Virtual Precision is committed to safeguarding your privacy. We believe in total transparency and keeping your data secure. If you have any questions regarding your Personal Data, you can reach us directly at privacy[@]virtualprecision.co.uk.

By using this site and our services, you agree to the processing of your Personal Data as outlined in this policy.

1. Data Protection Principles & Your Rights

We strictly adhere to UK data protection laws. This means our data processing is always lawful, fair, and limited only to the minimal data required to run our business or improve your experience. We never store your data longer than needed, and we will never sell or share your data with strangers. Period.

Under the law, you hold the following rights regarding your data:

  • Right to Access & Portability: You can request a copy of the personal data we hold about you at any time.
  • Right to Rectification & Erasure: You can ask us to correct inaccurate information or completely delete your data from our systems.
  • Right to Withdraw Consent: You can change your mind and opt out of any tracking or marketing consent you previously gave us.

2. The Cookies We Use

Like almost all modern websites, we use cookies (small text files placed on your device) to make our site function efficiently and to understand how visitors interact with our content.

We do not use cookies to collect sensitive personal information without your permission, nor do we pass your data to aggressive advertising networks.

How We Group Our Cookies:

  • Necessary Cookies: Essential for the website to load securely, protect against cyber attacks, or handle core functionalities. These cannot be switched off because the site would break.
  • Analytics Cookies: These help us count visitors and see which blog posts are performing well. They collect data anonymously. We only activate these if you explicitly give us permission via our cookie banner.
  • Functional/Third-Party Cookies: Set by trusted external tools embedded on our site (like social sharing buttons) to ensure their features work seamlessly when you interact with them.

3. Third-Party Services & Active Plugins

To keep our business running safely and smoothly, we utilize a streamlined selection of trusted WordPress plugins and processing partners. Here is exactly what data they interact with:

  • SiteGround (Hosting & Security Optimizer): Our secure web hosting provider. We use the Security Optimizer plugin to monitor for compromised logins, manage site-level encryption, and automatically defend against data leaks.
  • Wordfence Security: Our 24/7 cyber security firewall and malware scanner. It tracks visitor IP addresses specifically to identify, log, and block brute-force hacker attacks and malicious exploits.
  • Kit (formerly ConvertKit): Handles our newsletters and sign-up forms. If you choose to join our mailing list, your name and email are securely stored here. All forms are fully compliant, and you can unsubscribe with a single click at any time.
  • Site Kit by Google: Connects our website natively to Google Analytics 4. It enables us to see aggregate, anonymous traffic trends (like which blog posts are popular) without providing us with any personal identifiable tracking data.
  • Akismet Anti-Spam: Our automated comment and form defense. If you submit an inquiry or leave a comment, Akismet safely processes the submission data (IP address, name, email) purely to block malicious spam bots.
  • Contact Form 7: A simple, lightweight contact form plugin. It collects the basic information you type into our message boxes (such as your name, email, and inquiry details) so we can correspond with you directly.
  • The GDPR Framework (by Data443): Provides the specific tools running at the bottom of this page that allow you to manage your data privacy settings automatically.
  • All in One SEO / Redirection / Classic Editor / White Label: These are internal administrative and design tools used to format our layout, manage 301 redirects, handle metadata, and build clean sitemaps. They do not collect, track, or share any personal visitor data.

4. How We Secure Your Data

We do everything humanly and technically possible to keep your details safe. We enforce encrypted HTTPS protocols across our entire site, monitor vulnerabilities around the clock using the combined forces of SiteGround Security Optimizer and Wordfence, and will immediately notify the relevant supervisory authorities and you directly in the highly unlikely event of a security breach.

5. Take Control of Your Data (Privacy Tools)

Powered by The GDPR Framework, we want you to feel completely empowered over your data imprint. If you have previously interacted with this site, left a comment, or filled out a form, you can manage your data instantly via our privacy tools:

  • Download Your Data: Use the secure request tool on our Privacy page to instantly export any personal data associated with your email address in a clean, machine-readable HTML or JSON format.
  • Delete or Anonymise Your Data: You can use our automated dashboard buttons to request a full wipe or anonymisation of your user details from our comment databases, requiring zero manual admin intervention from us.
  • Direct Requests: For active or past clients whose contact history sits outside the standard comment database, simply email us at privacy[@]virtualprecision.co.uk and we will gladly purge your client communication history upon request.

Please identify yourself via e-mail
