Who We Are
Portable Power Station UK (portable-powerstation.co.uk) is run by Biztech Ltd, based in Birmingham, United Kingdom. For anything to do with your data, email [email protected].
We are the data controller for personal information collected through this website.
What this policy covers
This policy explains what information we collect when you visit the site, why we collect it, who we share it with, and what choices you have. It applies to portable-powerstation.co.uk only. Websites we link to, including Amazon UK and manufacturer sites, have their own privacy policies.
Information you give us
We use collected data solely to improve our content and user experience. We do not sell, rent, or share your personal data with third parties for marketing purposes.
Information collected automatically
When you visit the site, some information is collected through cookies and similar technologies. This can include your IP address, device and browser type, the pages you view, how long you stay, and the site that referred you. Which of these are collected depends on the cookie choices you make in our consent banner.
Cookies and your consent
We use CookieYes to manage cookie consent. When you first visit, a banner lets you accept or reject cookies by category. Strictly necessary cookies run without consent because the site cannot work properly without them. Analytics and advertising cookies only run after you give consent.
You can change your choice at any time using the cookie settings link in the footer. Our Cookie Policy explains each category in more detail.
Advertising: Google AdSense
We use Google AdSense to show adverts on this site.
- Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your previous visits to this website and other websites.
- Google’s use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visits to this site and other sites on the internet.
- You can opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google’s My Ad Center at https://myadcenter.google.com. You can also opt out of some third-party vendors’ use of cookies for personalised advertising at https://www.aboutads.info.
- To learn how Google uses information from sites that use its services, visit https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.
If you reject advertising cookies, you may still see adverts, but they will not be personalised.
Analytics: Google Analytics
We use Google Analytics, installed through Google’s Site Kit plugin, to understand how visitors use the site, for example which pages are read most and where visitors arrive from. This helps us decide which guides to improve. Google Analytics only runs after you consent to analytics cookies.
Affiliate links: Amazon Associates
As an Amazon Associate, we earn from qualifying purchases. When you click a “Check Price on Amazon UK” button, Amazon may set a cookie to record that you came from our site. This happens on Amazon’s side, under Amazon’s privacy notice. We never see your name, address or what you buy. Our Affiliate Disclosure explains how this works.
Hosting, security and performance
The site is delivered through Cloudflare, which protects it from attacks and speeds up loading, and is hosted on a LiteSpeed server with caching. These services process technical data such as IP addresses to keep the site secure and working.
Who we share information with
We only share information with the services named in this policy (Google, Amazon, CookieYes and Cloudflare), and only for the purposes described. We do not sell your personal information.
International transfers
Some of these providers process data outside the UK, including in the United States. Where this happens, they rely on safeguards recognised under UK data protection law, such as the UK International Data Transfer Addendum or the UK-US Data Bridge.
How long we keep information
Contact form messages are kept only as long as needed to deal with your enquiry. Analytics data is kept according to the retention setting in our Google Analytics account. Cookie lifespans are listed in our Cookie Policy.
Your rights
Under UK GDPR you have the right to:
- ask for a copy of the personal information we hold about you
- ask us to correct or delete it
- object to or restrict how we use it
- withdraw consent at any time, using the cookie settings link
To use any of these rights, email [email protected]. We will reply within one month. If you are unhappy with how we have handled your data, you can complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office at https://ico.org.uk.
Children
This site is written for adults buying power equipment. We do not knowingly collect information from children under 13.
Changes to this policy
We will update this page if the services we use change. The date at the top shows when it was last revised.
