Things you send us

3. How we use it and why we are allowed to
| What for | Data | Lawful basis (UK GDPR) |

4. Cookies
Dead Site does not set analytics, advertising or tracking cookies for visitors. The only cookies used are strictly necessary ones set by WordPress when site editors log in to manage the site. Ordinary visitors do not receive them.
If we ever add analytics or advertising, those cookies will only run after you agree, through a consent message, and we will update this policy first.
5. Links and third-party sites
Articles link to other websites, including businesses we write about. Once you leave Dead Site, that website’s own privacy policy applies. We are not responsible for how other sites handle your data.
6. Who we share data with
- Livetech Ltd: hosting, security and development (our data processor).
- Our UK hosting provider: the servers the site runs on.
We only share data with anyone else if the law requires it.
7. How long we keep it
- Emails: up to 24 months after we last heard from you, then deleted.
- Server and security logs: up to 12 months.
8. Your rights
Under UK data protection law you can ask to see, correct or delete the personal data we hold about you, ask us to restrict it, object to processing based on legitimate interests, and ask for a portable copy where that applies. Where we rely on consent, you can withdraw it at any time.
Email info@croeso.com to use any of these rights. We will reply within one month.
9. Complaints
If you are unhappy with how we have used your data, please tell us first at info@croeso.com. We will acknowledge your complaint within 30 days, keep you updated and let you know the outcome.
If you are still not happy, you can complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office at ico.org.uk/make-a-complaint or on 0303 123 1113.
