Privacy Policy

Effective Date: August 2026

At the Landy Rover (accessible from www.thelandyrover.com), we take visitor privacy seriously and after working for nearly 30 years in IT security and governance, I love a good Privacy Policy, so here goes... (No lawyers involved, no change control either! Just me, sitting on a plane and bored playing with this webpage. Not that anyone will ever look at it of course!)

This Privacy Policy outlines what information we capture, how it is processed, and the third-party services integrated across our website.

1. Information We Collect

We keep data collection minimal. The only personal information captured directly on this website occurs when you interact with us voluntarily:

Comment Sections: When posting a comment on our pages, you may optionally provide an email address along with your displayed name. Your email address is kept private and is never published or shared. After you are notified of a reply, we delete your email address.
Email Enquiries: If you send us an email directly, we retain your email address and message content solely to reply to your inquiry. Once we have replied, your email address is deleted.

2. Third-Party Services & Automated Processing

We use specific third-party tools to secure our website, monitor traffic, and process incoming communications:

Google reCAPTCHA

We implement Google reCAPTCHA to prevent automated spam on interactive features. reCAPTCHA collects hardware and software information (such as IP address and device data) to analyze site security. Subject to Google's Privacy Policy and Terms of Service.

Google Gemini AI Screening

Incoming comments and contact emails are screened using Google Gemini AI to automatically filter out spam, malicious content, and offensive language before they are reviewed or posted. Subject to Google's Privacy Policy and Terms of Service.

3. How We Use Your Data

Any information received is used strictly for:

Displaying your approved comments on expedition update pages.
Responding to direct questions, feedback.
Protecting the site against automated abuse and spam.

4. Data Protection & Your Rights

We do not sell, trade, or rent personal data to marketers or third parties. Once we have posted your comment or responded to your email, your email address is automatically deleted.

5. Contact Us
