Privacy Policy

Last updated: 06/12/2025

We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal data. This policy explains what information we collect when you use our website, how we use it, and your rights.

By using this website, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy.

Who we are

Our website address is: https://rd-bathrooms.co.uk/

We are the data controller for the personal data collected through this website. You can contact us using the details on our Contact page if you have any questions about this policy.

What personal data we collect and why we collect it

Comments

When visitors leave comments on the site, we collect the data shown in the comments form as well as the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string. This helps us detect and prevent spam and abuse.

An anonymised string created from your email address (a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to check if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available at: https://automattic.com/privacy/

After your comment is approved, your profile picture (if provided by Gravatar) is visible to the public in the context of your comment.

Media

If you upload images to the website, you should avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) included. Visitors to the website can download and extract any location data from images on the website, so removing this protects your privacy.

Cookies

Cookies are small files stored on your device. We use them to improve your experience on the site, for example by remembering your preferences.

  • If you leave a comment on our site, you may opt in to saving your name, email address and website in cookies. This is for your convenience so that you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies last for one year.
  • If you visit our login page, we set a temporary cookie to check if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.
  • When you log in, we set several cookies to save your login information and your screen display choices. Login cookies last for two days and screen options cookies last for one year. If you select “Remember Me”, your login will persist for two weeks. When you log out, the login cookies are removed.
  • If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be saved in your browser. This cookie includes no personal data and simply indicates the post ID of the article you just edited. It expires after one day.

You can control cookies through your browser settings. Disabling cookies may affect how the site works for you.

Embedded content from other websites

Articles on this site may include embedded content, for example videos, images, or articles from other websites. Embedded content from other websites behaves in the same way as if you had visited the other website directly.

These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction if you have an account and are logged in to that website.

We do not control these third-party websites and are not responsible for their privacy practices.

Who we share your data with

If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email to help maintain security and detect suspicious activity.

Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service. This may involve processing your data outside the UK or European Economic Area, subject to appropriate safeguards.

We do not sell your personal data.

How long we retain your data

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This helps us recognise and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.

For users that register on our website (if any), we store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.

We keep personal data only for as long as necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, to comply with legal and regulatory obligations, and to resolve disputes.

What rights you have over your data

If you have an account on this site or have left comments, you can request:

  • A copy of the personal data we hold about you.
  • That we correct any inaccurate or incomplete data.
  • That we erase the personal data we hold about you, where we have no legal reason to continue processing it.
  • That we restrict or object to certain types of processing.

This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

To exercise your rights, please contact us using the details on our Contact page. If you are not satisfied with our response, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) at https://ico.org.uk

.

Where your data is sent

Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service. This may involve transferring data outside the UK or EEA, in which case we aim to ensure appropriate safeguards are in place.

Changes to this policy

We may update this privacy policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated “Last updated” date. We recommend you check this page occasionally to stay informed.
