UK GDPR Compliance
Quiet Tech Surge is committed to respecting your data protection rights under the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR). This page explains how we comply with these rights, even though we do not collect or store personal data through user registration or databases.
Scope and Applicability
The UK GDPR applies to the processing of personal data of individuals in the United Kingdom. While Quiet Tech Surge does not require users to register or submit personal information, we may automatically collect limited data through website analytics and server logs — such as IP addresses, browser types, and browsing behaviour — for operational and security purposes. This data is processed solely to ensure site functionality and improve user experience.
Your Rights Under UK GDPR
Under the UK GDPR, you have the following rights:
- Right of access: You may request confirmation of whether your personal data is being processed and obtain a copy of it.
- Right to rectification: You may request correction of inaccurate or incomplete personal data.
- Right to erasure: You may request deletion of your personal data where there is no compelling reason for its continued processing.
- Right to restriction of processing: You may request that we limit the way we use your data under certain conditions.
- Right to data portability: You may request your data in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format.
- Right to object: You may object to processing based on legitimate interests, including profiling or analytics.
- Right to withdraw consent: Where consent is the legal basis, you may withdraw it at any time.
How We Comply
Quiet Tech Surge complies with UK GDPR by:
- Using only essential cookies and analytics tools that do not identify individuals directly.
- Minimising data collection to what is strictly necessary for website operation.
- Retaining server logs for no longer than 30 days.
- Ensuring third-party services (e.g., analytics providers) are GDPR-compliant.
- Not selling, sharing, or disclosing personal data to third parties for commercial purposes.
Data We Process
Any personal data we process is limited to:
- IP addresses (anonymised where possible)
- Browser and device information
- Pages visited and time spent on site
- Referral sources
This data is collected automatically via cookies and server logs, and is not linked to any individual’s identity unless voluntarily provided through a contact form.
Legal Basis for Processing
Our processing of personal data is based on legitimate interest under Article 6(1)(f) UK GDPR, specifically:
- Ensuring website security and performance
- Improving user experience through analytics
- Maintaining operational integrity
We conduct regular assessments to ensure our interests do not override your rights and freedoms.

Response Timeframes
We aim to respond to all requests within one month of receipt. If your request is complex or numerous, we may extend this period by a further two months, and we will notify you within one month of receipt.
No Discrimination Policy
