Privacy Policy

We keep things simple: we only use personal data to respond to messages you send us, and we use privacy-friendly analytics to understand overall site performance.

UK GDPR / DPA 2018 PECR No tracking cookies

Who we are

Quarterdeck Coffee (“we”, “us”) is a mobile coffee business and the operator of this website.

Owens Applications LTD manages the website and communication methods on our behalf and is ICO registered. Need to add ICO number here

Data roles

  • Controller: Quarterdeck Coffee (for enquiries and customer communications)
  • Processor / site operator: Owens Applications LTD (website management and communications tooling)

What we collect

When you contact us

Name, email address, and the content of your message (plus anything you choose to include).

Technical essentials

Limited data needed for security and reliability (such as error logs).

Please avoid including sensitive personal information in messages. We do not intentionally collect special category data.

How we use it

  • To respond to your message or enquiry
  • To arrange or discuss bookings you request
  • To keep the website secure and functioning

Lawful basis

We process enquiry data under legitimate interests (replying to messages and running the site), and where relevant contract steps (when you ask for a quote or booking).

We only use your contact information to respond to your message. We do not sell your data.

Analytics (Fathom)

We use Fathom Analytics to understand overall website usage (e.g. which pages are visited). This helps us maintain and improve the website.

Cookieless by design

Fathom is designed to work without cookies and without creating personal profiles. It provides aggregated, privacy-friendly statistics.

If you click links to third-party services (such as Instagram), those services may use cookies or other tracking technologies.

Cookies

We don’t use tracking cookies on this website for analytics. If we ever add cookie-based tools in future, we will update this policy and (where required) provide a cookie notice/controls.

Third-party cookies

Social media platforms and other third-party sites may set cookies or collect data when you visit them. We don’t control these services—please read their privacy/cookie policies directly.

Under PECR, cookie rules generally apply to storing/reading information on your device. Our cookieless analytics is intended to reduce the need for cookie banners.

Sharing & processors

We only share personal data with service providers needed to run the site and respond to you.

Owens Applications LTD

Website management and communications handling (ICO registered).

Hosting / forms

If you submit a form, it may be processed by the hosting/forms provider to deliver it to us.

Some providers may process data outside the UK. Where relevant, we rely on appropriate safeguards (such as contractual protections).

Security

We take reasonable measures to protect information submitted through the website. No method of transmission is completely secure, but we aim to use good practice and reputable providers.

How long we keep data

We keep enquiry messages only as long as needed to respond and keep a reasonable record, then delete or anonymise when no longer required.

Typical retention

General enquiries: 1 month
Event/catering enquiries: duration of booking + 6 months

Your rights

Under UK data protection law, you have rights including:

  • Access to your personal data
  • Correction of inaccurate data
  • Deletion (in certain circumstances)
  • Restriction or objection to processing (in certain circumstances)
  • Data portability (where applicable)
