UK GDPR Compliance
Fife Resources is committed to respecting your data protection rights under the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR). This page explains how your personal data is handled under this law and how you can exercise your rights.
Scope and Applicability
The UK GDPR applies to the processing of personal data of individuals in the United Kingdom. While Fife Resources does not require user registration or maintain a database of personal information, we do collect limited data automatically through website analytics and server logs, such as IP addresses, browser type, and usage patterns. This data is processed solely for the purpose of improving site functionality and user experience.
Your Rights Under UK GDPR
Under the UK GDPR, you have the following rights:
- Right of access – You can request confirmation of whether we hold your personal data and receive a copy of it.
- Right to rectification – You can request correction of inaccurate or incomplete personal data.
- Right to erasure – You can request deletion of your personal data where there is no compelling reason for its continued processing.
- Right to restriction of processing – You can request that we limit how your data is used under certain conditions.
- Right to data portability – You can request your data in a structured, commonly used format where technically feasible.
- Right to object – You can object to processing based on legitimate interests, including profiling.
How We Comply
Fife Resources complies with the UK GDPR by:
- Minimising data collection to only what is necessary for site operation.
- Using anonymised analytics tools where possible.
- Not storing personal data beyond what is required for technical functionality.
- Ensuring third-party services (e.g., analytics providers) are GDPR-compliant.
- Maintaining transparent communication about data practices.
Data We Process
The only personal data we may process automatically includes:
- IP addresses (short-term, for security and analytics)
- Browser and device information
- Pages visited and time spent on site
- Cookie identifiers (for functional purposes only, no tracking)
No names, email addresses, phone numbers, or other identifiable information are collected or stored.
Legal Basis for Processing
Our processing of data is based on legitimate interest under Article 6(1)(f) of the UK GDPR, specifically to ensure the website operates securely, performs analytics to improve user experience, and maintains service reliability. We do not rely on consent for this processing, as it is necessary for our legitimate interests and does not override your rights.
