Privacy Policy

Who we are

Our website address is: https://jakuscaffolding.co.uk.
Jaku Scaffolding operates this website and is responsible for the processing of personal data collected through it.


Analytics

We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors interact with our website and to help us improve its performance, content, and user experience.

Google Analytics collects information such as pages visited, time spent on the site, device and browser information, and approximate location. This data is processed in an aggregated and anonymised form and does not directly identify individual users.

Where required by law, analytics cookies are only set with the user’s consent through our cookie settings. You can withdraw your consent at any time by adjusting your cookie preferences.

Google Analytics may process data on servers located outside the UK and the European Union in accordance with applicable data protection laws.


Comments

When visitors leave comments on the site, we collect the data shown in the comments form, along with the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help with spam detection.

An anonymised string created from your email address (also known as a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to check whether you use it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available at https://automattic.com/privacy/. Once your comment is approved, your profile picture may be visible to the public alongside your comment.


Media

If you upload images to the website, you should avoid uploading images that contain embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors to the website can download and extract location data from images displayed on the site.


Cookies

If you leave a comment on our site, you may choose to save your name, email address, and website in cookies. These cookies are provided for your convenience so you do not have to re-enter your details when leaving another comment. These cookies last for one year.

If you visit our login page, a temporary cookie will be set to check whether your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is deleted when you close your browser.

When you log in, we set cookies to save your login information and screen display preferences. Login cookies last for two days, and screen options cookies last for one year. If you select “Remember Me”, your login will remain active for two weeks. Logging out removes the login cookies.

If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be stored in your browser. This cookie contains no personal data and simply records the post ID of the article you edited. It expires after one day.


Embedded content from other websites

Articles on this site may include embedded content such as videos, images, or articles. Embedded content from other websites behaves in the same way as if you visited that website directly.

These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with the embedded content, especially if you have an account and are logged in to that website.


Who we share your data with

If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the password reset email.


How long we retain your data

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This allows us to recognise and approve follow-up comments automatically rather than holding them for moderation.

For users who register on our website (if applicable), we store the personal information provided in their user profile. Users can view, edit, or delete their personal information at any time, except for their username. Website administrators can also view and edit this information.


What rights you have over your data

If you have an account on this site or have left comments, you may request an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided. You may also request that we erase personal data we hold about you.

This does not include data we are required to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.


Where your data is sent

Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
