Privacy Policy

Last updated: 07/05/2026

This privacy policy explains how Samel Risk & Compliance Limited ("we", "us", "our") handles information in connection with our website samelrisk.co.uk (the "Site").

We've designed this site to collect as little information as possible. In short: we don't run analytics, we don't track you, and we don't sell or share data.

1. Who we are

Samel Risk & Compliance Limited. Contact: paul@samelrisk.co.uk

We are the data controller for any personal data processed in connection with this site.

2. What we collect

We do not collect personal information from visitors to this site through analytics, tracking pixels, advertising tools, or similar technologies.

The only personal data we may process is:

  • Information you voluntarily send us. If you contact us by email or through any contact details listed on the Site, we will receive your name, email address, and the contents of your message.

  • Basic server logs. Like most websites, our hosting provider may automatically record limited technical information (such as IP addresses, browser type, and the date and time of access) for security and reliability purposes. We do not use this information to identify or profile visitors.

3. Why we use it and our legal basis

If you contact us, we use your information solely to respond to you. Our legal basis under UK GDPR is our legitimate interest in answering enquiries or, where applicable, taking steps at your request before entering into a contract.

For server logs, our legal basis is our legitimate interest in keeping the site secure and functioning correctly.

4. Sharing your information

We do not sell, rent, or share your personal data with third parties for marketing purposes.

We may share information only where strictly necessary, for example:

  • with our website hosting provider, who processes basic technical data on our behalf

  • where required by law or to protect our legal rights

5. How long we keep it

We keep correspondence only for as long as needed to deal with your enquiry and any reasonable follow-up, after which it is deleted. Server logs are retained for short periods by our hosting provider in line with their standard practices.

6. Where your data is stored

Your data is processed in the UK and/or the European Economic Area. If any data is transferred outside these areas (for example by our hosting provider), we will ensure appropriate safeguards are in place as required by UK data protection law.

7. Your rights

Under UK GDPR, you have the right to:

  • access the personal data we hold about you

  • ask us to correct inaccurate data

  • ask us to delete your data

  • object to or restrict our processing of your data

  • ask for your data in a portable format

  • withdraw consent (where we rely on it)

To exercise any of these rights, email us at paul@samelrisk.co.uk

You also have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) at ico.org.uk if you believe we have mishandled your data.

8. Cookies

This site does not set tracking or analytics cookies. For more detail, see our Cookie Policy.

9. Children

This Site is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect data from them.

10. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. The "Last updated" date at the top will show when it was last revised.
