1. Who we are

Swayscrewparad (swayscrewparad.cfd) is operated by Swayscrewparad Travel Media Ltd, a company registered in England and Wales under company number 14896327, with its registered office at Suite 3, 42 Wharf Approach, Leeds LS1 4BR, United Kingdom. We are the data controller for personal data processed through this website. This policy explains what we collect, why, and the choices you have.

2. Data we collect

We keep data collection to a minimum. Depending on how you use the site, we may process:

  • Contact details you provide when you email us or use the contact form, such as your name, email address and the content of your message.
  • Technical data such as IP address, browser type, device information and pages visited, collected in server logs for security and reliability.
  • Consent records showing whether you accepted or rejected non-essential cookies, stored in your browser.
  • Usage data from analytics cookies, only if you have given consent.

We do not knowingly collect data from children under 13, and we do not collect special category data.

3. How we use your data and our legal bases

  • To respond to enquiries and correction requests (legitimate interests, or steps prior to a contract).
  • To keep the website secure and working properly (legitimate interests).
  • To understand which guides are useful, through aggregated analytics (consent).
  • To comply with legal obligations, such as record-keeping and responding to authorities (legal obligation).

We do not sell your personal data and we do not use it for automated decision-making that has legal effects on you.

4. Cookies

We use essential cookies and similar storage to run the site and remember your consent choice. Analytics and functional cookies are only set if you accept them. You can change your choice at any time using the "Cookie settings" link in the footer. Full details are in our Cookie Policy.

5. Third-party processors

We use carefully selected service providers who process data on our behalf under written data processing agreements. These fall into the following categories: website hosting and content delivery; email and inbox services used to answer your messages; and, only with your consent, privacy-focused analytics. Where a processor transfers data outside the UK or European Economic Area, we rely on adequacy decisions or standard contractual clauses with appropriate safeguards. Links to external websites, such as official travel or rail operator sites, are governed by those sites' own privacy policies.

6. Data retention

  • Contact messages: up to 24 months after our last correspondence, then deleted.
  • Server logs: up to 30 days, unless needed to investigate a security incident.
  • Analytics data: up to 13 months in aggregated or pseudonymised form.
  • Consent records in your browser: until you clear your browser storage or change your choice.

7. Your rights under GDPR and CCPA

If you are in the UK or EEA, you have the right to access, correct, erase, restrict or object to the processing of your personal data, the right to data portability and the right to withdraw consent at any time. You may also lodge a complaint with the UK Information Commissioner's Office at ico.org.uk or your local supervisory authority.

If you are a California resident, the CCPA and CPRA give you the right to know what personal information we collect, to request deletion or correction, and to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information. We do not sell or share personal information for cross-context behavioural advertising. We will not discriminate against you for exercising your rights.

We respond to verified requests within one month under GDPR, or within 45 days under CCPA, and may extend these periods where the law allows.

8. Contact our Data Protection Officer

For any privacy question or to exercise your rights, contact our Data Protection Officer at [email protected] or write to: Data Protection Officer, Swayscrewparad Travel Media Ltd, Suite 3, 42 Wharf Approach, Leeds LS1 4BR, United Kingdom.
