UK GDPR Compliance

Thunder Runners is 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 what data we process as an informational blog website.

Scope and Applicability

The UK GDPR applies to the processing of personal data of individuals in the United Kingdom. While Thunder Runners does not collect personal information through registration or accounts, we may process limited personal data automatically through website analytics, cookies, and server logs. This page outlines how we handle such data in compliance with UK GDPR.

Your Rights Under UK GDPR

Under the UK GDPR, you have the following rights:

• Right of access – You can request confirmation of whether we process your personal data and receive a copy of that data.
• Right to rectification – You may request correction of any inaccurate or incomplete personal data we hold about you.
• 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 how we use your personal 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 our processing of your data based on legitimate interests, including profiling or direct marketing.

How We Comply

As an informational blog with no user registration or database storage, Thunder Runners minimises data collection to what is strictly necessary. We use only essential first-party analytics and cookies to understand site traffic and improve user experience. We do not sell, share, or disclose personal data to third parties for commercial purposes. All data is retained only for as long as necessary and securely disposed of when no longer required.

Data We Process

Under UK GDPR, the personal data we may automatically collect includes:

• IP addresses (anonymised where possible)
• Browser type and device information
• Pages visited and time spent on site
• Cookie identifiers for analytics purposes

This data is collected solely to enhance site functionality and is not linked to any individual identity.

Legal Basis for Processing

Our processing of personal data is based on legitimate interest under Article 6(1)(f) of the UK GDPR. This includes improving website performance, ensuring technical functionality, and analysing user engagement to deliver relevant content. We balance this interest against your rights and freedoms, and we do not process data for purposes beyond these legitimate interests.

How to Exercise Your Rights

To exercise any of your rights under UK GDPR, please contact us by email at [email protected]. Include your full name, the specific right you wish to exercise, and any relevant details (e.g., email address used on the site). We will respond without undue delay and within one month.

Response Timeframes

We are required by UK GDPR to respond to your requests within one month of receipt. In complex cases, we may extend this to three months and will notify you if this occurs. We will always provide a reason for any delay.

No Discrimination Policy

Thunder Runners does not and will not discriminate against you for exercising your rights under UK GDPR. You will not be denied access to content, services, or features of the website because you have made a data protection request.

Updates and Changes

We may update this UK GDPR Compliance page from time to time to reflect changes in law or our practices. Any updates will be posted on this page with a revised effective date. We recommend reviewing this page periodically.
