Privacy Policy

1. Who We Are

The Camper Directory is a UK-based online directory of campervan conversion companies. We operate at camperdirectory.co.uk and are committed to protecting your personal data in accordance with the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018.

For any privacy-related enquiries, you can contact us at privacy@camperdirectory.co.uk.

2. What Data We Collect

The Camper Directory is a browse-only directory. No account registration is required to use the site. The personal data we collect is minimal:

• Newsletter subscription: If you choose to subscribe to our newsletter, we collect your email address. This is entirely optional.
• Analytics data: We use privacy-focused analytics to understand how visitors use the site in aggregate (e.g., page views, referral sources). This data is not linked to individuals.
• Technical data: Like most websites, our servers automatically log standard technical information such as IP addresses and browser types. These logs are used solely for security and operational purposes and are not used for marketing.

We do not collect names, postal addresses, phone numbers, or any financial information from visitors using the directory.

3. How We Use Your Data

We use the data we collect only for the purposes stated below:

• Newsletter: Your email address is used solely to send you the The Camper Directory newsletter. We will never sell, rent, or share your email address with any third party. You can unsubscribe at any time using the link in any newsletter email.
• Site improvement: Aggregated, anonymised analytics data helps us understand which parts of the site are most useful and where we can improve the experience.
• Security: Technical log data may be used to detect and prevent fraud, abuse, or security incidents.

4. Legal Basis for Processing

Under UK GDPR, we rely on the following lawful bases for processing personal data:

• Consent: For newsletter subscriptions. You can withdraw your consent at any time by unsubscribing.
• Legitimate interests: For analytics and security logging, where our interest in operating a safe and effective website does not override your privacy rights.

5. Cookies

We use the following types of cookies on The Camper Directory:

• Essential cookies: Required for the site to function correctly (e.g., session management, security tokens). These cannot be disabled.
• Analytics cookies: Used to collect anonymised information about how visitors use the site. We use privacy-first analytics tools that do not share data with third parties for advertising purposes.

We do not use advertising cookies, tracking pixels, or third-party marketing cookies.

6. Data Retention

We retain personal data only for as long as necessary:

• Newsletter email addresses are retained until you unsubscribe or request deletion.
• Server log data is typically retained for up to 90 days for security purposes, then deleted.

7. Your Rights Under UK GDPR

You have the following rights regarding 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 data we hold about you.
• Right to erasure: You can request that we delete your personal data, subject to any legal obligations to retain it.
• Right to data portability: You can request your data in a machine-readable format where technically feasible.
• Right to withdraw consent: Where processing is based on consent, you can withdraw it at any time without affecting the lawfulness of prior processing.

8. Third-Party Services

We use a small number of third-party services to operate The Camper Directory. Where these services process personal data on our behalf, they do so under appropriate data processing agreements. We do not share your personal data with third parties for their own marketing purposes.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this privacy policy from time to time. When we do, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. Material changes will be communicated to newsletter subscribers by email.
