UK GDPR Compliance

PPE Lessons - Safety Education Portal is committed to respecting your rights under the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR). This page explains how we comply with your data protection rights as a user of our informational website.

Introduction

The UK GDPR is the primary data protection law in the United Kingdom, governing how personal data is collected, used, and protected. As an informational website offering educational resources on personal protective equipment (PPE), we process minimal personal data and fully adhere to the principles and rights outlined in the UK GDPR.

Scope and Applicability

This compliance page applies to all visitors accessing PPE Lessons from the United Kingdom. Although we do not require registration or collect personal data through forms, we may process limited personal data via cookies and server logs for analytical purposes, which falls within the scope of the UK GDPR.

Your Rights Under UK GDPR

Under the UK GDPR, you have the following rights:

• Right of access: You may request confirmation of whether we hold any of your personal data and receive a copy of it.
• Right to rectification: You may request correction of any inaccurate or incomplete personal data we hold about you.
• Right to erasure: You may request deletion of your personal data, where applicable.
• Right to restrict processing: You may request we limit how we use your data under certain conditions.
• Right to data portability: You may request your data in a structured, commonly used format.
• Right to object: You may object to our processing of your data based on legitimate interests.
• Right not to be subject to automated decision-making: We do not use automated decision-making or profiling.

How We Comply

PPE Lessons does not maintain user accounts, collect personal data through registration, or store identifiable information in databases. Any data collected — such as IP addresses or cookie identifiers — is used solely for anonymised analytics to improve website performance and user experience. We do not share this data with third parties for marketing purposes. All processing is conducted lawfully, fairly, and transparently in accordance with UK GDPR principles.

Data We Process

Under UK GDPR, the only personal data we may process includes:

• IP addresses (anonymised via server logs)
• Cookies and similar tracking technologies (for analytics only, no profiling)
• Browser type and device information (aggregated, not individually identifiable)

This data is not linked to any individual’s name, email, or contact details.

Legal Basis for Processing

Our processing of personal data is based on legitimate interest — specifically, the need to understand how users interact with our educational content to improve website functionality and user experience. We have conducted a Legitimate Interest Assessment (LIA) and determined that our processing is proportionate, minimal, and does not override your rights and freedoms.

Response Timeframes

We are required by UK GDPR to respond to your request within one month of receipt. In complex cases, we may extend this to three months and will notify you if this occurs.

No Discrimination Policy

You will not be denied access to our services, charged fees, or receive different treatment because you exercise your rights under UK GDPR. Our educational resources remain freely available to all users regardless of data protection choices.
