Privacy notice

Last updated: 23 August 2026

This notice explains how The Perry uses personal information when you visit theperry.co.uk or contact us. It is written for a UK audience and should be read with our Cookie Policy and Website Terms.

Who is responsible for your information

Peter and Anita Perry operate The Perry and are responsible for the personal information described in this notice. You can contact us through the Contact page. Please do not use that form to send passwords, identification documents, financial records, tax information, health information or other confidential material.

Information we collect

Contact enquiries: your name, email address, selected subject and message when you choose to contact us.
Technical and security information: limited information such as IP address, browser or device information, requested pages, timestamps and security events may be recorded by the website, hosting service, security tools or server logs.
Cookie choices: the consent platform records the choices needed to remember and demonstrate your cookie preferences.
Correspondence and corrections: information you provide when suggesting an article, reporting an error, asserting a right or raising a copyright, privacy or accessibility concern.

We do not offer visitor accounts, online shopping, payment processing, public comments or an email newsletter on this website at the date of this notice. We do not ask for special-category or similarly sensitive personal information.

Why we use it and our lawful bases

To respond to an enquiry: with your consent, shown by the contact-form confirmation, and where appropriate for our legitimate interest in answering genuine correspondence.
To operate, protect and troubleshoot the website: for our legitimate interests in maintaining a secure, reliable editorial website and preventing misuse.
To manage cookie preferences: to comply with legal obligations and remember the choices you request. Non-essential storage or access technologies are used only where an applicable consent or statutory exception permits them.
To maintain editorial accuracy and rights records: for our legitimate interests in correcting content, documenting sources and responding to legal or rights-related concerns.
To comply with law or establish, exercise or defend legal claims: where processing is necessary for a legal obligation or our legitimate interests.

Who receives the information

Information is available only where needed to Peter and Anita and to suppliers that help run the website, including the web-hosting and email services, WordPress and its necessary plugins, the CookieYes consent platform, website-security and caching services, and professional advisers or authorities where disclosure is legally required. These suppliers may act as processors or, for some services, as separate controllers under their own privacy terms.

We do not sell personal information. We do not share contact-form details with advertisers or use them for unrelated marketing.

International transfers

Some technology suppliers may process limited information outside the UK. Where UK data-protection law requires safeguards, we rely on an applicable UK adequacy regulation, the UK International Data Transfer Agreement, the UK Addendum to approved standard contractual clauses, or another lawful safeguard used by the supplier. Details can be requested through the Contact page.

How long we keep information

Ordinary contact correspondence is normally kept for up to 12 months after the last meaningful exchange, then deleted unless it remains reasonably necessary for a correction, rights issue or legal claim.
Security and server logs are kept for the shortest period reasonably required for security, troubleshooting and supplier operation, according to the relevant system’s configured retention period.
Cookie-consent records and preference cookies are retained for the period shown in the consent platform or Cookie Policy and refreshed or removed when no longer required.
Records of material editorial corrections, licences, permissions and legal matters may be kept for as long as the related content remains published and afterwards where reasonably necessary to demonstrate rights or resolve a claim.

Your rights

Depending on the circumstances, you may have rights to be informed, access your information, correct it, erase it, restrict its use, object to processing, receive portable information, and withdraw consent. Withdrawal does not affect processing that was lawful before withdrawal. Some rights are qualified and may not apply in every situation.

To exercise a right, use the Contact page and identify the request without sending unnecessary confidential information. We may need proportionate information to confirm identity. You may also complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office.

Cookies and external websites

Our use of cookies and similar technologies is explained in the Cookie Policy. Articles may link to third-party websites. Those organisations are responsible for their own privacy practices; our link does not extend this notice to their services.

Changes to this notice

We will update this notice when the website, its suppliers or applicable requirements materially change. The date at the top shows the latest revision. Significant changes will be highlighted where reasonably practical.
