Privacy Policy

Overview

Sjovian operates this website as a static, informational resource. The website does not offer services, sell products, collect user accounts, or process transactions. This Privacy Policy explains our approach to data in the context of a static informational site operating under United Kingdom data protection law, specifically the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018.

Because this is a fully static website with no server-side processing, no backend database, and no user registration functionality, the categories of personal data that may be involved are minimal and primarily arise through voluntary contact form submission.

Data Collection

Information You Provide Voluntarily

The only mechanism through which you may provide information to Sjovian is via the contact form on the Contact page. This form collects an email address and a free-text message field. The purpose is to receive general inquiries about the educational content on this website.

This form does not collect names, telephone numbers, postal addresses, or any sensitive personal data. The form's design and action are configured to direct submission to a static acknowledgement page (thank-you.php). No data is transmitted to, stored in, or processed by any backend server operated by Sjovian.

Information Collected Automatically

As a static website, Sjovian does not deploy analytics tracking scripts, session recording tools, advertising pixels, or user profiling technologies. Standard web server access logs, which may be maintained by the hosting infrastructure provider, may contain IP addresses and request metadata. Sjovian does not access, process, or store this information directly.

Cookies and Local Storage

This website uses browser local storage to preserve a single user preference: whether the cookie consent notice has been acknowledged. This is a functional necessity to avoid repeatedly displaying the notice. No tracking cookies, advertising identifiers, or cross-site tracking mechanisms are used.

Please refer to the Cookie Policy for a full description of the cookies and storage mechanisms used on this site.

Third-Party Services

This website loads Bootstrap CSS and JavaScript from the StackPath CDN, and jQuery from the jQuery CDN. These are standard open-source frontend libraries. When your browser loads these resources, a network request is made to external servers. Their respective privacy policies govern any data those servers may log in connection with those requests. Sjovian does not receive or process data from these interactions.

Google Fonts are loaded via the Google Fonts API to supply the Inter and Playfair Display typefaces used on this site. Requests to Google's servers are made when pages load. Google's privacy policy applies to those requests. Sjovian does not receive data from this process.

No advertising networks, affiliate programmes, retargeting pixels, or commercial data processors are used on this site.

Your Rights Under UK GDPR

Under UK data protection law, individuals have the right to access, rectify, erase, restrict, and object to the processing of their personal data, as well as the right to data portability where applicable. Given that this website does not collect, store, or process personal data through automated systems, the practical scope of these rights in relation to Sjovian is limited.

If you have submitted a contact form inquiry and wish to make a data rights request, you may contact us using the details provided in the Contact section below.

Right to Complain

If you believe your data protection rights have been infringed, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO), the supervisory authority for data protection in the United Kingdom. The ICO can be reached at ico.org.uk.

Data Retention

As no personal data is collected or stored by Sjovian's systems, no formal data retention schedule applies. Should this position change, this policy will be updated accordingly and a revised review date will be published.
