Who we are
This privacy policy applies to the website yardleyhome.eu ("the site"), an independent information resource covering smart home automation technologies. The site is operated from Poland. Contact: contact@yardleyhome.eu.
What data we collect
The site collects minimal data:
- Contact form submissions — name, phone number (optional), email address, and message content. This data is used only to respond to your enquiry and is not shared with third parties.
- Server access logs — standard web server logs recording IP addresses, browser type, and pages visited. These are retained for a maximum of 30 days and used only for diagnosing technical issues.
- Cookies — a single cookie is set to record your cookie consent choice. No tracking cookies, advertising cookies, or third-party analytics cookies are used.
Cookies
We use one functional cookie (yh_cookie_consent) to store your consent decision. This cookie contains no personal information and expires after 365 days. No other cookies are set by this site.
When you visit the site for the first time, a banner is displayed asking for your consent. Clicking "Accept" or "Reject" records your choice and the banner is not shown again.
Legal basis for processing
Personal data submitted via the contact form is processed on the basis of your consent (Article 6(1)(a) GDPR) and, where applicable, our legitimate interest in responding to enquiries (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR).
Data retention
Contact form data is retained for as long as necessary to handle the relevant correspondence and for a period of up to 2 years thereafter. You may request deletion at any time by contacting us.
Your rights
Under GDPR, you have the right to:
- Access the personal data we hold about you.
- Request correction of inaccurate data.
- Request deletion of your data.
- Object to processing based on legitimate interests.
- Lodge a complaint with the Polish Data Protection Authority (UODO): uodo.gov.pl.
