Who We Are
Our website address is: https://www.solarboss.co.uk.
SolarBoss or Solar Boss refers to us.
The GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) is a serious business, and we’re switched on to its requirements. We’re not in the business of letting your data get dimmer—we process it lawfully, fairly, and transparently, making sure it’s only used for specified, legitimate purposes. We’ll only ever collect what’s necessary and keep it up to date, so you can rest assured your information is in bright, shiny, clean hands.
Comments
When you leave a comment on our site, we collect the information you provide, plus your IP address and browser info. This isn’t us being nosey, it’s just to help us keep the spam at bay. An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. After your comment is approved, your profile picture will be visible to the public alongside it.
Media
If you upload images to the website, please don’t let them be too revealing! Avoid including location data (EXIF GPS) in them, as others might be able to download and see where the picture was taken.
Cookies
If you leave a comment on our site you may opt-in to saving your name, email address and website in cookies. It’s a little like remembering your favourite snack—it’s just for your convenience so you don’t have to re-enter your details next time. These cookies will last for one year. When you log in, we’ll also use cookies to remember you, which is a great way to make sure you’re always feeling at home on our site. Don’t worry, these aren’t the kind of cookies you have to feel guilty about!
Embedded content from other websites
Sometimes, we include content like videos or articles from other websites. When you interact with this content, it’s just as if you visited that site directly. They may have their own tracking, so it’s always a good idea to be aware of their privacy policies.
Who we share your data with
We don’t share your data with anyone else, unless it’s for a specific purpose, like including your IP address when you request a password reset.
How long we retain your data
Your comments and user profile information are saved indefinitely so that we can easily approve your future comments and keep things running smoothly. You’re welcome to ask us to erase your personal data at any time, unless we have to keep it for administrative, legal, or security reasons. We don’t want to get in trouble with the law, you know!
