This page explains what personal information clapforourcarers.co.uk collects, why it is collected and how it is handled. Questions about this policy, or requests about personal data, can be sent through the contact page.
Information Collected
When a message is sent through the contact form, the name, email address and message are collected so that a reply can be sent. These details are used only to respond to the enquiry and are not kept for longer than needed for that purpose.
Form and comment submissions are checked for spam by Akismet, a service run by Automattic, which receives the submitted details for that check. The site also uses Wordfence security software, which records IP addresses and visit information in order to detect and block attacks. The hosting provider keeps standard server logs, including IP addresses, browser type and pages requested, for security and operational purposes.
Cookies and Third-Party Services
The site loads its typeface from Google Fonts, which means a visitor’s browser connects to Google’s servers and shares its IP address in the process. Some links on the site are affiliate links. When one of these is followed, the visitor passes through an affiliate network such as Awin on the way to the retailer, and that network may set cookies to record the referral. Those cookies are controlled by the network and the retailer, and their own privacy policies apply.
Personal data collected through this site is not sold to anyone.
Legal Basis
Personal data is processed on the basis of legitimate interests: running and securing the website, preventing spam and abuse, and replying to messages that visitors choose to send.
Your Rights
Under UK data protection law, anyone can ask for a copy of the personal data held about them, ask for it to be corrected or deleted, or object to or ask for restrictions on how it is used. Requests can be made through the contact page. Anyone unhappy with how their data has been handled can complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office at ico.org.uk.
Changes to This Policy
This policy may be updated when the services used on the site change. It was last reviewed in October 2026.
