PRIVACY POLICY

Last Updated: September 2026

​

Welcome to Flatbattery Makes (https://www.flatbatterymakes.co.uk/). I am committed to protecting your privacy and handling your personal data transparently and securely in line with UK data protection laws (UK GDPR).

This Privacy Policy explains what personal information is collected when you visit the site, how it is used, and what rights you have regarding your data.

 

1. Information I Collect

​

When you visit the site, I may collect the following information:

  • Personal Data You Provide: When you use the contact form, comment on a post, or subscribe to the newsletter, I collect your First Name, Last Name, Email Address, and Phone Number.

  • Automated Data: As standard with Wix Studio sites, technical data such as your IP address, browser type, device information, and browsing activity are collected automatically via cookies.
     

2. How I Use Your Information

​

I use your personal data to:

  • Respond to inquiries submitted through the contact form.

  • Send you updates and news via the newsletter (only if you have explicitly opted in).

  • Manage and display your user comments on blog posts.

  • Monitor site traffic, prevent security threats, and ensure the website functions smoothly.
     

3. Third-Party Services & Cookies
 

My website is built on the Wix Studio platform. Wix hosts the site and provides standard analytics tools that track visitor behavior.

I also use third-party integrations that may drop cookies or track usage data:

  • Google Fonts: Used to display typography cleanly.

  • YouTube: Embedded video content may track your viewing habits and device details via YouTube cookies.

You can manage or block cookies directly through your web browser settings at any time.
 

4. Legal Basis for Processing (UK GDPR)
 

Under the UK GDPR, I rely on the following legal foundations to handle your data:

  • Consent: When you explicitly tick the box to join the newsletter or submit a form.

  • Legitimate Interests: To maintain website security, optimize site performance, and respond directly to messages you send me.
     

5. Data Retention & Security
 

I only keep your data for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined above (such as keeping you on the newsletter list until you unsubscribe). Your data is stored securely via Wix's protected servers. I will never sell, rent, or distribute your personal details to third parties for marketing purposes.
 

6. Your Rights
 

Because I am located in the UK, you hold the following rights regarding your personal data:

  • The right to access the personal information I hold about you.

  • The right to request that I correct inaccurate information.

  • The right to request that I delete your personal data ("the right to be forgotten").

  • The right to withdraw your consent to marketing/newsletters at any time.

If you wish to exercise any of these rights, please contact me directly using the contact details below.
