UK GDPR Compliance

Aqua Tiles & Interiors is committed to protecting your personal data in accordance with the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR). This page explains how we comply with your rights under UK GDPR, even though we do not collect personal data through user registration or databases.

Scope and Applicability

The UK GDPR applies to the processing of personal data of individuals in the UK. While Aqua Tiles & Interiors does not collect personal information through forms, accounts, or subscriptions, we may automatically collect limited data such as IP addresses, browser types, and usage patterns via analytics tools and server logs for website functionality and security.

Your Rights Under UK GDPR

Under the UK GDPR, you have the following rights:

• Right of access – to request confirmation of whether your personal data is being processed and to receive a copy of it.
• Right to rectification – to correct inaccurate or incomplete personal data.
• Right to erasure – to request deletion of your personal data in certain circumstances.
• Right to restrict processing – to limit how your data is used.
• Right to data portability – to receive your data in a structured, commonly used format.
• Right to object – to object to processing based on legitimate interests, including profiling.
• Right not to be subject to automated decision-making – including profiling.

How We Comply

As an informational blog site, Aqua Tiles & Interiors does not store personal data in user databases. Any data collected automatically (e.g., via cookies or server logs) is used solely for site performance, security, and analytics, and is retained only as long as necessary. We use third-party analytics services that comply with UK GDPR, and we provide cookie controls via our cookie banner.

Data We Process

The only personal data we may process includes:

• IP addresses (anonymised where possible)
• Browser and device information
• Usage patterns (e.g., pages visited, time on site)
• Cookie identifiers (for functional and analytical purposes)

This data is not linked to any individual identity and is not used for profiling or marketing.

Legal Basis for Processing

Our processing of personal data is based on legitimate interests under Article 6(1)(f) of the UK GDPR, specifically to ensure website security, improve user experience, and analyse site performance. We balance these interests against your rights and freedoms, and we do not process data where your interests override ours.
