UK GDPR Compliance
At Artistry Education Hub, we are 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 this law, even though we do not collect personal information through user registration or databases.
Scope and Applicability
The UK GDPR applies to the processing of personal data of individuals in the United Kingdom. While Artistry Education Hub is an informational blog platform with no user accounts or subscription system, we may automatically collect limited personal data through website analytics, cookies, and server logs. This includes IP addresses, browser types, and usage patterns — all processed solely for improving user experience and site functionality.
Your Rights Under UK GDPR
Under the UK GDPR, you have the following rights:
- Right of access: You may request confirmation of whether we hold any of your personal data.
- Right to rectification: You may request correction of any inaccurate personal data we hold about you.
- Right to erasure: You may request deletion of your personal data where there is no compelling reason for its continued processing.
- Right to restriction of processing: You may request we limit how we use your data under certain conditions.
- Right to data portability: Where applicable, you may request a copy of your data in a structured, machine-readable format.
- Right to object: You may object to our processing of your data based on legitimate interests, including profiling or analytics.
How We Comply
We do not store personal data in identifiable databases. Any data collected via cookies or analytics tools is anonymised or aggregated. We use third-party analytics services (e.g., Google Analytics) with privacy-enhancing settings enabled, including IP anonymisation. We do not sell or share personal data with advertisers or third parties for commercial purposes.
Data We Process
The only personal data we may process includes:
- IP addresses (anonymised)
- Browser and device information
- Pages visited and time spent on site
- Cookies used for functional purposes (e.g., session management)
This data is not linked to your name, email, or any other identifier.
Legal Basis for Processing
Our processing of personal data is based on legitimate interest — specifically, to ensure the website functions properly, to improve content delivery, and to understand how visitors engage with our educational resources. We balance this interest against your privacy rights and do not process data for profiling or automated decision-making.
How to Exercise Your Rights
To exercise any of your UK GDPR rights, please contact us at [email protected]. Include your name, the right you wish to exercise, and any relevant details (e.g., IP address or date of visit if known). We will respond without undue delay and within one month.
Response Timeframes
We are required by UK GDPR to respond to requests within one month of receipt. If your request is complex or numerous, we may extend this period by a further two months and will inform you within one month of the reasons for the delay.
No Discrimination Policy
We will never deny you access to our content, charge you fees, or provide a lower quality of service because you have exercised your rights under UK GDPR.
Updates and Changes
We may update this page periodically to reflect changes in law or our practices. Any material changes will be posted here with an updated effective date. We recommend reviewing this page occasionally.
