Privacy Policy

Last updated: March 2026

Fothringham Estate is committed to protecting your privacy. This policy explains what personal data we collect, why we collect it, and how we handle it.

Who we are

Fothringham Estate is a family-owned working estate in Angus, Scotland. For the purposes of data protection law, Fothringham Estate is the data controller. Our contact email address is office@fothringham.co.uk.

What data we collect

When you use the contact form on our website, we collect the following information:

• Your name
• Your email address
• The subject of your enquiry
• Your message

We do not collect any data from you beyond what you submit through the contact form. We do not use cookies for tracking or advertising purposes.

Why we collect it

We collect this information solely to respond to your enquiry. The lawful basis for processing your data is legitimate interest — you have contacted us and we need your details in order to reply.

How we store and process your data

Our website is hosted by Netlify, Inc., a company based in San Francisco, USA. When you submit the contact form, your data is processed by Netlify on our behalf. Netlify acts as a data processor and we remain the data controller.

Netlify complies with the GDPR and the UK GDPR. You can read their privacy policy at netlify.com/privacy and their GDPR commitments at netlify.com/gdpr-ccpa.

As your data is processed by Netlify in the United States, it may be transferred outside the United Kingdom. Netlify maintains appropriate safeguards for such transfers as described in their Data Processing Agreement.

How long we keep your data

We keep contact form submissions only for as long as is necessary to deal with your enquiry. We regularly review and delete submissions that are no longer needed.

Who we share your data with

We do not share your personal data with any third parties, other than Netlify as described above. We will never sell your data.

Your rights

Under UK data protection law, you have the right to:

• Request a copy of the personal data we hold about you
• Ask us to correct any inaccurate data
• Ask us to delete your data
• Object to the processing of your data

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at office@fothringham.co.uk.

If you are unhappy with how we have handled your data, you have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) at ico.org.uk.

We may update this privacy policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page.
