PRIVACY PROTOCOL

Last Updated: 31 January 2026

Ben Ford Media ("we," "us," or "our") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you visit our website https://benford-media.co.uk (the "Site"). Please read this privacy policy carefully. If you do not agree with the terms of this privacy policy, please do not access the site.

1. DATA COLLECTION

We may collect information about you in a variety of ways. The information we may collect on the Site includes:

• Personal Data: Personally identifiable information, such as your name, email address, and company URL, that you voluntarily give to us when you fill out our contact form.
• Derivative Data: Information our servers automatically collect when you access the Site, such as your IP address, your browser type, your operating system, your access times, and the pages you have viewed directly before and after accessing the Site. This data is used for analytics and performance monitoring and is anonymized where possible.
• Cookies: We use cookies to help customize the Site and improve your experience. Our use is limited to essential functionality (like remembering you've accepted the cookie policy) and performance analytics.

2. USE OF YOUR INFORMATION

Having accurate information about you permits us to provide you with a smooth, efficient, and customized experience. Specifically, we may use information collected about you via the Site to:

• Respond to your direct inquiries for a service audit or project briefing.
• Deliver the services you have contracted from us.
• Monitor and analyze usage and trends to improve the operational efficiency and security of the Site.

3. DISCLOSURE OF YOUR INFORMATION

We do not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer your personally identifiable information to outside parties. This does not include trusted third-party service providers (e.g., hosting providers) who assist us in operating our infrastructure, so long as those parties agree to keep this information confidential and secure. We may also release your information when we believe release is appropriate to comply with the law or protect ours or others' rights, property, or safety.

4. DATA SECURITY

We implement military-grade administrative, technical, and physical security measures to help protect your personal information. Our websites are built on a "solid-state" principle, reducing attack vectors by eliminating databases and unnecessary plugins. While we have taken extensive steps to secure the personal information you provide, no security measure is impenetrable, and no method of data transmission can be guaranteed against all interception.

5. YOUR DATA RIGHTS (UK GDPR)

• Right of access: You have the right to ask us for copies of your personal information.

• Right to erasure: You have the right to ask us to erase your personal information in certain circumstances.
