Collection, use and sharing
Edit each paragraph so it matches your actual data flows. Remove anything that does not apply and add anything that is missing.
1. Scope and controller
This policy applies to information collected through this website, including pages that link to this policy and forms hosted on this site [confirm scope]. The data controller is [Insert legal entity name, business form, and registered details if applicable]. For questions about this policy, use the contact method described in Section 13.
If you operate additional products, apps, or offline processes that handle personal information differently, describe them separately or link to their own notices.
2. Information we collect
a) Information you provide directly. For example, if you submit an enquiry or request access, you may provide [Insert examples that actually apply, e.g., name, business email, company name, message content]. Do not list data you do not collect.
b) Information collected automatically. When you browse the site, certain technical information may be collected automatically, such as [Insert what applies, e.g., pages viewed, device and browser type, approximate location derived from IP address, referral source]. See Section 5 for cookies.
c) Information from other sources. [Insert if applicable, e.g., “We do not purchase third-party lists” or describe sources]. If this does not apply, state that clearly or remove this paragraph.
3. How we use information
We use information only for the purposes described here. Adapt this list to your actual purposes:
— To operate, maintain and secure the website;
— To respond to enquiries and requests for access or information;
— To communicate about updates or administrative matters [only where appropriate and lawful];
— To understand aggregate site usage and improve content and performance;
— To comply with legal obligations and enforce our terms [insert if applicable].
We do not use this policy to claim rights you do not have. If you rely on consent, legitimate interests, contract, or other grounds in your jurisdiction, describe that accurately after legal review — do not copy generic legal bases that may not apply to you.
4. How we share information
We do not sell personal information [confirm and keep only if true]. We may share information only as described here:
— Service providers: [Insert categories, e.g., website hosting, analytics, form processing] that act on our instructions and are bound by appropriate confidentiality and data-protection obligations;
— Legal and safety: Where we believe disclosure is necessary to comply with law, protect rights, safety or property, or investigate misuse [have counsel review];
— Business changes: In connection with a reorganisation, merger or asset transfer, subject to applicable law [include only if relevant].
List any specific recipients or categories you actually use. Remove categories you do not use.
Cookies, retention and security
General explanations to adapt to your actual technical setup.
Cookies and similar technologies
We [do / do not — choose one] use cookies and similar technologies. [If you use them, insert: what types you use (e.g., strictly necessary, preferences, analytics), their purpose, duration, and how visitors can manage them through browser settings or your consent tool. If you use a consent banner or preference centre, describe it here and keep it consistent with what visitors actually see.]
Data retention
We keep personal information only for as long as needed for the purposes described in this policy, unless a longer period is required or permitted by law. [Insert your actual retention periods or criteria, e.g., enquiry records kept for X months/years, server logs kept for X days.] Describe how you securely delete or anonymise data when it is no longer needed.
Security
We take reasonable administrative, technical and organisational measures to protect information [summarise measures you actually use, e.g., access controls, encryption in transit, hosting safeguards]. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security. Do not promise specific certifications or standards unless you hold them.
Your choices and rights
How to manage your information and make requests. Procedures and response times vary by jurisdiction — describe only what you will actually honour.
8. Your rights and choices
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to request access, correction, deletion, restriction, portability, or objection regarding your personal information, and to withdraw consent where consent was the basis. [Have counsel confirm which rights apply to you and insert accurate instructions.]
To make a request, [Insert how — e.g., use the Contact page and include what to provide for verification]. We will respond in accordance with applicable law. [Insert expected timeframe only if you can meet it.] You may also manage cookies through your browser settings and any preference tool we provide [if applicable].
9. Children, third-party links and international matters
Children: This website is not directed to children under [Insert age, e.g., 16/18] and we do not knowingly collect their personal information [confirm]. If you believe a child has provided information, contact us so we can address it.

[Insert accurate statements only. For example: whether you respond to Do Not Track signals; whether you engage in profiling or automated decision-making with legal or significant effects.
