Privacy Policy

1. Data we may collect

The information processed through this website may include browser type, device category, page views, language preferences, cookie consent status, and form information that a visitor chooses to submit through the site interface. Tool calculations run in the browser and are not intended to create a personal profile.

2. Why we process data

We process technical and usage data to operate the website, understand whether pages load correctly, improve clarity of the tools, measure broad audience behaviour, and maintain security monitoring. Where consent is required for non-essential cookies, those cookies should only operate after acceptance.

3. Lawful bases

• Legitimate interests for essential website security, diagnostics, and performance monitoring.
• Consent for optional analytics or cookie-based features that are not strictly necessary.
• Contractual necessity where a visitor actively requests a service through a site form.

4. Cookies and similar technologies

BarFlow may store a small local preference indicating whether the cookie banner has been dismissed. Additional analytics cookies, where used, should be configured to collect aggregated information rather than detailed personal histories. Cookies can be blocked or removed through browser settings, though some interface preferences may reset.

5. Retention periods

Operational logs and technical diagnostics are retained only for as long as necessary to investigate faults, monitor abuse, or maintain service continuity. Form submissions, when provided by a visitor, should be reviewed periodically and removed when the original purpose has been completed unless a longer retention period is required by law.

6. Sharing of information

We may rely on infrastructure, hosting, analytics, or security vendors to support the website. These providers should only receive information necessary to perform their role and are expected to apply appropriate confidentiality and security measures. We do not sell visitor data.

7. International transfers

Where service providers operate outside a visitor's home jurisdiction, data transfers may take place under recognised contractual safeguards or equivalent legal mechanisms designed to protect personal information.

8. Your rights

Depending on the applicable law, visitors may have rights to access, correct, erase, restrict, object to processing, or receive a copy of personal data in a portable format. Visitors may also withdraw consent where processing depends on consent.

9. Security measures

BarFlow applies reasonable administrative and technical controls to reduce the risk of unauthorised access, disclosure, or misuse. No internet service can guarantee absolute security, so visitors should avoid submitting unnecessary sensitive information through any public form.

10. Policy updates

We may revise this policy when operational, legal, or technical requirements change. Material updates should be reflected on this page so visitors can review the current version before continuing to use the site.
