UK GDPR Compliance
At Bristol Referees Hub, 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 collect or 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 Bristol Referees Hub does not require users to register or submit personal information, we may automatically collect limited data through website analytics, server logs, and cookies to improve user experience and site functionality. This page outlines how such data is handled under UK GDPR.
Your Rights Under UK GDPR
Under UK GDPR, you have the following rights in relation to your personal data:
- Right of access – You may request confirmation of whether we hold any of your personal data.
- Right to rectification – If any data we hold about you is inaccurate, you may request correction.
- Right to erasure – You may request deletion of your personal data where applicable.
- Right to restrict processing – You may request we limit 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 our processing of your data, including for analytics purposes.
How We Comply
As an informational blog with no user accounts or databases, we do not actively collect or store personal data beyond what is automatically generated by your visit:
- We use anonymised analytics tools to understand site traffic patterns.
- Cookies are used only for essential functionality and user preference storage (e.g., language settings), with no tracking or profiling.
- Server logs contain only IP addresses and timestamps, which are automatically deleted after 30 days.
- We do not sell, share, or disclose personal data to third parties.
Data We Process
The only personal data we may process includes:
- IP addresses (anonymised and retained for 30 days)
- Browser type and device information (for technical functionality)
- Cookies for session and preference management (no persistent tracking)
Legal Basis for Processing
Our processing of personal data is based on legitimate interest under Article 6(1)(f) UK GDPR. This includes ensuring website security, improving user experience, and maintaining operational functionality. We balance this interest against your rights and freedoms, and we do not process data for profiling or automated decision-making.
