The Country Kiwi ("thecountrykiwi.co.uk", "1 Windrush Heights, Burford, Oxfordshire, OX184BF, England") is committed to protecting your personal data. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect when you visit our website, how we use it, and your rights under UK data protection law (UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018).

The Country Kiwi is a UK-based café and food & beverage business. For any privacy-related queries, you can contact us at:

When you visit our website, we may automatically collect the following information via cookies and analytics tools:

• Your IP address (anonymised where possible)
• Browser type and version
• Pages visited and time spent on each page
• Referring website (how you found us)
• Device type (desktop, mobile, tablet)

We do not collect your name, email address, or any other directly identifying information unless you choose to contact us directly.

We use this data solely to:

• Understand how visitors use our website so we can improve it
• Monitor website performance and fix technical issues
• Analyse traffic patterns and popular content

We do not sell your data to third parties or use it for advertising purposes.

Our website uses cookies — small text files placed on your device. We use:

Analytics cookies (e.g. Google Analytics) — these help us understand website traffic and usage. Google Analytics data is anonymised and aggregated; it does not identify you personally.

You can control or disable cookies at any time through your browser settings. Note that disabling cookies may affect how some parts of our website function.

For more information on managing cookies, visit www.aboutcookies.org.

We use Google Analytics, operated by Google LLC. Google may process data on servers outside the UK. Google's privacy policy can be found at policies.google.com/privacy.

We have no control over third-party websites linked from our site and are not responsible for their privacy practices.

Under UK GDPR, our legal basis for processing analytics data is legitimate interests (Article 6(1)(f)) — specifically, our interest in understanding how our website is used in order to improve it. We have assessed that this does not override your rights and freedoms.

Analytics data is retained in line with Google Analytics' default retention settings (up to 26 months), after which it is automatically deleted.

Under UK GDPR, you have the right to:

• Access the personal data we hold about you
• Rectify inaccurate data
• Erase your data ("right to be forgotten")
• Object to processing based on legitimate interests
• Restrict processing in certain circumstances
• Lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) at ico.org.uk or by calling 0303 123 1113

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at [your@email.com].

We may update this policy from time to time. The "Last updated" date at the top will always reflect the most recent version. We encourage you to check back periodically.
