Statistics/Performance Cookies and Marketing Cookies
We use the LinkedIn Insights Tag to understand how LinkedIn users use the website. LinkedIn gathers information about website use by means of cookies. The information gathered is used to create reports about how LinkedIn members use the website.
These cookies are opt-in and no data is shared with LinkedIn until consent to receive marketing cookies is given.
Embedded content from other websites
Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.
These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.
If you have not accepted cookies, we use technical measures to block embedded content from loading.
Analytics
Umami Analytics
The analytics platform used on this website collects data about your use of this website. Umami Analytics is a privacy-focused solution, which does not collect any personally identifiable information. All data collected is anonymised; users cannot be identified and are never tracked across websites. Analytics data is processed on the basis of our legitimate interest in monitoring and improving our website.
LinkedIn Insight Tag
This website also implements the LinkedIn Insight Tag, which enables the collection of data regarding LinkedIn members’ visits to this website, including the pages viewed, referrer, IP address, device and browser characteristics, and timestamp. The IP addresses are truncated or hashed, and LinkedIn members’ direct identifiers are removed from LinkedIn’s data set within seven days in order to make the data pseudonymous. The remaining pseudonymised data is then deleted within 180 days.
LinkedIn does not share the personal data with Rockthorpe Limited, it only provides reports (which do not identify visitors) about the website audience and ad performance. LinkedIn also provides retargeting for website visitors, enabling Rockthorpe Limited to show personalised ads using this data, but without identifying LinkedIn members. LinkedIn members can control the use of their personal data for advertising purposes through their account settings.
This data is processed on the basis of consent. No data is shared with LinkedIn until consent is given.
Who we share your data with
Personal data submitted through this website will be held by Rockthorpe Limited (the data controller) and may, where relevant, be processed by the company’s nominated data processors within and outside of the European Union.
For the purposes of fraud detection, your IP address may be checked against known blacklists held by third parties. This data is processed on the basis of our legitimate interest in preventing fraud and other illegal activities.
Enquiries relating to cyber security services may be shared with our cyber security partner consultancy/ies for the purpose of responding to the enquiry and/or producing a quote.
How long we retain your data
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognise and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
For users that register on our website, we store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (usernames cannot be changed). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.
Legitimate enquiries submitted via the contact form will be retained for a period of two full financial years.
What rights you have over your data
If you have an account on this site, or have left comments, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

Additional information
How we protect your data
We only collect the personal data we need for our specified purposes. We periodically review the data we hold, and erase or anonymise personal data when we no longer need it.
If we plan to use personal data for a new purpose other than a legal obligation or function set out in law, we check that this is compatible with our original purpose and, if not, will request specific consent for the new purpose.
We have appropriate processes in place to comply with individuals’ requests for erasure under ‘the right to be forgotten’.
We consider data protection issues as part of the design and implementation of systems, services, products and business practices. We make data protection an essential component of the core functionality of our processing systems and services.
We only use data processors that provide sufficient guarantees of their technical and organisational measures for data protection by design. When we use other systems, services or products in our processing activities, we make sure that we only use those whose designers and manufacturers take data protection issues into account.
What data breach procedures we have in place
Rockthorpe Limited has procedures in place to identify if a personal data breach occurs. We have a response plan for addressing personal data breaches that do occur and have allocated responsibility for managing breaches to a dedicated person.
