Privacy policy

Hivemind Works Ltd, trading as showzawonderhive, respects your privacy. This policy explains how we collect, use and protect information when you visit showzawonderhive.com, contact us or subscribe to an interaction with our guide.

Information we collect

We may collect contact details you submit, such as your name, email address and message. We also receive technical information including IP address, browser type, device information, approximate location and pages viewed. Essential local storage records your cookie preference. We do not ask for special-category data and ask you not to include confidential information in contact forms.

How we use information

We use information to operate the website, respond to enquiries, prevent abuse, understand aggregate usage and meet legal obligations. Our legal bases may include performance of a request, legitimate interests in maintaining and improving the website, consent for optional analytics, and compliance with law.

Cookies and processors

We use essential storage for preferences and may use optional analytics only after consent. Service providers may process hosting logs, email delivery, security events and analytics on our behalf. They must act under contractual instructions and may not use your information for their own unrelated purposes. We do not sell personal information.

Retention and security

Enquiries are normally retained for up to 24 months after the last meaningful contact. Security and server logs may be retained for shorter operational periods, unless needed to investigate abuse or comply with law. We use access controls and reasonable technical safeguards, but no internet transmission is guaranteed to be completely secure.

Your rights

Depending on your location, GDPR and UK GDPR rights include access, correction, deletion, restriction, objection, portability and withdrawal of consent. California residents may request access, deletion and information about disclosures, subject to applicable exceptions. Contact us at [email protected]. You may also complain to your relevant data protection authority. Our privacy contact acts as DPO liaison; no statutory DPO is appointed unless required.

Changes

We may update this policy when our services or legal duties change. The effective date above identifies the current version.
