Privacy & Cookie Policy — Barkleys Dog Training Academy

At Barkleys Dog Training Academy ("we", "us", or "our"), accessible from https://www.barkleysdogtrainingacademy.co.uk/, we respect your privacy and are committed to protecting personal data. This policy outlines how information is handled on our static website in accordance with the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR), the Data Protection Act 2018, and the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR).

1. Direct Data Collection

We do not collect any personal data directly from visitors. Our website is static and does not feature contact forms, user accounts, newsletter subscriptions, or interactive comment sections.

2. Data Collected by Third Parties & Hosting

While we do not collect personal data directly, our static site relies on third-party service providers to display content and operate securely. These third parties may collect automated technical data (such as IP addresses, browser types, and timestamp logs):

Hosting & Infrastructure: Hosted via GitHub & Cloudflare. Web servers automatically log visitor IP addresses and request headers for security, maintenance, and system stability.
Embedded Content & External Assets: Pages may load external assets (e.g., Google Fonts, CDN-hosted scripts, embedded video/maps). These external servers may register your IP address when serving requests.

3. Cookie Policy

We do not set any first-party cookies on your device. Under PECR, non-essential cookies require consent. Because our static site sets no analytical, marketing, or tracking first-party cookies, no consent banner is required for basic site navigation.

However, embedded third-party services (like video players or external media) may attempt to place cookies or local storage items on your browser.

Managing Cookies

You can control or block cookies at any time by adjusting your browser settings:

4. Your Rights Under UK GDPR

As a UK resident, you have statutory rights regarding your personal data (including rights of access, rectification, erasure, and restriction). Because we do not directly store or process your personal data, we do not maintain personal user databases.

If you have concerns about data processing, you also have the right to lodge a complaint with the UK supervisory authority:

Information Commissioner's Office (ICO): https://ico.org.uk / Tel: 0303 123 1113
