Last updated 10 August 2026. Covers stripyfish.net only — Varde, our compliance platform, has its own separate privacy notice covering its own service.
Who we are
Stripy Fish Networks Limited, a company registered in England and Wales (company number 4958546), registered office 26 Wellhead Lane, Westbury, Wiltshire, BA13 3PT ("we", "us").
We're registered with the UK Information Commissioner's Office as a data controller — registration number ZC148489.
We're a small organisation and haven't appointed a Data Protection Officer. For anything privacy-related, contact privacy@stripyfish.net.
What we collect, and why
This site's only data collection point is the contact form. When you submit it, we collect the name, email address, and message you provide, purely to read and reply to your enquiry.
Your message isn't stored in a database — it's forwarded directly by email to our team inbox, where it's kept in line with our normal business email practice, and deleted on request (see Your rights, below).
Legal basis: responding to an enquiry you've sent us is a legitimate interest of ours (Article 6(1)(f) UK GDPR); if it leads to us discussing a service with you, further processing relies on taking steps toward a contract (Article 6(1)(b)).
Cloudflare Turnstile
The contact form is protected by Cloudflare Turnstile, a challenge widget that checks a submission is coming from a real person rather than automated spam, without showing you a traditional CAPTCHA. As part of that check, your IP address is sent to Cloudflare. We don't receive or store the details of that check ourselves — only whether it passed.
Legal basis: legitimate interest in keeping this form free of automated abuse (Article 6(1)(f) UK GDPR).
Who we share data with
- Cloudflare — the Turnstile spam/fraud check described above
- Our email/SMTP provider — delivers your message to our inbox
We don't sell personal data, run advertising or analytics trackers, or share form submissions with anyone else.
International transfers
Cloudflare operates infrastructure outside the UK, including in the United States. Any transfer of your IP address as part of a Turnstile check is covered by Cloudflare's own privacy policy and standard contractual safeguards.
How long we keep data
We don't retain a copy of your submission beyond our team email inbox — there's no separate database for contact-form data. Turnstile's own verification cookie is short-lived and tied to completing the challenge, not persistent tracking.
Your rights
Under UK GDPR, you have the right to:
- Access the personal data we hold about you
- Rectify inaccurate data
- Erase your data — for a contact-form enquiry, this means deleting the email from our inbox on request
- Object to processing based on our legitimate interests, at any time
- Complain to the ICO if you think we've got something wrong
To exercise any of these, email privacy@stripyfish.net. We'll respond within one month.
Cookies
This site sets no cookies of its own. The only cookie in play is Cloudflare Turnstile's short-lived challenge cookie, set on the contact page to verify a submission is genuine before it's sent. We treat this as strictly necessary to keep the form usable and free of automated abuse, so we don't run a separate cookie-consent banner for it. We don't use any advertising, analytics, or tracking cookies.
Security
Form submissions are sent over an encrypted connection. Turnstile helps block automated/bot submissions before they reach us.
Changes to this notice
We'll update the date at the top of this page whenever we make a material change.
