Website privacy policy
Data collection and use
This page explains how I, Izzy with Lake District Grazers, process and manage personal data. I collect, process and retain basic data for use in setting up a grazing agreement with landowners. As the holder of this data, I take my responsibilities in relation to data protection very seriously, and am committed to placing the rights of individuals at the centre of how personal information is collected, held and processed.
I will only retain personal data for so long as it is required to meet the purposes set out in this privacy policy.
You have a number of rights in relation to your personal information and the opportunity to choose how it is used. You can:
- Obtain copies of the personal information I hold about you (known as a “subject access request”)
- Request that I correct or update personal information I hold about you
- Ask that I erase or restrict the way in which I use your information. This includes asking that I do not process information relating to your political opinions.
- Request that personal information you have given your consent for the me to use is provided in an electronic format so it can be transferred to another data controller (also known as “data portability”)
Data is collected via this website when you complete the contact form. This is your contact name, phone number and email. All information collected is kept on a secure drive protected by password and kept in a private property. You can withdraw your consent to me keeping any data on you at any time.
If you are interested in exploring hosting my stock on your land, I also collect and analyse a range of other information about you, your property and the area in which you live, including the location and size of your land, its condition and uses, grass and plant varieties, geographical features, elements of special interest, planning restrictions, etc.
If we go ahead with a grazing agreement, the data collected is analysed and used in a variety of ways, and also combined (sometimes referred to as “profiling”), in order to:
- make the best arrangement for grazing that will best suit your land, the sward, your own plans and lifestyle, the needs of the animals and any other factors
- contact on your behalf any relevant agencies
- register for movement orders etc
- provide the best environment for our animals with their welfare in mind
- understand what issues are most likely to be relevant to each landowner in each different area
- allow me to plan ahead
