This privacy policy sets out how Bigfork Limited uses the information that we gather from this website.

We care about your privacy because we’ve seen what happens when information falls into the wrong hands. With this in mind, we do our best to look after any information you provide and promise to only use it for its intended purpose and in accordance with this privacy policy. Should anything change on our website we may have to update this page, please visit it every day just in case.

What do we do with your data?

The full list is available on request from data@bigfork.co.uk, we reserve the right to only provide this list to potential, current or previous customers of Bigfork.

Are cookies telling you all about me?

No. We use Google Analytics on our website to gather anonymous data about website usage. This doesn’t tell us who you are or what your favourite colour is. It merely informs us, as an overview, which pages people like to look at and what particular bits of the website tend to gain the most interest. We then compare this data to our website plan and issue high-fives around the office when it matches up.

We also use LinkedIn Insights, this does track your IP address which falls into the category of personal data. You can find out more about this from LinkedIn (tl;dr you can opt out from your LinkedIn Ads preferences and/or delete and block the cookie).

Can I find out what you know about me?

You have the right to access any information we hold on you, email data@bigfork.co.uk and we'll trawl the archives.

I don’t want to hear from you anymore

If it’s email newsletters clogging up your inbox then you can find an unsubscribe link at the bottom of the message. Note that we have to retain a record of your email address so that we know not to email you.

For anything else, including “forgetting” you, please email data@bigfork.co.uk with your request.

Related links

While on your website, I clicked on a link to another website, filled in an enquiry form, and they emailed me without my consent!

Unfortunately, our privacy policy and compliance only extends to Bigfork Limited and this website. Links to external websites are provided for your convenience, how these other websites behave is beyond our control and you’ll need to take this up whoever is disrespecting your data.

I wish to exercise my right to complain

If it is Bigfork that have disrespected your data, then we apologise. Please email us at data@bigfork.co.uk with details and we’ll make things right.  If you are not satisfied with our response or believe we’re breaking the law like Judas Priest, you can contact the Information Commissioner’s Office.
