THE INFORMATION TRAIL
Privacy policy
Controller and scope
Virtual Office Direct is the controller for personal information collected through this website. For privacy questions, contact contact@virtualofficedirect.co.uk.
Information we may collect
We may receive technical information such as IP address, browser type, device information, pages viewed, referral information, approximate location and cookie identifiers. If you contact us, we may receive your name, email address and message.
Purposes and lawful bases
We use information to operate, secure and improve the site, respond to messages, understand aggregate readership and measure the performance of affiliate links. Depending on the activity, our lawful basis may be consent, legitimate interests, legal obligation or steps requested before entering an arrangement.
Cookies and analytics
Cookies and similar technologies may remember preferences, help us understand aggregate usage and support measurement. You can control cookies through your browser settings. Some controls may affect site features or measurement quality.
Affiliate tracking and third parties
A qualifying link may take you to a merchant or affiliate network that uses its own cookies or identifiers to record an eligible referral. Those third parties control their own privacy notices, terms and technology.
Sharing and international transfers
We may use service providers for hosting, analytics, security and email. They process information only as needed to provide their services. If information is transferred outside the UK or EEA, we use appropriate safeguards where required by law.
Retention
We keep information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose collected, to maintain records, resolve disputes, meet legal obligations or protect the site.
Your UK and EU rights
Subject to applicable law, you may have rights to access, correct, erase, restrict, object to processing or request portability. You may also complain to the UK Information Commissioner's Office or your local EEA authority.
Children and security
The site is not directed to children. We use reasonable technical and organisational safeguards, but no online service can promise absolute security.
Changes and contact
We may update this policy as the site changes. The latest version appears at this route. Contact contact@virtualofficedirect.co.uk with privacy questions.
