Privacy Notice

1. Who is responsible for the site?

FreeChocolate.co.uk is operated by Quassim Yafai, a sole trader trading as FreeChocolate.co.uk. For UK data-protection purposes, Quassim Yafai is the controller of personal data processed in connection with this website.

2. Information processed when you visit

We do not provide accounts, contact forms or checkout facilities, and we do not ask you to enter personal information on this website. We do not use analytics, advertising trackers or behavioural profiling.

Like most websites, the web server and hosting provider may automatically process limited technical information needed to deliver and protect the site. This may include your IP address, browser and device type, requested page, date and time, referral information, and security or error records.

3. Why technical information is used

Technical information is used only to serve the website, maintain its security and reliability, prevent misuse, diagnose faults and establish or defend legal claims. The lawful basis is our legitimate interest in operating a secure and functional website.

4. Cookies and tracking

We do not intentionally set non-essential cookies and do not use analytics or advertising-tracking cookies. The hosting infrastructure may use technology that is strictly necessary for security, network delivery or load balancing. If this changes, this notice and any consent controls will be updated before non-essential technology is used.

5. Google Fonts

The site requests typefaces from Google Fonts. When your browser makes that request, Google may receive technical information such as your IP address and browser details. Google handles that information under its own privacy policy. This service is used for the legitimate interest of presenting the site consistently.

6. Affiliate and external links

Some links take you to independent partner websites. We may receive a commission if you sign up through an affiliate link, at no extra cost to you. After you follow a link, the destination website controls its own collection and use of information. Please read its privacy policy and terms before providing personal information.

7. Who may receive information?

Limited technical information may be processed by our hosting, network, security and font providers acting under their own terms or on our behalf. We may also disclose information where required by law or reasonably necessary to protect legal rights. We do not sell personal information.

8. International processing

Some service providers may process information outside the United Kingdom. Where UK data-protection law requires safeguards for a restricted transfer, we rely on the provider's applicable contractual or other approved safeguards.

9. Retention

We do not keep a separate marketing or analytics database. Routine technical records are retained only for as long as reasonably necessary to operate and secure the site, investigate an incident, comply with legal obligations or deal with a claim. The period depends on the record and the hosting provider's configuration.

10. Your rights

Depending on the circumstances, you may have rights to access, correct or erase your personal data, restrict or object to its use, and receive a portable copy. Contact us using the details above. You may also complain to the Information Commissioner's Office.

11. Children

The featured opportunity is intended for UK residents aged 18 or over. We do not knowingly collect information from children.

12. Changes to this notice

We may update this notice when the website, service providers or legal requirements change. The date at the top shows the latest revision.
