This privacy policy explains how Bakuro Marketing (“we”, “us”, “our”) collects, uses, and protects personal data when you visit our website or get in touch with us. We are committed to handling your information in accordance with the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018.

2. What Data We Collect

Contact form

When you submit our contact form, we collect:

• Your name
• Your email address
• Any other information you choose to include in your message

 

This data is used solely to respond to your enquiry. It is not shared with third parties and is not used for marketing purposes unless you separately give us consent to do so.

Server logs

When you visit our website, our hosting provider automatically records standard technical information in server log files. This includes your IP address, browser type, operating system, the pages you visit, and the date and time of your visit. This data is used for security and maintenance purposes only and is not linked to any personally identifiable information.

3. Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics (GA4) to understand how visitors use our website. This service collects anonymised data about your visit, including pages viewed, time spent on the site, and how you arrived. This helps us improve the website.

Google Analytics uses cookies to collect this data. The information is transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States. Google acts as a data processor on our behalf and is bound by appropriate data transfer safeguards.

You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking by installing the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on, available at:

4. YouTube Video Embeds

Some pages on our website include embedded YouTube videos. YouTube is operated by Google LLC. When you load a page containing a YouTube embed, YouTube may set cookies on your device and collect data about your visit, even if you do not play the video.

To limit this, we use YouTube’s privacy-enhanced mode where possible (youtube-nocookie.com). However, if you interact with an embedded video, data will be transmitted to YouTube and Google under their own privacy policy.

YouTube’s privacy policy is available at:

5. Cookies

Our website uses cookies. A cookie is a small text file placed on your device by your browser when you visit a website. We use the following types of cookie:

• Strictly necessary cookies: required for the website to function correctly. These cannot be disabled.
• Analytics cookies: set by Google Analytics to collect anonymised usage data as described above.
• Third-party cookies: set by YouTube when embedded video content is loaded on a page.

 

You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings. Disabling analytics or third-party cookies will not affect your ability to use the website. For more information on managing cookies, visit www.aboutcookies.org.

6. Legal Basis for Processing

We process personal data on the following legal grounds under UK GDPR:

• Legitimate interests (Article 6(1)(f)): for server log data and analytics, where our interest in maintaining a secure and functional website does not override your rights.
• Consent (Article 6(1)(a)): for analytics and non-essential cookies, where you have accepted our cookie policy.
• Contract performance (Article 6(1)(b)): where processing is necessary to respond to an enquiry or fulfil a service.

 

7. How Long We Keep Your Data

Contact form enquiries are retained for as long as necessary to respond to and resolve your enquiry, and for up to 12 months thereafter in case of follow-up correspondence. Server log data is retained for a maximum of 90 days. Analytics data held by Google Analytics is subject to their own retention settings, which we have configured to 14 months.

8. Your Rights

Under UK GDPR, you have the following rights in relation to your personal data:

• Right of access: you can request a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
• Right to rectification: you can ask us to correct inaccurate or incomplete data.
• Right to erasure: you can ask us to delete your personal data where there is no longer a legitimate reason to retain it.
• Right to restriction: you can ask us to limit how we use your data while a dispute is resolved.
• Right to data portability: you can request your data in a structured, commonly used format.
• Right to object: you can object to processing based on legitimate interests or direct marketing.
• Right to withdraw consent: where processing is based on consent, you can withdraw it at any time.
