Xyrmus is an independent educational resource presenting content on dietary principles and nutritional science. We are committed to transparency regarding data and privacy.

This policy is drafted in accordance with the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018.

3. What Information We Collect

3.1 Personal Data

Xyrmus does not actively collect, store, or process personal data for commercial purposes. Specifically:

• We do not require users to register or create accounts.
• We do not track individuals across websites for advertising purposes.
• We do not sell, share, or transfer personal data to third parties for marketing.

3.2 Contact Form Submissions

This website includes a contact form for general content enquiries. The form is structured as a static HTML form that redirects to a thank-you page upon submission. It does not transmit, store, or process any data entered by the user in a backend system. Any enquiry submitted is not retained by us in any database or file system.

3.3 Automatically Collected Technical Information

As with most websites, basic technical information may be retained in server logs, including IP addresses, browser type, pages accessed, and timestamps. This information is retained solely for the operational purposes of serving the website and is not associated with individual identities or used for profiling.

4. Cookies

Xyrmus uses only strictly necessary cookies. No tracking, analytical, or advertising cookies are deployed. For a full explanation of our cookie use, please refer to our Cookie Policy.

5. Legal Basis for Processing

Where any technical data processing occurs in connection with your visit (e.g., standard server logs), the legal basis is our legitimate interest in maintaining the operational security and stability of this website. No personal data is processed on the basis of consent for commercial purposes.

6. Data Retention

Technical server log data is retained only for as long as necessary for operational purposes, typically not exceeding 30 days, after which it is deleted. No personal data submitted via any form on this site is retained in any permanent system.

7. Your Rights Under UK GDPR

As a data subject, you have the following rights under the UK GDPR:

• The right to be informed about how your data is used
• The right of access to any data held about you
• The right to rectification of inaccurate data
• The right to erasure ("right to be forgotten")
• The right to restrict processing
• The right to data portability
• The right to object to processing

Given that Xyrmus does not store personal data, the exercise of most of these rights will not be applicable in practice. However, you may direct any data-related enquiries to [email protected].
