Privacy Statement

Last updated: January 2026

CookDNN Limited (company number NI709578) ("CookDNN", "we", "us" or "our") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Statement explains what personal information we collect through cookdnn.com (the "Site"), how we use it, and your rights over it, in accordance with the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018.

We are the data controller for the personal information described in this Statement. If you have any questions, you can contact us at info@cookdnn.com.

What Information We Collect

We only collect personal information that you choose to give us directly. This includes:

Your name, email address, and any other contact details you provide when you get in touch through our Contact page
The content of any message or enquiry you send us
If you apply for a role with us, your name, contact details, CV, and any covering information you provide

We do not collect any information automatically through analytics, tracking, or advertising cookies. See "Cookies" below for details on what technical data the Site does collect.

How We Use Your Information

We use the information you provide to:

Respond to your enquiries and communicate with you about our services
Assess and respond to job applications
Meet our legal and regulatory obligations

We do not use your information for marketing communications unless you have separately agreed to receive them, and we do not carry out any automated decision-making or profiling using your data.

Legal Basis for Processing

We process your information on the basis of our legitimate interests in responding to enquiries and evaluating job applications, or, where applicable, because processing is necessary to take steps towards entering into a contract with you at your request.

Cookies

This Site does not use analytics, advertising, or other non-essential cookies. Any cookies set by the Site are strictly necessary for it to function (for example, to keep you logged in) and do not require your consent under the UK Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR). If this changes in future, we will update this Statement and, where required, ask for your consent before setting any non-essential cookies.

Sharing Your Information

We do not sell, rent, or share your personal information with third parties for their own marketing purposes. We may share your information with trusted service providers who help us operate the Site or our business (for example, our website hosting provider), and only to the extent necessary for them to provide that service to us. We may also disclose your information where required by law or to protect our legal rights.

How Long We Keep Your Information

We keep enquiry and application correspondence for up to 6 years from your last contact with us, in line with standard UK limitation periods for business and contractual records, except where correspondence relates to an ongoing client relationship or needs to be kept longer for legal, accounting, or genuine business record-keeping reasons. Correspondence is securely deleted once it is no longer needed for these purposes.

International Transfers

Our website is hosted within the European Union (EU), within the European Economic Area (EEA). The UK Government has confirmed that the EEA provides an adequate level of data protection, so your information can be transferred there without additional safeguards being required.

Security

We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your personal information against unauthorized access, loss, or misuse.

Your Rights

Under UK GDPR, you have the right to:

Access the personal information we hold about you
Ask us to correct inaccurate information
Ask us to delete your information
Restrict or object to how we use your information
Request that we transfer your information to another organization

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at info@cookdnn.com. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the UK Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) at ico.org.uk if you believe we have not handled your information properly.

Changes to This Statement

We may update this Privacy Statement from time to time. The updated version will be posted on this page with a revised "last updated" date.
