1. Overview and Scope
Sortsptstoryporch Digital Ltd ("we", "our", or "the Company"), registered under company number 14892015 at 74 Porchway Gardens, Suite 3B, Leeds, LS1 4HY, United Kingdom, operates the web portal sortsptstoryporch.shop. This Privacy Policy details the exact principles, legal justifications, and technical protocols governing our handling of personally identifiable data and technical interaction telemetry.
2. Data Collection Protocols
We gather information through two distinct channels: user-provided communications and automated technical logs generated during user sessions.
- Direct Contact Data: When you complete our technical submission forms or contact our editorial desk, we collect your submitted name, email address, message payload, and chosen subject classification.
- Automated Device Telemetry: While utilizing our interactive smartphone comparison tool, our web infrastructure logs truncated IP addresses (anonymized at the subnet level), browser client identifiers, referring URLs, screen resolution parameters, and interaction choices.
3. Lawful Basis for Processing (GDPR & UK DPA 2018)
Under Article 6 of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), processing is executed solely under the following conditions:
- Legitimate Interests: Managing network security, analyzing tool efficiency, mitigating automated scraper abuse, and maintaining site stability.
- Consent: For the placement of optional analytics and telemetry cookies, which can be granted or revoked at any time via our Cookie Management Banner.
- Contractual Performance: Responding directly to technical inquiries, corrections, or consumer queries initiated through our communication interfaces.
4. Third-Party Data Processors
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal data. Data is shared exclusively with verified data processing vendors bound by strict Data Processing Agreements (DPAs):
- Infrastructure & Hosting: Cloud hosting networks situated within the UK and European Economic Area (EEA) providing hardened server clusters.
- Technical Analytics: Privacy-focused aggregate metrics systems designed to count visits without generating cross-site tracking profiles.
5. Your Statutory Rights (GDPR & CCPA/CPRA)
Regardless of your physical residency, we afford comprehensive rights regarding your personal information:
- Right of Access: Request a copy of any personal data we store associated with your email address.
- Right to Rectification: Request correction of erroneous or outdated factual information.
- Right to Erasure ("Right to be Forgotten"): Request immediate removal of historical inquiry correspondence.
- Right to Restrict or Object: Decline automated processing or data aggregation based on legitimate interest justifications.
- Non-Discrimination: California residents exercising CCPA rights will receive the exact same tier of tool access without pricing or performance degradation.
6. Data Retention Schedules
Form communications submitted via our Contact desk are archived for a maximum period of twenty-four (24) months for audit and continuity purposes, after which they are systematically purged. Server security access logs containing truncated network addresses are automatically rotated and overwritten every ninety (90) calendar days.
