Passage Brief (“we”, “us”) runs the website passagebrief.co.uk. This policy explains what personal data we collect, why we use it, and your rights under UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018.
Who is responsible
The data controller is Passage Brief. Contact: info@passagebrief.co.uk.
This site publishes information about UK inbound supply routes. It does not sell goods from this page and it does not take card payments.
What we collect
We only collect what is needed to run the site and reply to you.
- What you send us — name, email address, organisation and the message if you write to us.
- Technical data — IP address, browser type, device type and approximate location, collected automatically when you load a page.
- Usage data — pages viewed, referring site and time on page, if analytics cookies are allowed. See the Cookie Policy.
We do not buy mailing lists. We do not collect special-category data on purpose. We do not collect payment-card data on this site.
Why we use it
| Purpose | Legal basis |
|---|---|
| Reply to an email or correction | Legitimate interests, or contract if you ask us to do specific work |
| Keep the site secure and working | Legitimate interests |
| Understand which pages are read, if you accept analytics cookies | Consent |
| Meet a legal duty | Legal obligation |
Cookies
Essential cookies make the site work. Analytics cookies run only if you accept them. Full detail is on the Cookie Policy.
Who we share data with
We do not sell personal data. We share it only where a service has to process it for us:
- the company that hosts the website
- the email system that receives messages sent to us
- analytics or security tools you have allowed through the cookie banner
Those providers may store data on servers outside the UK. Where that happens, we rely on a lawful transfer tool such as the UK Extension to the EU–US Data Privacy Framework or standard contractual clauses.
We will disclose data if the law requires it.
How long we keep it
- Enquiry emails: up to 24 months after the last reply, then deleted unless we must keep them for a legal reason.
- Server and security logs: normally up to 12 months.
- Analytics records: according to the tool’s setting, and only while consent remains.
Your rights
You can ask us to access, correct or delete your personal data, restrict or object to our use of it, or receive a copy of it. Where we rely on consent, you can withdraw it at any time. That does not affect use already made.
Write to info@passagebrief.co.uk. We will reply within one month.
You can complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office at ico.org.uk/make-a-complaint.
Children
This site is written for adults. We do not knowingly collect data from children.
Changes
If this policy changes, we will update the date at the top of this page.
