If you have any questions about this Privacy Policy or our data practices, please contact us by email at hosting@worldfireworkschampionship.com.
2. Cookies and tracking
This website does not set any cookies. We do not use analytics services, advertising trackers, session cookies, persistent cookies or any other form of client-side storage for the purpose of tracking or identifying visitors.
No consent banner is displayed because no consent is required: we do not engage in any processing that would require consent under the UK Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations 2003 (PECR) or the UK GDPR.
3. What personal data we collect, and why
This website is primarily an information resource. It does not contain registration forms, contact forms or any mechanism by which you are asked to submit personal data to us.
The only way in which personal data may be received by us through this website is if you choose to contact us by email using the address displayed on our Sponsorship page. In that case:
- We will receive your email address and any other personal information you choose to include in your message.
- We will use this information solely to respond to your enquiry.
- We will not add you to any mailing list, share your data with third parties or use it for any other purpose without your explicit consent.
- Our lawful basis for processing your email enquiry is our legitimate interest in responding to business communications directed to us.
4. Web server logs
Like all websites, our hosting provider may automatically log certain technical information when you visit this site. This typically includes your IP address, the pages you visit, the time and date of your visit, and your browser type. These logs are maintained for security and operational purposes by our hosting provider (Hostinger) and are not accessed or used by us except where necessary to investigate a security incident. For details of how Hostinger processes server log data, please refer to their Privacy Policy.
5. Third-party services
This website does not load content from or make requests to any third-party services. There are no embedded social media widgets, no Google Fonts, no analytics scripts and no advertising networks. All assets (images, scripts, stylesheets) are served directly from our own hosting.
