At TechSavvy Hans, we are committed to protecting your personal data in accordance with the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR). This page explains how we comply with your rights under UK GDPR and the data processing activities relevant to our informational website.
Scope and Applicability
The UK GDPR applies to the processing of personal data of individuals in the United Kingdom. While TechSavvy Hans does not collect personal data through user registration or databases, we may process limited personal data automatically through website analytics, server logs, and cookies for statistical and operational purposes. This compliance page outlines how we handle such data in line with UK GDPR requirements.

You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO), the UK’s supervisory authority for data protection.

No personally identifiable information such as names, emails, or phone numbers is collected unless voluntarily submitted via our contact form.
Legal Basis for Processing
Our processing of personal data is based on the following lawful grounds under UK GDPR:
- Legitimate interests: For website functionality, security, and analytics to improve user experience.
- Consent: For non-essential cookies, we obtain explicit consent via our cookie banner.
We do not process special category data (e.g., health, race, religion) under any circumstance.
