We do not knowingly collect sensitive financial account credentials, government identification numbers, or payment card details through this website unless explicitly required and clearly indicated at the point of collection.

3. How We Use Information

We do not use personal information to make automated decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects without appropriate human oversight.

4. Legal Basis for Processing

Where applicable data protection law requires a legal basis for processing personal information, we generally rely on one or more of the following: your consent, the necessity of processing to provide services you have requested, our legitimate interests in operating and improving our website, and compliance with legal obligations. You may withdraw consent where processing is based on consent, without affecting the lawfulness of processing carried out before such withdrawal.

• Protection of rights: where we believe disclosure is necessary to protect the rights, property, or safety of Nettlewyck, our users, or others.

6. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

Our website may use cookies and similar tracking technologies to enhance functionality, remember preferences, and analyze usage patterns. Cookies are small data files stored on your device. You can typically control or disable cookies through your browser settings; however, doing so may affect certain features of our website. This Policy does not cover third-party cookies that may be placed by embedded content or external analytics tools, which are governed by the respective third parties' own privacy practices.

7. Data Retention

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this Policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law. Criteria used to determine retention periods include the duration of our relationship with you, legal or regulatory requirements, and the need to resolve disputes or enforce agreements.

8. Data Security

We implement reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures designed to protect personal information from unauthorized access, loss, misuse, or alteration. However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security of information transmitted to or from our website.

9. International Data Transfers

Depending on how our services are provided, information may be transferred to, stored, or processed in countries other than your country of residence. Where such transfers occur, we aim to ensure appropriate safeguards are in place consistent with applicable data protection requirements.
