Who we are

This website is operated by Prof Rebecca Jarman. Our website address is https://mountainsmoving.org.

Information we collect

We do not collect personal information directly through this website — there are no contact forms, user accounts or newsletter sign-ups.

We collect limited information automatically through Google Analytics, including pages visited, device type, browser and approximate location.

Our legal basis for processing

We process this data on the basis of consent, obtained via our cookie banner before any non-essential cookies (including Google Analytics) are set. You can withdraw consent at any time through the cookie settings or your browser.

Cookies

This site uses cookies for functionality and analytics. Non-essential cookies are only set after you consent via our cookie banner. You can withdraw consent or manage cookies at any time through the banner or your browser settings.

Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use the site. Google processes this data on our behalf and may transfer it outside the UK, including to the US, under approved safeguards (Standard Contractual Clauses). See Google’s privacy policy for details.

Embedded content

Some pages may include embedded content from third-party services (e.g. YouTube, Vimeo). This content may set its own cookies and collect data about your visit, governed by that provider’s own privacy policy.

Data retention

Google Analytics data is retained according to our configured settings, currently 14 months, after which it is automatically deleted.

Who we share your data with

We do not sell or share personal information for marketing purposes. Data collected via Google Analytics or embedded content may be processed by the relevant provider (Google, YouTube, Vimeo) as described above.

Security

We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect any information collected via this site.

Automated decision-making

We do not use automated decision-making or profiling.

This website is not directed at children, and we do not knowingly collect data from anyone under 18.

Your rights

Under UK GDPR, you have the right to access, correct, delete, or restrict processing of your personal data, to object to processing, to data portability, and to withdraw consent at any time. You also have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) at ico.org.uk if you believe your data has been mishandled.
