Our privacy notice, and why it is so short

An anti-avoidance site that quietly harvested your data would be its own punchline. So it does not. This page explains the little that a website cannot avoid handling, in plain English, and what your rights are.

Who is responsible. LoopholeKiln is published by Kiln Guides. The data controller is Kiln Guides. If you have any question about your data, or want to exercise a right, email hello@kilnguides.co.uk.

The short version. We set no tracking or analytics cookies, and we run no analytics. We have no advertising, no tracking pixels, no accounts, no newsletter, and no contact form. We do not ask for your name, your email, or anything else, so there is almost nothing about you for us to hold. You can confirm most of this in your own browser, which is the point: we would rather you checked than took our word for it.

What is unavoidable. Like every website, ours is delivered by servers and a content-delivery network. To send you a page, those systems briefly process your device's IP address and standard request information, such as the page you asked for, the time, and your browser type, in their technical logs. This is a normal part of how the internet works and is necessary to deliver the site and keep it secure. Our hosting and platform providers ([PROCESSORS]) handle this for us as our processors, under contract. We do not combine that log data with anything else, we do not use it to identify or profile you, and we do not sell or share it.

Our lawful basis. Where we process that technical log data, our lawful basis under the UK GDPR is our legitimate interest in delivering a secure, working website. We have kept the processing to the minimum the technology requires.

How long we keep it. Server and content-delivery logs are short-lived and are kept only as long as our providers need them to deliver the site and keep it secure, then deleted. We hold no separate database of visitors.

Cookies. We set no cookies of our own and use no non-essential browser storage. The only cookie that may be present is a strictly-necessary security cookie placed by our infrastructure provider to deliver and protect the site; under the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations a strictly-necessary cookie does not require your consent, which is why there is no cookie banner. We set no analytics, advertising or tracking cookies of any kind. If that ever changes, we will ask for your consent first and update this page.

Your rights. Under the UK GDPR you have rights over any personal data we hold, including the right to ask what we have, to have it corrected or erased, and to object to our use of it. Because we hold so little, and nothing that identifies you by name, there is usually little to act on, but if you want to exercise a right, email hello@kilnguides.co.uk and we will respond.

Complaints. If you are unhappy with how we have handled your data, you can complain to the UK's Information Commissioner's Office at ico.org.uk. We would rather you told us first, so we can put it right.

Changes. If we change this notice, we will date the change below. Last updated [DATE].
