Privacy

This policy explains what data Plate Archive collects, why, and your rights under UK GDPR. We keep data collection to the minimum needed to run the site.

Who is responsible

Plate Archive is operated by Westcountry Hosting Ltd, the data controller for this site. You can reach us at [email protected].

What we collect

• Server logs — standard web-server records (IP address, browser type, pages requested, timestamp) kept briefly to run and secure the site.
• Affiliate cookies — some banner and outbound links are affiliate links served through Commission Junction (CJ). If you click one, CJ may set a cookie to attribute any resulting purchase. These are advertising/attribution cookies, not set by us directly.
• Payment data — if you buy a download, checkout is handled by Stripe. We never see or store your card details; Stripe processes the payment and returns only an order status.

This site does not run Google Analytics and does not serve Google AdSense. We do not build advertising profiles of you.

Third parties

Our processors and partners are Commission Junction (affiliate links) and Stripe (payments). Each handles data under its own policy.

Your rights

Under UK GDPR you may request access to, correction of, or erasure of your personal data, and you may object to processing. To exercise any right, email [email protected]. You can also complain to the UK Information Commissioner’s Office (ico.org.uk).

Cookies

We use only essential cookies to run the site plus the affiliate/payment cookies described above. You can block or delete cookies in your browser; essential functions may then not work.

Retention & changes

Logs are kept only as long as needed for operation and security. We may update this policy; the current version always lives at this URL. Last reviewed on publication.
