SteadyGuardBase ("we", "our", "us") is committed to handling your personal information responsibly, transparently, and in full accordance with the UK General Data Protection Regulation. This Privacy Policy sets out precisely what data we collect, why we collect it, how it is stored, and the rights you hold — in plain British English, with no unnecessary complexity.
1. Information We Collect
We collect a strictly limited set of personal information, and only when you choose to provide it directly through one of our site forms. We do not gather personal data passively via advertising networks, tracking pixels, or behavioural profiling tools of any kind.
- Name and email address — when you request our complimentary household safety checklist through the form on our main guide page.
- Contact form submissions — your name, email address, optional subject line, and message content when you write to us via our contact page.
- Anonymised analytics data — basic, privacy-respecting metrics about how visitors navigate the site. No personally identifiable information is captured, processed, or stored through this channel.
2. How We Use Your Information
Your personal information is used solely for the purpose for which it was submitted. We do not repurpose data, sell it, licence it, or pass it to third parties for commercial use under any circumstances.
- To deliver the complimentary guide or checklist you requested — one email, nothing further.
- To respond to enquiries submitted via our contact page.
- To understand, at a fully anonymised and aggregate level, which editorial content is of greatest value to our UK readership.
We do not send marketing newsletters, enrol you in automated email sequences, share your data with advertisers, or engage in any form of remarketing — unless you have separately and explicitly opted in to such communications, which we do not currently offer.
3. Email Communications
When you request our free household safety guide, you will receive exactly one email containing the document or a secure download link. That is the full extent of our email contact with you. You will not be added to a newsletter, placed into a marketing sequence, or contacted with promotional offers of any description. One request, one delivery — nothing more.
4. Data Storage and Security
We apply reasonable and proportionate technical and organisational security measures to protect your personal information from unauthorised access, accidental loss, alteration, or disclosure. Email addresses and contact form submissions are stored securely and accessed only by authorised individuals directly involved in responding to your enquiry.
Personal contact data is retained only for as long as strictly necessary to fulfil the purpose for which it was collected. Once that purpose has been served, your data is securely and permanently deleted. We do not hold personal information beyond its operational lifespan.
5. Cookies and Tracking
This website uses a minimal and purposeful set of cookies, limited to those required for basic site functionality — for example, retaining your cookie preference so you are not repeatedly prompted. We do not deploy advertising cookies, third-party retargeting pixels, social media tracking tools, or any form of behavioural surveillance technology. Any analytics solution we use is configured to anonymise visitor data fully before collection, so that no individual user can be identified from it.
6. Third-Party Links
Our editorial content may include links to external third-party websites, government publications, and reference resources for further reading. SteadyGuardBase is not responsible for the data handling practices of those external sites, and a hyperlink should not be interpreted as an endorsement of their privacy approach. We encourage you to review the privacy policy of any external site before submitting personal information to it.
7. Your Rights Under UK GDPR
Under UK data protection law, you hold the following rights in respect of personal information SteadyGuardBase holds about you:
- Right of access — to request a copy of the personal data we hold about you, free of charge.
- Right to rectification — to request correction of any personal data that is inaccurate or incomplete.
- Right to erasure — to request deletion of your personal data from our records, commonly referred to as the "right to be forgotten".
- Right to object — to object to our processing of your data in circumstances where we rely on legitimate interests as our lawful basis.
- Right to data portability — to receive your personal data in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format for transfer to another service.
To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at [email protected] or via our contact page. We will respond to all data rights requests within 30 calendar days, in accordance with UK GDPR obligations.
8. Children's Privacy
SteadyGuardBase is an editorial information resource intended exclusively for adults aged 18 and over. We do not knowingly collect personal data from individuals under the age of 16. If you believe a minor has submitted personal information to us in error, please contact us promptly and we will delete the relevant data without delay.
9. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time in response to changes in UK data protection legislation, our operational practice, or the services we provide. Any material amendments will be reflected on this page with a revised effective date. We encourage you to review this policy periodically if you wish to remain fully informed of how your data is handled.
