Who is responsible
Spritzpuzzlewhistl Aquatic Media Ltd, company no. 15128476, is responsible for personal information handled in operating this publication. Our registered office is 18 Queen Square, Bristol BS1 4LH, United Kingdom. For privacy enquiries, write to [email protected].
Browsing this website
The publication is a static website. Its supplied code contains no advertising trackers, analytics beacons, accounts or embedded social-media widgets. Your browser nevertheless sends technical information needed to retrieve a page, such as an IP address, requested address and browser headers. Hosting and network services may process access or security logs to deliver and protect the site.
Where we process technical information for site security and reliable operation, our lawful basis is legitimate interests in providing a safe, functioning publication. Technical records should be limited to what is necessary and retained no longer than needed for those purposes, subject to legal obligations and incident investigation.
The local enquiry tool
The contact page generates a plain-text draft in browser memory. The form does not submit its contents to us, and the tool does not save draft fields in local storage. Copying places text on your device's clipboard; downloading creates a file under your control. Your browser, operating system or clipboard-sync settings may retain copies independently of this website.
If you send the draft using your own email service, we receive your name, address, message and any attachments you choose to include. We use these to respond, investigate a correction or manage the correspondence. Our lawful basis is legitimate interests in handling relevant enquiries; legal obligations may apply to some records. Please do not send sensitive health information or identifiable records about other swimmers.
Preferences and sharing
If you use the controls on the cookies page, a preference is stored locally in your browser. It is not an account identifier and is not transmitted by the preference tool. We do not sell enquiry data. Hosting, email and technical service providers may process information as necessary to operate their services, under applicable contractual and data-protection requirements.
If a service requires personal data to be transferred outside the UK, applicable adequacy arrangements or appropriate safeguards are required where the law demands them. We do not publish private correspondence or athlete information merely because it has been emailed to us.
Retention
We keep correspondence only as long as reasonably needed to resolve the enquiry, maintain an appropriate correction record or meet legal obligations. We review the need to retain records rather than keeping them indefinitely by default. Local preferences remain until you change or clear them; downloaded drafts and clipboard contents are managed on your device.
Your rights
Depending on the circumstances, UK data-protection law gives you rights to access, correct, erase or restrict the use of your personal data, to object to processing based on legitimate interests, and to data portability where applicable. If processing relies on consent, you can withdraw that consent without affecting earlier lawful processing. These rights are subject to legal conditions and exceptions.
Contact us to exercise a right and provide enough information to identify the relevant correspondence. We may need proportionate identity checks. You may also complain to the Information Commissioner's Office. No automated decision-making producing legal or similarly significant effects is performed by the supplied site tools.
External links and changes
Research and institutional links take you to independent websites with their own privacy practices. This notice may be revised when the publication's processing changes. Material changes will be reflected here. For website-use conditions, read the terms.
