Privacy Policy

My name is Carl Hawkins (trading as HawkMedia) I am dedicated to upholding the privacy rights and maintaining data security for my visitors. My aim is to be transparent about the data I collect from our visitors and pledge to handle data fairly and within the law. By using this website you should be able to enjoy browsing without compromising your privacy unacceptably.

Hosting and SSL
We can use secure server technology, including Trustwave SSL (Secure Socket Layer) encryption so that your browsing session is protected. Using this technology helps to minimise the ability for unauthorised parties to access any data passed between your browser and our website's server.

Cookies
This website makes use of cookies. Most websites make use cookies to operate effectively and to optimise a visitor’s browsing experience. A site will often generate cookies, which are small text files sent between a web client and server, on its users’ computers and devices. These allow the website, among other features, to recognise which pages have been visited during a browsing session. Therefore your computer or device may be able to ‘recall’ which pages you have viewed and your navigation through a website.

Our website does not use cookies to collect or record personal data such as name, address or other contact details. We do not use cookies for the purposes of third-party advertising and do not share any information contained in cookies with third parties.

If you disagree with the use of cookies on our site, you should leave immediately, or disable the cookies. If you want to disable cookies you need to change your website browser settings. Should you disable any cookies, the website may not continue to function properly.

Google Analytics
We use Google Analytics to anonymously track data relating to visitor behaviour patterns. This is done in order to measure numbers of visits to a particular part of a website, or use of features. No personal or data which could be used to identify site visitors is collected by Google Analytics.

Third Party Links
Links to third party websites may appear on our website where these are believed to be relevant to our content and may be of interest to our visitors. Third party websites should have their own privacy policies, and we cannot be held liable for their policies or non-compliance with data protection laws.

Mailing Lists
We do not offer mailing list sign up via our website. Existing clients and others can actively consent to opt-in, via email or offline, in order to receive communications, including updates on our service, events, blog posts, and occasionally marketing communications from ourselves. We will never share your data with other businesses or organisations. Details will never be passed on to a third party for marketing purposes. Clients may unsubscribe from this service at any time. Any emails we send out via our mailing list service will contain an 'unsubscribe' link. We keep the contact details securely on MailChimp, a company committed to GDPR.
