recent revision appears at the top of this page. Continued use of this website following any update constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
