UK GDPR Compliance
This page explains how Italian Auto Parts Hub complies with the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR), which governs the protection of personal data in the United Kingdom. Although our website is informational and does not require user registration or store personal data in a database, we are committed to transparency and respect for your rights under UK GDPR.
Scope and Applicability
The UK GDPR applies to any processing of personal data of individuals in the UK. While Italian Auto Parts Hub does not collect personal information through accounts, forms, or subscriptions, we may indirectly process limited personal data through automated means such as website analytics, server logs, and cookies used for functionality and performance monitoring. This data is processed solely for legitimate business purposes and is not used for profiling or targeted advertising.
Your Rights Under UK GDPR
Under the UK GDPR, you have the following rights regarding your personal data:
- Right of access: You may request confirmation of whether we hold any of your personal data and obtain a copy of it.
- Right to rectification: You may request correction of any inaccurate or incomplete personal data we hold about you.
- Right to erasure: You may request deletion of your personal data where there is no compelling reason for its continued processing.
- Right to restriction of processing: You may request we limit how we use your data under certain conditions.
- Right to data portability: Where applicable, you may request your data in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format.
- Right to object: You may object to the processing of your data based on legitimate interests, including profiling.
How We Comply
Italian Auto Parts Hub complies with UK GDPR by:
- Minimising data collection to only what is strictly necessary for website operation.
- Using anonymised or pseudonymised data in analytics tools where possible.
- Ensuring third-party services (e.g., analytics providers) are GDPR-compliant and have appropriate data processing agreements.
- Regularly reviewing our data handling practices to ensure ongoing compliance.
- Not retaining personal data longer than necessary.
Data We Process
The personal data we may process includes:
- IP addresses collected via server logs for security and traffic analysis
- Cookies and similar technologies used for session management and performance tracking
- Browser type, device information, and pages visited for website optimisation
This data is not linked to your identity and is not combined with any other database. We do not collect names, email addresses, phone numbers, or payment details unless you voluntarily contact us via our contact form.
Legal Basis for Processing
Our processing of personal data is based on legitimate interest under Article 6(1)(f) of the UK GDPR. This includes ensuring website functionality, improving user experience, securing our systems, and analysing traffic patterns. We balance these interests against your rights and freedoms, and we do not process data for purposes beyond these legitimate objectives.
How to Exercise Your Rights
To exercise any of your rights under UK GDPR, please contact us by email at [email protected]. Include your full name, the nature of your request, and any relevant details (e.g., IP address or date of visit if known). We will respond without undue delay and within one month of receipt.
Response Timeframes
We are required to respond to your request within one month of receipt. In complex cases, we may extend this period by two additional months, and we will inform you of any delay and the reasons for it.
No Discrimination Policy
We will not deny you goods or services, charge you different prices, or provide you with a different level of service because you exercised your rights under UK GDPR. You are free to make requests without fear of retaliation or disadvantage.
