Privacy Policy

Introduction

This Privacy Policy explains how Blossom Learning: Nurturing Educational Growth ("we", "us", or "our") collects, uses, and protects information when you visit our website at blossomlearning.co.uk. We are committed to respecting your privacy and ensuring transparency about how your data is handled.

Information We Collect

When you visit our website, we automatically collect certain information through standard web technologies. This includes:

• IP address and browser type
• Pages visited and time spent on the site
• Referral sources (e.g., search engines or other websites)
• Device information such as operating system and screen resolution

We do not collect names, email addresses, phone numbers, or any other personally identifiable information unless you voluntarily provide it through contact forms or comments — and even then, no data is stored in a database.

How We Use Information

The information we collect is used solely for the following purposes:

• To understand how visitors interact with our content
• To improve website performance and user experience
• To analyse traffic patterns and tailor content to visitor interests
• To ensure the website functions correctly and securely

We do not use your data for marketing, profiling, or selling to third parties.

Cookies and Tracking Technologies

We use cookies — small text files stored on your device — to enhance your browsing experience. These include:

• Essential cookies to maintain site functionality
• Analytics cookies to measure traffic and usage
• Preference cookies to remember your settings

You can manage or disable cookies through your browser settings. Disabling cookies may affect certain features of the website.

Third-Party Services

We use trusted third-party services to help us understand and improve our website:

• Google Analytics to collect anonymous usage data
• Potential advertising networks (e.g., Google AdSense) that may place cookies to serve relevant ads

These third parties have their own privacy policies and are responsible for their own data practices. We do not control or have access to their data collection methods beyond what is disclosed in their policies.

Data Security

We take reasonable measures to protect your information. Our website uses standard security protocols, including HTTPS encryption. However, please note that no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security of data transmitted via the internet.

Your Rights

Under the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018, you have the following rights:

• The right to be informed about how your data is used
• The right to access any personal data we hold about you (if any)
• The right to request deletion of your data
• The right to object to processing
• The right to withdraw consent where applicable

Since we do not store personal data in databases, most requests will relate to cookies or server logs, which are automatically deleted after a reasonable period. If you wish to exercise any of these rights, please contact us at [email protected].

Children's Privacy

Our website is not directed toward children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, please contact us immediately and we will take steps to delete it.
