Privacy Policy — Antonio Ortega Couture
This privacy policy describes how Antonio Ortega Couture (referred to below as "we", "us", or "the site") handles information relating to visitors to the domain antonioortegacouture.com. It should be read alongside the cookie policy, which sets out the specific position on browser storage. The policy is written in ordinary English, avoiding legal jargon wherever the underlying law allows.
The information we collect
This is a static, editorial website. We do not run analytics, we do not embed advertising trackers, and we do not maintain user accounts. We do not ask you for your name, email address, telephone number, date of birth, financial information, or any other personal detail as a condition of reading the pages we publish. If you send us an email using the address provided on the about page, we will hold the contents of that email for as long as is reasonably necessary to respond and to keep a record of the correspondence, after which it is deleted.
Our web-server host will, in the normal course of business, keep short-lived access logs recording the requests made against the site. Those logs typically include an IP address, a timestamp, the page requested, and the user-agent string sent by the browser. We do not use these logs for tracking or profiling; they exist solely to allow the host to diagnose technical problems and to detect abuse of the server. Retention is short and controlled by the host, not by us.
The lawful basis for what little we do
Where any personal data is processed at all, the lawful basis under Article 6 of the UK GDPR is the legitimate interest of maintaining a functioning website and responding to correspondence directed to us. Because we do not collect information for marketing or profiling purposes, no consent is required for the technical operation of the site beyond the acceptance recorded by the cookie banner.
Cookies and browser storage
The site uses a single item of browser storage — a small flag placed in your device's localStorage to remember that you have dismissed the cookie notice. No third-party cookies are set. Details are given on the cookies page.
Third parties
We use Google Fonts to load the typefaces displayed across the site. When your browser requests a font, Google will receive the standard headers that accompany that request. We do not embed any social-media widgets, advertising tags, analytics platforms, or third-party comment systems.
Your rights
Because we do not maintain a database of users, most of the rights conferred by the UK GDPR (access, rectification, erasure, portability, restriction, objection) will not apply to any information we hold about you — there simply is nothing to access, rectify, or erase. If you have written to us and wish for that correspondence to be deleted, please ask, and we will do so. Complaints about our handling of personal data may be directed to the Information Commissioner's Office at ico.org.uk.
Changes to this policy
This policy was last updated on the date shown at the top of the page. Material changes will be marked with a new "last updated" date. Because the site's data practices are deliberately minimal, we do not anticipate frequent revisions.
