Privacy notice: advertising enquiries
Last updated: 12 October 2026
Who we are
The Prestwick Patter is a free weekly newsletter for Prestwick, Monkton and Symington. This notice covers the details you give us on our advertising enquiry form at partners.prestwick.brufield.com.
The data controller is Bruce Lamberton, trading as The Prestwick Patter, a sole trader. You can reach us by email only at [email protected] about anything in this notice.
What we collect
Only what you type into the form, plus a note of when you sent it:
| What | Needed? |
|---|---|
| Business name and what you do | Yes |
| Your name and email address | Yes |
| Phone number | Optional |
| Website or booking link | Optional |
| Which ad spaces interest you | Optional |
| That you agreed we can contact you about advertising, and when | Yes |
We give each enquiry a reference number. We don't use tracking cookies on this page, and we don't record your IP address with your enquiry. Our hosting provider keeps short-lived technical logs to run and protect the site.
Why we use it
We use your details to reply to your enquiry, talk to you about advertising in the Patter, and, if you go ahead, arrange your placement and invoice you.
| Use | Lawful basis (UK GDPR) |
|---|---|
| Replying and talking to you about advertising | Your consent, given by ticking the box on the form |
| Setting up and running a booking, invoicing | Steps towards, and performing, a contract with you |
| Keeping invoice records | Legal obligation (tax record-keeping) |
You can withdraw consent at any time by emailing [email protected]. We'll stop contacting you about advertising; it doesn't affect anything already done.
We won't add you to the reader newsletter unless you sign up for it separately. We don't sell your details or share them for anyone else's marketing.
Who else handles it
We use a small number of service providers to run the form. They act on our instructions and can't use your details for their own purposes.
| Provider | What they do | Where |
|---|---|---|
| Cloudflare | Hosts the form and passes your enquiry to our records | Global network, including the US |
| Airtable | Stores our enquiry and partner records | US |
| Google (Gmail) | Our email, when we reply to you | US and elsewhere |
Some of these providers store data outside the UK. Where they do, the transfer is covered by safeguards recognised under UK law, such as the UK's data bridge with the US or the UK International Data Transfer Addendum to standard contractual clauses.
We'd only share your details with anyone else if the law required it.
How long we keep it
We keep your details only as long as we need them:
- Enquiries that don't go ahead: deleted 24 months after we were last in touch.
- Advertising partners: kept while you advertise with us, then for 6 years after the last invoice, because tax law requires us to keep business records.
- If you withdraw consent: we stop contacting you straight away, and delete your enquiry unless we need to keep a record for a booking or invoice.
Your rights
You can ask us to:
- give you a copy of the details we hold about you
- correct anything that's wrong
- delete your details
- stop or limit how we use them
- give you your details in a format you can take elsewhere
Email [email protected]. We'll reply within one month and won't charge you.
If you're unhappy with how we've handled your details, please tell us first so we can put it right. You also have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO): ico.org.uk/make-a-complaint or 0303 123 1113.
Changes to this notice
If we change how we use your details, we'll update this page and the date at the top. If a change affects you directly, we'll email you first.
