At MyFixManual, accessible via contact@myfixmanual.com, we are committed to protecting and respecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you visit our website, and it sets out your rights under the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018.
For the purposes of data protection law, the data controller is MyFixManual (contact details above). We have appointed a Data Protection Officer (DPO) who can be reached at the same email address.
Information We Collect
We may collect and process the following data about you:
- Technical data: including IP address, browser type and version, time zone setting, operating system, and platform.
- Usage data: information about how you use our website, products, and services.
- Marketing and communications data: your preferences in receiving marketing from us and your communication preferences.
We do not collect special categories of personal data (such as race, ethnicity, health, or biometric data) unless you voluntarily provide it and we have a lawful basis to process it.
Lawful Basis for Processing
We process your personal data only where we have a lawful basis to do so. These bases include:
- Consent: where you have given us clear consent to process your personal data for a specific purpose (e.g., to send you newsletters).
- Contract: where processing is necessary for the performance of a contract with you or to take steps at your request before entering into a contract.
- Legal obligation: where processing is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which we are subject.
- Legitimate interests: where processing is necessary for our legitimate interests (or those of a third party) and your interests and fundamental rights do not override those interests (e.g., to improve our website and services).
Log Files
MyFixManual follows a standard procedure of using log files, as do most hosting providers. These files log visitors when they access our website. The information collected includes internet protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, Internet Service Provider (ISP), date and time stamp, referring/exit pages, and the number of clicks. This data is used to analyse trends, administer the site, track users’ movement around the site, and gather demographic information. It is not linked to any information that is personally identifiable. We may also use IP addresses to detect and prevent fraud or security incidents.
Cookies and Web Beacons
Like many websites, MyFixManual uses "cookies" to enhance your experience. Cookies are small text files placed on your device that help us remember your preferences, recognise you on return visits, and understand how you interact with our content. We use both session and persistent cookies. Some cookies are strictly necessary for the operation of our site; others are used for analytics, functionality, and advertising. We also use web beacons (clear GIFs) to compile aggregate statistics about site usage.
You can manage your cookie preferences at any time through our cookie consent banner or via your browser settings. Please note that blocking certain cookies may affect the functionality of our website. For more detailed information about the cookies we use and how to control them, please see our Cookie Policy.
Google DoubleClick DART Cookie
Google, as a third-party vendor on our site, uses cookies, including DART cookies, to serve ads to our visitors based on their visits to our website and other sites on the internet. Users may opt out of the use of DART cookies by visiting the Google ad and content network privacy policy at the following URL: https://policies.google.com/technologies/ads. We also use Google Analytics to help us understand how our visitors engage with our site – you can learn about Google’s data processing and how to opt out at Google Analytics Opt-out.
Our Advertising Partners
Some of our advertisers may use cookies and web beacons. Our advertising partners include Google AdSense and other third-party ad networks. Each of these partners has its own privacy policy regarding the handling of user data. We encourage you to review their policies for further information about their data practices and how to opt out of targeted advertising.
Third-Party Privacy Policies
MyFixManual's Privacy Policy does not apply to other advertisers or websites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of any third-party sites. We therefore advise you to consult the respective privacy policies of those third-party ad servers and external websites for more detailed information, including their practices and instructions on how to opt out of certain options.
Your Data Protection Rights
Under the UK GDPR, you have the following rights regarding your personal data:
- Right of access: you can request a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
- Right to rectification: you can ask us to correct inaccurate or incomplete data.
- Right to erasure (right to be forgotten): you can request that we delete your personal data, subject to certain conditions.
- Right to restrict processing: you can ask us to limit the processing of your data in certain circumstances.
- Right to data portability: you can request a transfer of your data to another controller in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format.
- Right to object: you can object to our processing of your data for direct marketing or based on legitimate interests.
- Rights related to automated decision-making: we do not engage in automated decision-making or profiling that produces legal effects on you.
To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at contact@myfixmanual.com. We will respond within one month, as required by law. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) if you are dissatisfied with our handling of your data. For more information, visit ico.org.uk.
Data Retention
We will retain your personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements. When we no longer need your data, we will securely delete or anonymise it.
Data Security
We have implemented appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect your personal data against accidental loss, unauthorised access, alteration, or disclosure. However, no internet transmission is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee the absolute security of your data.
Children's Information
We take the protection of children's privacy seriously. Our website is not intended for children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal data from individuals under that age. In the UK, the age of digital consent is 13 (under the UK GDPR). If you are a parent or guardian and believe that your child has provided us with personal data without your consent, please contact us immediately at contact@myfixmanual.com and we will take steps to delete such information from our records.
International Transfers
We may transfer your personal data to third parties located outside the UK or the European Economic Area (EEA). Where we do so, we ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place, such as standard contractual clauses approved by the ICO, to protect your data and your rights.
Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any material changes by posting the new policy on this page with an updated revision date. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
Consent
By using our website, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Privacy Policy and agree to its terms. You also consent to our collection and processing of your personal data as described herein. You may withdraw your consent at any time by contacting us, but this will not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal.
