Privacy Policy
What personal data Know Your Gadget handles, why, and your rights in the UK, Canada and Australia.
Last updated 5 November 2026
This policy explains how ADMEDIA IMPACT LTD ('we', 'us'), the publisher of Know Your Gadget at knowyourgadget.com, handles personal information. It was last updated on 5 November 2026. In short: this website is built to collect as little as possible. It sets no cookies, runs no analytics, loads no advertising or tracking code and no third-party scripts or fonts, and has no forms, accounts or comment sections.
Who is responsible
The controller of personal data described here is ADMEDIA IMPACT LTD, a Private Limited Company registered in England and Wales under number 16509939, registered office 6K Woodlands Road, Isleworth, TW7 6NX, United Kingdom. Contact: [email protected] or +44 7757 825032.
What we handle and why
Visiting the site. The site does not set cookies or use analytics or advertising tools, and we do not receive visitor statistics. Like any website, the hosting service that delivers pages to your browser may keep ordinary server logs, which typically include technical information such as your IP address, the page requested, the time and the browser type. These logs are generated by the hosting provider for operating and securing the service. We do not use them to profile visitors. Their retention is determined by the hosting provider's own arrangements, which we do not describe here.
Emailing or phoning us. If you contact us, we receive the details you give us, such as your name, email address, telephone number and the content of your message. We use them to read and answer your message and to keep a record of it where needed, for example for a correction request or a data request. We do not add you to any mailing list, and we do not send marketing messages.
Legal bases (UK GDPR)
- Legitimate interests (Article 6(1)(f) UK GDPR): running a website and responding to people who write to us. The data is limited and what a sender would expect.
- Legal obligation (Article 6(1)(c)): where we must keep or disclose information to meet legal duties, for example responding to a lawful request or keeping records of rights requests.
- Consent is not relied on, because we set no non-essential cookies or similar technologies.
We do not carry out automated decision-making or profiling, and we do not sell personal information.
Who receives data
Data is handled by us and by service providers that operate the website hosting and the email service we use. We do not share it for advertising. We may disclose information if the law requires it. External sites we link to have their own policies.
International transfers
We are based in the United Kingdom. Our hosting and email providers may process data in other countries. Where personal data is transferred outside the UK, we expect providers to use a recognised safeguard, such as an adequacy decision or standard contractual clauses. If you want details about the arrangements that apply to you, ask us at [email protected].
How long we keep it
We keep correspondence only as long as needed to deal with your message and any follow-up, and for as long as the law requires us to keep records. We do not set one fixed period for all cases.
Your rights in the United Kingdom
Under the UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018 you can ask us for access to your personal data, correction, deletion, restriction, and portability where it applies, and to object to processing based on legitimate interests. To use these rights, email us. We may need to confirm your identity first. If you are unhappy with our response, you can complain to the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO), the UK data protection regulator, through its website at ico.org.uk.
Canada
For readers in Canada, we handle personal information in line with the principles of the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA): we limit collection to what is needed, use it only to respond to you, protect it, and tell you how to see or correct it. You can ask for access to, or correction of, your information by emailing us. If we cannot resolve your concern, you may contact the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada: priv.gc.ca. Canada's anti-spam law (CASL) regulates commercial electronic messages. We do not send commercial electronic messages and keep no marketing lists.
Australia
For readers in Australia, we aim to handle personal information consistently with the Privacy Act 1988 and the Australian Privacy Principles, including openness about our practices, limiting collection, and giving access and correction on request. Please raise any concern with us first at [email protected]. You may also contact the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC): oaic.gov.au. Whether the Act applies to us directly depends on our activities; where it does not, we follow these standards voluntarily.
Children
This website is a general-interest publication and is not directed at children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 13, or under 16 where the law of their country sets a higher age for giving consent. If you believe a child has sent us personal information, tell us and we will delete it.
Security
We limit access to correspondence and use reasonable measures to protect it, though no service can promise absolute security.
Changes to this policy
If our practices change, for example if we add analytics, cookies or forms, we will update this policy before the change and show a new date at the top. Any future sponsored page that handles data will show its own privacy information. The current date of this version is 5 November 2026.
