This notice explains what personal data Gastric Amp collects through this website, why, and what you can do about it. It covers this site only.
Who we are
Gastric Amp is a music production and publishing house based in Brighton and Hove, United Kingdom. Gastric Amp is a trading name of Craig Stamp, a sole trader, and for data protection purposes the data controller is Craig Stamp.
For anything in this notice, or to make a request about your data, email info@gastricamp.uk.
What we collect, and when
When you contact us
If you email or call using the details on this site, we receive whatever you choose to send: typically your name, your email address or phone number, and the content of your message. There is no contact form on this site, so nothing is collected unless you get in touch yourself.
Analytics
Analytics is not currently switched on. No analytics cookies are set on this site at present, and no data is sent to Google. The rest of this section describes what happens if and when analytics is enabled, at which point you will be asked to choose before anything loads.
If you accept analytics cookies, we use Google Analytics 4 to count visits and see which pages are read. It tells us things like which pages are popular, roughly which country visitors are in, and whether they arrived from search or a link. IP addresses are anonymised. We do not use it for advertising, and advertising storage is switched off regardless of what you choose.
If you decline, Google Analytics is never loaded and no analytics cookies are set.
Hosting and security
This site is served through Cloudflare, which processes technical information such as IP address and browser type in order to deliver pages and protect the site from attacks. This happens for every visitor, is necessary for the site to function safely, and is not used to build a profile of you.
Cookies
Until you accept analytics, this site sets no cookies at all. Your choice itself is stored in your browser's local storage rather than a cookie, so recording a refusal does not require setting the thing you refused.
| Name | Set by | Purpose | Expires |
|---|---|---|---|
_ga |
Google Analytics | Distinguishes one visitor from another so visits can be counted. Only set if you accept. | 2 years |
_ga_* |
Google Analytics | Keeps track of a single visit. Only set if you accept. | 2 years |
gastricamp-consent |
This site | Local storage, not a cookie. Remembers whether you accepted or declined. | Until you clear your browser data |
You can change your mind at any time: Analytics is not currently switched on for this site, so there is nothing to review.
Why we are allowed to do this
- Replying to your enquiry - legitimate interests. You contacted us, so you expect a reply.
- Analytics cookies - consent. You choose, and you can withdraw it whenever you like.
- Keeping the site up and secure - legitimate interests in running a working, protected website.
- Records of work and payment - legal obligation, where tax or accounting rules require us to keep them.
Who else sees it
We do not sell personal data, and we do not share it for anyone else's marketing. Data passes through these service providers so the site and our email can work:
| Provider | What for |
|---|---|
| Cloudflare, Inc. | Hosting, content delivery and security for this website |
| Freeola | Email hosting for our @gastricamp.uk address |
| Google Analytics, only where you have accepted analytics cookies |
Data leaving the UK
Cloudflare and Google are US-headquartered and may process data outside the UK. Where that happens, transfers are covered by the safeguards UK data protection law requires, such as the UK International Data Transfer Addendum or the UK Extension to the EU-US Data Privacy Framework.
How long we keep it
- Enquiry emails: kept only as long as needed to deal with your enquiry and any work arising from it, then deleted.
- Financial and client records: six years, in line with UK tax and accounting requirements.
- Analytics data: none held at present. If analytics is enabled, the retention period set on the Google Analytics property will be stated here.
Your rights
Under UK data protection law you can ask us to:
- give you a copy of the personal data we hold about you
- correct anything that is wrong
- delete it, where we have no reason to keep it
- restrict or object to how we use it, including anything based on legitimate interests
- transfer it to you or another provider, where that applies
- withdraw consent for analytics, at any time, without affecting anything done before
Email info@gastricamp.uk and we will respond within one month. There is no charge.
Complaints
If you think we have handled your data badly, please tell us first so we can put it right. You also have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner's Office, the UK regulator, at ico.org.uk/make-a-complaint or on 0303 123 1113.
Changes
If this notice changes we will update the date at the top. Significant changes to how we use analytics will mean asking for your consent again.
