Privacy Policy

1. Who We Are

We are independent customers of Octopus Energy who operate this website to share our referral link. We are based in the United Kingdom. You can contact us at hello@octopus-energy-referral-link.co.uk with any privacy-related questions.

2. What Data We Collect

We collect only the minimum data necessary to operate our website:

Analytics Data (via Google Analytics)

We use Google Analytics (GA4) to understand how visitors use our site. This includes information such as your approximate location (country/region), browser type, device type, pages visited, time spent on our site, and how you arrived. This data is pseudonymous and Google processes it in accordance with their own privacy policy. IP addresses are anonymised.

Email Communications

If you contact us by email, we will process your name and email address in order to respond to your query. We do not add you to any mailing list or share this data with third parties.

Cookies

We use cookies for analytics and functionality. See our Cookie Policy for full details.

3. Why We Use Your Data (Legal Basis)

4. Data Sharing

We do not sell or rent your personal data to third parties. We share data only in the following limited ways:

• Google Analytics / Google Ads — anonymised analytics data processed under Google's privacy policy
• Octopus Energy — when you click our referral link you are taken to Octopus Energy's website, which operates under their own privacy policy
• Legal requirements — if we are required to disclose data by law or a court order

5. How Long We Keep Your Data

Analytics data is retained within Google Analytics for 14 months by default. Email correspondence is kept for as long as necessary to resolve your query and for a reasonable period afterwards (up to 12 months). We then delete it. We do not retain data beyond what is necessary.

6. Your Rights Under UK GDPR

Under UK GDPR, you have the right to:

• Access the personal data we hold about you
• Correct inaccurate personal data

7. Third-Party Links

Our website contains links to external websites, including Octopus Energy's website. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those websites and we encourage you to read their privacy policies when you visit them.

8. Security

We take reasonable precautions to protect any personal data we hold. Our website is served over HTTPS (encrypted connection). However, no method of internet transmission is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
