Privacy Policy

Last updated: June 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how Rony Roy ("I", "me", "my") collects, uses, and protects personal information when you visit ronyroy.com ("the Website"). I am committed to handling your data responsibly and in accordance with the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018.

1. Who is responsible for your data?

Data controller: Rony Roy

Website: ronyroy.com

Contact: hello@ronyroy.com

2. What personal data I collect

2.1 Email correspondence

The website includes an email link (hello@ronyroy.com) which opens your default email application. If you choose to send me an email, I will receive and retain that correspondence, including your name, email address, and any information you include in your message. This data is used solely to respond to your enquiry. The legal basis for processing this data is legitimate interests (UK GDPR Article 6(1)(f)) — specifically, responding to inbound communications.

I do not operate a contact form on this website. No personal data is submitted to or stored on this website's server as a result of you making contact.

2.2 Server logs

Like most websites, the server that hosts ronyroy.com automatically records basic technical information when you visit, including your IP address, browser type, pages visited, and the date and time of your visit. This is a standard part of how web servers operate and is used to maintain security and diagnose technical issues. The legal basis is legitimate interests.

2.3 Newsletter (forthcoming)

When the newsletter feature launches on this website, subscribers will be asked to provide their email address and will receive an explicit opt-in confirmation. This section will be updated at that time to reflect the processing involved. The legal basis for newsletter communications will be consent (UK GDPR Article 6(1)(a)).

3. How I use your data

I use personal data only for the purposes for which it was collected:

  • To respond to email enquiries
  • To maintain the security and performance of the website
  • To send newsletters, where you have explicitly opted in

I do not use your personal data for automated decision-making or profiling, and I do not sell your data to third parties.

4. Who I share your data with

I do not sell, rent, or trade your personal data. A limited number of trusted third-party services are used to operate this website, and these may process your data on my behalf:

4.1 Hosting provider (Krystal)

ronyroy.com is hosted by Krystal Hosting. Server logs are processed on their infrastructure. Krystal operates within the UK and complies with UK GDPR.

4.2 LinkedIn (embedded content)

The "Latest" section of the website displays LinkedIn activity. If LinkedIn content is loaded, LinkedIn may set its own cookies and collect data in accordance with its own privacy policy. I recommend reviewing LinkedIn's privacy policy if you have concerns.

5. How long I keep your data

  • Email enquiries: retained for up to 24 months, or until the matter is resolved, whichever is sooner
  • Server logs: typically retained for up to 90 days by the hosting provider

Under UK GDPR, you have the following rights regarding your personal data:

  • The right to access the personal data I hold about you

  • The right to have your data erased (the "right to be forgotten") in certain circumstances
  • The right to restrict how I process your data
  • The right to object to processing based on legitimate interests

7. Data security

I take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect your personal data from unauthorised access, loss, or disclosure. The website is served over HTTPS, and access to any stored data is restricted. No method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure, and I cannot guarantee absolute security.
