UK GDPR Compliance

Flowing Ideas Marketing is committed to respecting your rights under the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR). This page explains how we comply with these rights, even though we do not collect or store personal data through user registration or databases.

Scope and Applicability

The UK GDPR applies to the processing of personal data of individuals in the United Kingdom. While Flowing Ideas Marketing is based in New Zealand, we recognise that our website may be accessed by individuals in the UK. As such, we apply UK GDPR principles to all visitors from the UK, particularly regarding cookies, analytics, and server log data that may be automatically collected.

Your Rights Under UK GDPR

Under the UK GDPR, you have the following rights:

• Right of access: You may request confirmation of whether we process any personal data about you.
• Right to rectification: You may request correction of any inaccurate personal data we hold.
• Right to erasure: You may request deletion of your personal data where applicable.
• Right to restriction of processing: You may request we limit how we use your data.
• Right to data portability: You may request a copy of your data in a structured, machine-readable format.
• Right to object: You may object to our processing of your data based on legitimate interests.
• Right not to be subject to automated decision-making: We do not use automated decision-making or profiling.

How We Comply

Flowing Ideas Marketing does not maintain user accounts, collect personal information via forms, or store personal data in databases. However, we use third-party analytics tools (e.g., Google Analytics) and cookies to understand website usage. We ensure these tools are configured to comply with UK GDPR, including anonymising IP addresses and providing clear cookie consent mechanisms. We do not sell or share personal data with advertisers.

Data We Process

The only personal data we may process automatically includes:

• IP addresses (anonymised)
• Browser type and device information
• Pages visited and time spent on site
• Cookies and similar tracking technologies (with consent)

This data is collected solely for analytical purposes and is not linked to identifiable individuals.

Legal Basis for Processing

Our processing of data is based on legitimate interest — specifically, improving website functionality and user experience. We balance this interest against your privacy rights. Where required, we obtain your prior consent for non-essential cookies.

How to Exercise Your Rights

Response Timeframes

We aim to respond to all requests within one (1) month of receipt. In complex cases, this may be extended by two additional months, and we will inform you of any delay and the reasons.

No Discrimination Policy

You will not be denied access to our website, services, or content, nor receive different treatment, for exercising your UK GDPR rights.
