This notice explains how ECOMOVE UK Limited, the publisher of Robot Harbour, handles personal information connected with this website.
Who we are
Robot Harbour is a publication of ECOMOVE UK Limited, a company established in the United Kingdom. ECOMOVE UK Limited is the data controller for personal information collected through Robot Harbour. Privacy enquiries and data-rights requests may be submitted through the Contact page.
Information we may collect
- Information you provide: your name, email address, subject and message when you use the contact form, and any information you choose to include in your enquiry. A future newsletter signup may collect your email address and consent record.
- Technical information: IP address, browser and device information, timestamps, requested pages and security logs generated when you use the website.
- Communication records: correspondence, correction requests and industry submissions sent to Robot Harbour.
- Consent records: the date, source and wording connected with a newsletter subscription or cookie preference.
The contact form is active during private development. Contact enquiries are delivered to the Robot Harbour editorial team by email; a separate searchable copy is not retained inside the website. Newsletter subscriptions are not currently being collected.
Why we use personal information
We may use personal information to operate and secure the website, respond to enquiries, assess corrections and source material, manage newsletter subscriptions, keep evidence of consent, prevent abuse and comply with legal obligations.
Depending on the activity, our lawful basis may be your consent, our legitimate interests in publishing and protecting Robot Harbour, steps connected with a contract, or compliance with a legal obligation. Where we rely on consent, you may withdraw it at any time.
Cookies and embedded services
WordPress, our hosting provider and security services may use essential cookies or similar technologies for security, administration and site operation. Non-essential analytics, marketing or optional embedded services will not be activated without the appropriate notice and choice.
Pages may contain content or tools supplied by third parties, including TradingView market-data widgets and media from robotics manufacturers. Optional TradingView widgets are loaded only after a visitor chooses to allow external market data. Third-party services may receive technical information, set their own cookies or process interactions according to their own privacy policies. Loading an external resource can be similar to visiting that provider directly.
Who receives information
Information may be processed by service providers that support hosting, security, email delivery, website administration and analytics, as well as professional advisers or public authorities where disclosure is legally required. Providers receive only the information reasonably necessary for their role and are expected to protect it appropriately.
International transfers
Some technology providers may process information outside the United Kingdom. Where UK data-protection law requires safeguards, we will use an approved transfer mechanism or another lawful basis for the transfer.
How long we keep information
We retain personal information only for as long as it is needed for the relevant purpose, including responding to correspondence, maintaining accurate editorial and consent records, meeting legal requirements and resolving disputes. Security logs are retained for a limited period appropriate to detecting and investigating abuse. When information is no longer required, it is deleted or anonymised.
Your rights
Depending on the circumstances, you may have rights to be informed, obtain access, correct inaccurate information, request erasure or restriction, object to processing and receive information in a portable form. You may also withdraw consent where consent is the lawful basis. Some rights are subject to legal limitations.
To exercise a right, use the Contact page. We may need to verify your identity before acting on a request.
Complaints
Please contact us first if you have a concern. You also have the right to complain to the UK Information Commissioner’s Office through ico.org.uk.
Changes to this notice
We will review this notice as Robot Harbour develops and will update the date above when material changes are made. Important changes will be brought to users’ attention where appropriate.
