When you use this website, we may collect information that you provide directly to us, such as:
-
your name;
-
your email address;
-
information contained in a message or enquiry you send to us; and
-
any other information you choose to provide.
The website and its hosting platform may also collect technical information automatically, including information such as:
-
your IP address;
-
browser and device type;
-
pages visited;
-
approximate visit times and duration;
-
referring websites or pages; and
-
information used to keep the website secure and functioning correctly.
We do not ask visitors to provide sensitive personal information through this website.
How we use your information
We may use personal information to:
-
respond to enquiries or messages;
-
operate, maintain and improve the website;
-
understand how visitors use the site;
-
protect the website from misuse, fraud or security threats;
-
comply with legal obligations; and
-
send communications that you have specifically asked to receive.
We will not sell your personal information.
Our lawful basis for using your information
Under UK data protection law, we must have a lawful basis for processing personal information.
Depending on the circumstances, we may rely on:
Legitimate interests – where it is reasonably necessary to operate the website, respond to enquiries, maintain security and understand how the website is being used.
Consent – where you have actively agreed to something, such as receiving optional communications or allowing non-essential cookies or similar technologies.
Legal obligation – where we need to use or retain information to comply with the law.
Where we rely on consent, you may withdraw that consent at any time.
Wix and website hosting
Wobarth.com is hosted using the Wix.com platform.
Wix provides the technology used to host and operate the website and may process visitor information on our behalf. Wix describes website owners as controllers of their visitors’ data and Wix as a processor where it processes that information on behalf of the site owner. Wix Support
Wix may process or store information in countries outside the United Kingdom. Wix states that international transfers are protected using appropriate safeguards, including adequacy arrangements and contractual protections where required. wix.com
You can find further information about how Wix handles personal information in the Wix Privacy Policy.
Cookies and similar technologies
This website may use cookies and similar technologies to help the site function, maintain security, remember preferences and understand how visitors use the website.
Some technologies are necessary for the website to operate correctly.
Where consent is legally required for non-essential cookies or similar technologies, they should not be activated until you have made an appropriate choice through the website's cookie controls.
You can change or withdraw your cookie choices where those controls are available.
More information about the cookies used by this website may be available through the site's cookie settings or cookie banner.
Analytics
Where analytics tools are enabled, information about how visitors use the website may be collected to help us understand which pages are useful and how the site can be improved.
Where the use of analytics requires consent, analytics technologies will only be used after consent has been given.
We use analytics information to understand general patterns of website use rather than to identify individual visitors unnecessarily.
Who we may share information with
We may share personal information only where reasonably necessary, including with:
-
Wix and other service providers used to operate the website;
-
technology or security providers;
-
professional advisers where necessary; and
-
public authorities or regulators where disclosure is required by law.
Service providers may only receive the information needed to perform the relevant service.
How long we keep information
We keep personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected.
For example:
-
routine enquiries will normally be kept only while the enquiry is being dealt with and for a reasonable period afterwards;
-
correspondence may be retained where necessary to maintain an appropriate record;
-
technical and security information may be retained for periods necessary to operate and protect the website; and
-
information that must be retained for legal reasons will be kept for the period required by law.
We periodically review information we hold and delete or anonymise it when it is no longer needed.
Your data protection rights
Depending on the circumstances, UK data protection law may give you rights including the right to:
-
ask for a copy of the personal information we hold about you;
-
ask us to correct inaccurate information;
-
ask us to delete personal information;
-
ask us to restrict how information is used;
-
object to certain uses of your information;
-
receive certain information in a portable form; and
-
withdraw consent where consent is the basis for processing.
Not every right applies in every circumstance.

The ICO advises that privacy notices should explain these rights and how people can exercise them. ICO
