Privacy Policy

This policy explains what personal data Starnook collects, why, and what your rights are. Starnook is run by Starnook, the “data controller” for the purposes of UK data protection law.

What we collect

We keep the personal data we collect to a minimum. Specifically:

Contact form. If you message us, we collect your name, email address, and whatever you write, so we can reply.

Newsletter. If you sign up, we collect your email address so we can send you updates. You can unsubscribe at any time.

Analytics. We use Google Analytics (GA4) to understand how the site is used. This collects information such as the pages you visit, your approximate location, device and browser, via cookies. It helps us improve the site.

The information we publish about the properties we list is public business information about those places — it isn’t your personal data and isn’t covered by this policy.

Why we can use it (legal basis)

We rely on your consent for the newsletter and for analytics cookies — you can withdraw it at any time. For replying to your messages, we rely on our legitimate interest in responding to enquiries.

Who we share it with

We don’t sell your data. We share it only with the services that help us run the site:

Google Analytics — for site analytics (Google Ireland/LLC).

Cookies

We use cookies for analytics (Google Analytics). You can control cookies through the consent options on the site and through your browser settings. Blocking analytics cookies won’t stop the site working.

How long we keep it

We keep contact messages only as long as needed to deal with your enquiry and a reasonable period after. We keep newsletter subscriptions until you unsubscribe. Analytics data is retained according to our Google Analytics settings.

Your rights

Under UK data protection law you have the right to access the data we hold about you, to ask us to correct or delete it, to object to or restrict how we use it, and to withdraw consent at any time. To exercise any of these, just contact us. You also have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office (ico.org.uk).

Changes

We may update this policy from time to time. The current version always lives on this page, with the date it was last updated shown at the top.
