Privacy Policy

This policy covers bitlith.co.uk only. It does not cover the Members Hub, which is deployed for a club and governed by its own privacy policy, where the club is the data controller and BitLith is the processor.

1. Who is responsible

BitLith Ltd, known as BitLith, is the data controller for this website. We are registered in England and Wales under company number 05023139, with our registered office at 71 Chesterblade Lane, Bracknell, Berkshire, RG12 0GP, United Kingdom.

We have not appointed a Data Protection Officer, as we are not an organisation that is required to. Anything to do with your data can be raised with us directly at [email protected].

2. What happens when you visit

This site is a set of static files. There is no database behind it, no login, and no form to fill in.

To send you a page, our hosting provider necessarily handles the technical details every web request carries:

Legal basis: legitimate interests: namely operating a website, keeping it available, and protecting it from attack. We do not build profiles from this, do not attempt to identify you from it, and do not combine it with anything else.

3. Cookies and tracking

This site sets no cookies at all. It uses no local storage, no session storage and no similar technology on your device. A small amount of JavaScript runs on the page, to show the current year and to protect email addresses from harvesting. It is served from this domain, stores nothing on your device and tracks nothing.

It also loads nothing from anyone else: no analytics, no tag manager, no advertising network, no social widgets, no embedded video, no third-party fonts. Every file the page needs comes from this domain. Nothing about your visit is shared with another company for their own purposes.

That is why there is no cookie banner. Under the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations, consent is needed to store or access information on your device, and we do neither, so there is nothing to ask you about.

If we ever add analytics, we will use a cookieless method that does not track individuals across sites, and we will say so here.

4. If you email us

The contact links on this site open your own email program. Nothing is submitted through the website itself.

If you email us, we receive whatever you send, typically your name, your email address, and whatever you write. We use it to answer you and, if it leads somewhere, to discuss and deliver work.

Legal basis: legitimate interests in responding to enquiries, and where you are asking about buying something from us, steps taken at your request before entering into a contract.

We will not add you to a mailing list on the strength of an enquiry, and we do not sell or share contact details with anyone.

5. Who else processes it

We use two service providers, each under its own data-processing terms:

Beyond those, we disclose personal data only where the law requires it, or to our professional advisers where we genuinely need to.

6. Where it is processed

Cloudflare serves this site from a global network, so a request may be handled by a server outside the United Kingdom, usually the one nearest you. Microsoft may likewise process email outside the UK.

Both providers operate under transfer safeguards recognised by UK law, including the International Data Transfer Addendum and standard contractual clauses, together with their own technical protections.

7. How long we keep it

• Request data is retained briefly by our hosting provider under their own operational and security policies. We do not keep our own copy, and we do not maintain any long-term log of visitors.
• Email correspondence is kept while we deal with your enquiry, and normally for up to 24 months afterwards, so we can pick up a conversation you may return to. Where an enquiry becomes a contract, the records that go with it are kept for as long as we are required to keep business and tax records.

Ask us to delete your correspondence sooner and we will, unless we are required to keep it.

8. Your rights

Under UK data protection law you may ask us to:

• confirm whether we hold personal data about you, and give you a copy;
• correct anything inaccurate;
• erase it, where we have no continuing need or obligation to keep it;
• restrict or object to how we use it, including objecting to processing based on legitimate interests;
• receive it in a portable format, where that right applies.

There is no charge, and we will respond within one month. Email [email protected].

In practice, a visit to this site leaves us with nothing that identifies you, so a request will usually concern email you have sent us. It helps if you tell us the address you wrote from.

If you are unhappy with how we have handled it, you can complain to the Information Commissioner's Office: ico.org.uk, or 0303 123 1113. We would rather you came to us first so we can put it right.

9. Links to other sites

This site links out to a small number of places, such as the Information Commissioner’s Office. Following a link takes you somewhere we do not control, with its own privacy policy. This one stops at the edge of bitlith.co.uk.

No third-party content is embedded in these pages, so simply reading them does not tell any of those sites that you were here.

10. Changes

If this policy changes materially, particularly if we ever start collecting something we do not collect today, we will update this page and change the date below. There is no mailing list to notify, because we do not keep one.
