Privacy Policy
Last updated: 28 August 2026
Daevilmedia is operated by Phil Battye, a sole trader based in the United Kingdom.
This Privacy Policy explains how Daevilmedia collects, uses, stores and protects personal information when you use this website.
1. Who we are
For the purposes of UK data protection law, the data controller is:
Phil Battye trading as Daevilmedia
Email: phil@daevilmedia.com
2. What personal information we collect
Daevilmedia currently collects personal information only when you choose to provide it through the website contact form.
This may include:
- your name
- your email address
- the subject of your enquiry
- the contents of your message
The website may also automatically generate limited technical information through normal server operation, such as IP addresses, browser information, timestamps and security logs.
3. How we collect your information
We may collect information when you:
- submit the contact form
- email Daevilmedia directly
- interact with the website in a way that generates technical or security logs
Contact form submissions are sent by email to phil@daevilmedia.com and are not intentionally stored within the WordPress website database.
4. How we use your information
We use personal information only where necessary for legitimate purposes, including:
- responding to enquiries
- communicating with people who contact Daevilmedia
- dealing with complaints, corrections or requests
- protecting the security and integrity of the website
- keeping appropriate records where necessary
- complying with legal obligations
We do not currently use contact form information for marketing or newsletters.
5. Our lawful basis for processing
Under UK GDPR, we rely primarily on the following lawful bases:
Legitimate interests
Where processing is necessary to operate Daevilmedia, respond to enquiries, maintain website security or manage communications.
Legal obligation
Where we are required to retain, disclose or process information in order to comply with the law.
Consent
Where you have specifically agreed to a particular use of your information.
6. How long we keep your information
Ordinary contact enquiries will normally be retained for up to 12 months after the enquiry has been resolved.
Information may be kept for longer where reasonably necessary for:
- legal claims or disputes
- safeguarding matters
- complaints or corrections
- regulatory requirements
- security or fraud prevention
We do not keep personal information longer than is reasonably necessary.
7. Who we may share information with
We do not sell personal information.
Personal information may be processed or shared with service providers where necessary to operate the website and email systems.
These may include:
- website hosting providers
- email providers
- WordPress and website service providers
- SMTP/email delivery services
- security and infrastructure providers
We may also disclose information where required by law or where necessary to protect legal rights, prevent harm, investigate wrongdoing or cooperate with lawful authorities.
8. Email and contact form processing
Messages submitted through the website contact form are sent to Daevilmedia by email.
Daevilmedia currently uses third-party email infrastructure, including Gmail and SMTP services, to receive and send email.
As a result, personal information contained within emails may be processed by those service providers in accordance with their own privacy and security arrangements.
9. Donations
The website may contain links allowing users to make voluntary contributions through Revolut.
Daevilmedia does not directly process or store your full payment-card details.
Payment information is processed by Revolut under its own privacy policy and terms.
Daevilmedia may receive limited information relating to a contribution, such as the amount, date, payer name or transaction reference.
10. Cookies and technical information
The website may use cookies or similar technologies that are necessary for website functionality, security or WordPress operation.
If non-essential cookies, analytics, advertising technologies or tracking tools are introduced in the future, this Privacy Policy and the website’s Cookie Policy will be updated as necessary.
11. Links to other websites
Daevilmedia may link to third-party websites, social media platforms or services.
We are not responsible for the privacy practices, security or content of third-party websites.
You should review the privacy information provided by those services before providing personal information.
12. Children’s information
Daevilmedia provides information and resources relating to child safety.
The website is not currently designed to collect personal information directly from children.
Users should not submit unnecessary personal information about children through the general contact form.
If Daevilmedia introduces reporting, evidence-upload or safeguarding-submission systems in the future, additional privacy information will be provided.
13. Security
We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect personal information against:
- unauthorised access
- loss
- misuse
- alteration
- disclosure
However, no internet-based system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
14. Your data protection rights
Under UK data protection law, you may have rights including:
- the right to be informed about how your information is used
- the right to access personal information held about you
- the right to request correction of inaccurate information
