Information you choose to send

The contact form collects your name, your email address and the message you write. This information is used only to read and reply to your message. The legal basis for this is legitimate interests: responding to people who choose to get in touch.

Analytics

niallgallacher.uk uses Metricool to understand how the site is used, such as which pages are visited, how visitors arrive and what type of device they use. This information is used to measure the results of the SEO work documented on the site. Metricool may use cookies or similar technologies to do this. Where cookies are used for analytics, they are only set with your consent.

Services that help run the site

• Hosting: the site is hosted by IONOS, which processes technical information such as IP addresses to deliver the website and keep it secure.
• Fonts: some typefaces are loaded from Google Fonts, which means your browser connects to Google and shares your IP address with Google when a page loads.
• Contact form: messages sent through the form are delivered by email to Niall Gallacher.

Some of these providers may process information outside the United Kingdom. Where that happens, they are expected to protect it with safeguards recognised under UK data protection law.

• ask for a copy of the personal information held about you
• ask for inaccurate information to be corrected

To use any of these rights, email niallgallacher@niallgallacher.uk or get in touch through the Contact page. If you are unhappy with how your information has been handled, you can complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) at ico.org.uk.
