Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how funkolist.com (“we”, “us”) collects, uses, stores, and shares personal data when you visit our website or contact us. We are committed to handling information fairly and lawfully under the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018. This policy should be read together with our Cookie Policy and Terms of Service.

Who we are and contact details

For data protection purposes, the controller responsible for personal data processed via the Site is the operator of funkolist.com. You may contact us about privacy matters at info@funkolist.com. We will respond to legitimate requests within a reasonable period and, where required by law, within one month.

What data we collect

Information you provide. If you email us, we receive your email address, any name you include, and the contents of your message. We use this solely to respond and to maintain a record of correspondence where justified.

Technical and usage data. When you browse the Site, our servers and analytics tools may process IP address, browser type, device type, operating system, referring URLs, pages viewed, and approximate timestamps. Cookies and similar technologies may collect identifiers and preferences as described in our Cookie Policy.

We do not intentionally collect special category data (such as health information) through the Site. The Site is not directed at children; we do not knowingly process data of anyone under 18.

Purposes and legal bases

We process personal data to: operate and secure the Site; understand how visitors use pages so we can improve content and layout; remember cookie choices where you have made them; comply with legal obligations; respond to enquiries; and defend legal claims. Depending on the activity, we rely on: (1) legitimate interests in running an information and affiliate marketing business, keeping the Site secure, and understanding aggregate usage, balanced against your rights; (2) consent where required for non-essential cookies or similar technologies; (3) performance of a contract or steps at your request when you correspond with us about a specific matter; and (4) legal obligation where applicable.

Sharing and international transfers

We use service providers (such as hosting, analytics, and email delivery) who process data on our instructions under appropriate contracts. We may disclose information if required by law, court order, or regulatory authority, or to protect rights, safety, and security. If we transfer personal data outside the UK, we ensure appropriate safeguards such as adequacy regulations, standard contractual clauses, or other mechanisms permitted under UK GDPR.

Retention

We keep emails and related correspondence for as long as needed to resolve your query and for a reasonable period afterwards (typically up to twenty-four months unless a longer period is required for legal or regulatory reasons). Server logs and analytics may be retained in aggregated or pseudonymised form for shorter operational cycles, unless longer retention is justified for security investigations.

Your rights

Under UK data protection law you may have the right to: access your personal data; rectify inaccurate data; erase data in certain circumstances; restrict processing; object to processing based on legitimate interests; data portability where processing is automated and based on contract or consent; and withdraw consent where processing is consent-based. You may lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) in the UK. We will verify requests where appropriate to prevent unauthorised access.

Security

We implement appropriate technical and organisational measures appropriate to the risk, including secure hosting configurations and access controls. No internet transmission is completely secure; you should use updated browsers and avoid sharing sensitive information by email unless necessary.

We may update this Privacy Policy to reflect legal, technical, or business changes. Material changes will be highlighted on this page where practicable. Continued use of the Site after updates constitutes notice of the revised policy where permitted by law.
