Privacy Policy

This privacy policy (“Policy”) explains how Website Operator (“Website Operator”, “we”, “us” or “our”) collects, protects and uses the personally identifiable information (“Personal Information”) you (“User”, “you” or “your”) may provide on the mywebworld.co.uk website and any of its products or services (collectively, “Website” or “Services”).

It also explains the choices available to you regarding our use of your Personal Information and how you can access and update this information. This Policy does not apply to the practices of companies that we do not own or control, or to individuals that we do not employ or manage.

Automatic collection of information

Customer data security is essential, so we maintain a no logs policy. We only process minimal user data, just what is absolutely necessary to maintain the Website or Services, and we only use information collected automatically to consider potential cases of abuse and to create statistical information relating to Website use. This statistical information is not aggregated in such a way to identify any one user of the system.

Collection of personal information

You may utilize the Website without identifying yourself or providing any Personal Information that would allow someone to identify you as a specific, identifiable individual. If you would like to utilize certain features of the Website, we may ask for Personal Information (i.e. name and e-mail address). We, in turn, will receive and store all information you specifically give to us when you publish content, or fill out any online forms on the Website. When you do provide information, we may gather the following information:

  • Personal information (i.e. name, country of residence, etc.)
  • Contact information (i.e. e-mail address, address, phone number, etc.)
  • Account information (user name, unique user ID, password, etc.)
  • Any materials you intentionally give us (articles, images, comments, feedback, etc.)

You can refuse to give us Personal information, but then you may not be able to take advantage of certain features of the Website. Users should feel free to contact us with questions about which information is required.

Storing personal information

We will hold, and Process your Personal Information in accordance with your legal obligations and purposes to resolve disputes, and to enforce our agreements, unless there are longer retention periods required or permitted by law. We may use any aggregated data produced by, or containing your Personal Information after you update, or delete it, in a manner that is not identifiable to you. Upon expiry of our retention period, we will delete your Personal Information. Thus, the right to access, the right to erasure, the right to rectification and the right to portability cannot be enforced following the expiry of the retention period.

Information transfer and storage

Depending on your location, data transfers may involve transferring and storing your information in a country not your own. You have the right to be informed of the legal basis for the transfer of information to a country outside of the European Union or to an international organization established by public international law or by two or more countries (e.g. UN), along with the security measures we take in protecting your information.
