Contact: contact@redundancybrief.co.uk
2. What data is collected
This site collects minimal data. Specifically:
If you purchase a digital product through this site, the transaction is processed by Gumroad Inc. Gumroad collects and processes your payment details, email address, and purchase information. The Redundancy Brief receives a record of completed transactions including your email address and the product purchased. Gumroad's privacy policy governs their handling of your data.
If you send an email to the contact address above, your email address and the content of your message are retained for the purpose of responding to you.
This site does not operate an account system, a mailing list, or a subscription service.
3. Cookies and analytics
This site may use basic analytics (such as page view counts) to understand traffic. Any such tools are configured to avoid storing personally identifiable information. No advertising cookies are used. No third-party tracking pixels are embedded.
If you have browser cookies disabled, the site will function normally.
4. Legal basis for processing
Where personal data is held, the legal basis is either legitimate interest (email correspondence, transaction records) or contract performance (fulfilling a digital product purchase). No data is processed on the basis of consent, and no consent banners are currently required given the limited nature of data collection described above.
5. Data retention
Transaction records are retained for a minimum of six years in accordance with HMRC guidance applicable to sole traders. Email correspondence is retained only as long as necessary to resolve the relevant enquiry.
6. Your rights
Under UK GDPR you have the right to request access to personal data held about you, to request its correction or deletion, and to object to its processing. Submit requests to contact@redundancybrief.co.uk. Requests will be acknowledged within one month.
You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) at ico.org.uk.
7. Third parties
This site does not sell, share, or transfer personal data to third parties except as described above in relation to Gumroad. No data is transferred outside the UK or EEA in a manner that would require additional safeguards under UK GDPR, except insofar as Gumroad operates under its own international data transfer arrangements, which are governed by their own policy.
