At Mauawiyah Digital Marketing UK, we comply with the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018.

We are committed to processing your personal data lawfully, fairly, and transparently.

1. Legal Basis for Processing

We collect and process your personal information only when:

• You have given clear consent (e.g., submitting a contact form or accepting cookies);
• It is necessary for providing our services or responding to your enquiry; or
• We are required by law to retain certain data.

---

Our website uses cookies to improve performance, analytics, and user experience.

Upon your first visit, a cookie consent banner appears asking you to:

• Accept all cookies,
• Reject non-essential cookies, or
• Manage preferences.

No tracking or analytics cookies are activated until you grant consent.

You can change or withdraw your consent at any time through the Cookie Settings link in our website footer.

When you contact us through a form, we only collect the data necessary to respond to your enquiry (e.g., name, email, phone, message).
Each form includes a consent checkbox confirming that:

“I agree to the processing of my personal data in accordance with this Privacy Policy.”

We never sell, rent, or share your details with third parties for marketing purposes.

We may use third-party services (such as email hosting, analytics, or marketing tools) to process data securely on our behalf.
Before engaging any service provider, we ensure:

• They are GDPR-compliant;
• A Data Processing Agreement (DPA) is in place outlining responsibilities and data protection measures; and
• They only process data as instructed by Mauawiyah Digital Marketing UK.

My website uses both essential and analytics cookies. When you first visit, a cookie banner lets you choose your preferences.

Essential cookies enable core functions such as security and accessibility. Analytics cookies (e.g. Google Analytics) help me understand how the site is used so I can improve performance. You can disable cookies anytime in your browser settings

---

I may share your data with:

• Trusted third-party service providers (e.g. payment processors, analytics platforms)
• Officials or authorities when required by law
• In case of business sale or transfer, limited necessary data may be transferred

All third parties are required to protect your data and use it only for specified purposes.

All third-party processors are bound by written Data Processing Agreements (DPAs) to ensure compliance with UK GDPR requirements

---

I will retain your personal data only as long as necessary for the purposes stated above, and in line with legal obligations (e.g. financial records). Once no longer needed, data will either be anonymised or securely deleted.

Financial and tax records are retained for up to seven years to comply with HMRC requirements.

To exercise any right, contact me via the email above. I’ll respond within required legal timeframes.

If you’re unsatisfied, you may lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) in the UK.

Some rights, such as erasure or restriction, may be limited when data must be retained to meet legal or contractual obligations (for example, invoice records).

---

I use appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect your personal data, such as:

• Encryption, secure servers, HTTPS
• Access controls and restricted permissions
• Regular reviews and audits

However, no system is 100% secure. If a data breach occurs, I’ll notify you and authorities if legally required.

The website is hosted on secure UK or EU-based servers that comply with GDPR standards.

---

My site is not intended for children under 16. I do not knowingly collect personal data from children under 16. If I become aware I have done so, I will delete it immediately.

---

If your data is transferred outside the UK or EEA (e.g. analytics servers), I’ll ensure adequate protections, such as standard contractual clauses or other safeguards, to maintain legal protection.

For example, Google Analytics may transfer anonymised data to servers in the United States under Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) approved by the UK Information Commissioner’s Office.

---

I may update this Privacy Policy periodically (e.g. new services, legal changes). Any changes will be posted here with a new “Last updated” date.

Your continued use of the site after changes implies acceptance of the updated policy.

---

I take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect your data, but no system is completely secure. While I cannot guarantee absolute security of online transmissions, I will act promptly to notify you and relevant authorities if a breach occurs.
