Privacy Notice.
Last updated: 19th November 2023.
I, Hh Style, am committed to maintaining the trust and confidence of my clients both in person and on this website. I respect your privacy and promise to handle your data fairly and legally at all times. I do not sell, rent or trade email lists with other companies and businesses for marketing purposes - I offer bespoke services to suit my clients and that’s it.
In this policy, which applies when you visit my website, you’ll find lots of detailed information about:
how I use your data;
what personal data I collect;
how I ensure your privacy is maintained; and
your legal rights relating to your personal data.
So grab a coffee (or something stronger), this may take a while…
General information
The use of the products and services I offer may result in the processing of personal data. The term “personal data” under data protection law refers to all information relating to a specific or identifiable person. An IP address can also be considered personal data. An IP address is assigned to each device connected to the internet by the internet service provider, so that it can send and receive data. When you use the website, I collect data that you provide yourself. In addition, when you use the website, I automatically collect certain information about your use of it.
I process personal data in compliance with the relevant data protection regulations of the GDPR, the DPA (Data Protection Act) and the PECR (Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations). I will only process data where I am legally permitted to do so. When you use this website, I will process personal data only with your consent, for the performance of a contract to which you are a party, or in order to take steps at your request prior to entering into a contract, for compliance with a legal obligation or if the processing is necessary for the purposes of our legitimate interests or the legitimate interests of a third party, except where such interests are overridden by your interests or fundamental rights and freedoms which require the protection of personal data.
Storing data
Unless otherwise stated in the following sections, I will store the data only as long as necessary to achieve the purpose of processing or to fulfil our contractual or statutory obligations.
Transmission of data
Unless otherwise stated in the following sections, data will be processed on the servers of technical service providers commissioned by us for this purpose. These service providers will only process the data after having received express instructions and they are contractually obliged to guarantee adequate technical and organisational measures for data protection.
Insofar as I refer to integrated services of other providers in this Data Protection Declaration, it can be assumed that personal data will be transmitted to the specified headquarters of these providers. These providers may be based in a so-called third country outside the European Union or the European Economic Area. Further information can be found in the sections describing each service.
Cookies
My website uses cookies to collect information. This includes information about browsing behaviour by people who access my website. This includes information about pages viewed and the customer journey around my website. Detailed information is set out in my Cookie Policy.
Visitor tracking
Google Analytics
I like to know which parts of my website my clients are enjoying so I use Google Analytics to collect standard internet log information and details of visitor behaviour on my website. Google Analytics collects information from users such as age, gender, interests, demographics, how often they visit my website, what pages they visit, and what other websites they have used before coming to my website. I use the information we get from Google Analytics to analyse traffic, re-market my services to users, improve my marketing, advertising, and generally improve the website experience. I have enabled Google Analytics advertising features such as re-marketing with Google Analytics, Google Display Network Impression Reporting, and Google Analytics Demographics and Interest Reporting. Google Analytics collects only the IP address assigned to you on the date you visit my website, not your name or other identifying information. Although Google Analytics plants a permanent cookie on your web browser to identify you as a unique user the next time you visit my website, the cookie cannot be used by anyone but Google. Google also uses specific identifiers to help collect information about the use of my website.

Your rights
As the person concerned, you are entitled to exercise your rights against us. In particular, you have the following rights:
In accordance with Article 15 GDPR, you have the right to request information as to whether or not, and to what extent, I process personal data about you.
You have the right to have me correct your data in accordance with Article 16 GDPR.

You have the right to have the processing of your personal data restricted in accordance with Article 18 GDPR.
You have the right, in accordance with Article 20 GDPR, to receive the personal data concerning you that you have provided to me, in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format and to transmit this data to another controller.
