1. Introduction

This Privacy Policy explains how St Andrews Dementia Hub (“we”, “us”, “our”) handles information when you visit our website at standrewsdementiahub.org.uk

Our website is for display purposes only. We do not collect, store, or process any personal data from visitors. We are committed to complying with the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018, which apply in Scotland.

2. Personal Data We Collect

We do not collect any personal data.

• We do not use contact forms.
• We do not request names, email addresses, or any other personal details.
• We do not use analytics, tracking tools, or advertising technologies.
• We do not allow user accounts, logins, comments, or uploads.

The only information that may be processed is technical data automatically handled by our web hosting provider as part of normal website operation. This may include your IP address, browser type, and the date/time of access. This information is not accessible to us and is processed solely by the hosting provider for security and performance reasons.

3. Cookies

We do not set any cookies of our own.

Our hosting provider may use strictly necessary cookies that are essential for:

• Website security
• Load balancing
• Server performance
• Basic site functionality

These cookies are not used for analytics, tracking, or advertising. They are required for the website to function and cannot usually be disabled.

4. How Your Information Is Used

Since we do not collect or store personal data, we do not use it for any purpose.

Any technical information processed by our hosting provider is used only for:

• Ensuring the website loads correctly
• Preventing abuse or security threats
• Diagnosing technical issues

We do not have access to this information.

5. Lawful Basis (UK GDPR)

Because we do not collect or process personal data ourselves, we do not rely on any lawful basis for processing.

Any processing carried out by our hosting provider is done under their own legitimate interests in maintaining a secure and functional hosting environment.

6. Data Sharing

We do not share any personal data because we do not collect any.

Our hosting provider may process technical information as part of delivering the website. They do not use this information for marketing or profiling.

7. International Transfers

We do not transfer any personal data internationally.

If our hosting provider stores or processes technical data on servers outside the UK, they are responsible for ensuring appropriate safeguards are in place under UK GDPR.

8. Your Rights

Because we do not collect or store personal data, most UK GDPR rights (such as access, rectification, or erasure) do not apply.

If you have concerns about how your data is handled by your internet service provider or our hosting provider, you may contact them directly or raise a concern with the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO).

9. Links to Other Websites

Our website may contain links to external sites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of those websites. We recommend reviewing their privacy policies.

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated “Last updated” date.
