UK GDPR Compliance
Cake Inspiration Station is committed to respecting your data protection rights under the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR). This page explains how we comply with the law and how you can exercise your rights.
Scope and Applicability
This compliance page applies to all visitors of Cake Inspiration Station, regardless of location. While our business is registered in New Zealand, we process personal data of individuals in the United Kingdom and therefore adhere to the UK GDPR as a matter of legal and ethical responsibility.
Your Rights Under UK GDPR
Under the UK GDPR, you have the following rights:
- Right of access – You can request a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
- Right to rectification – You can ask us to correct any inaccurate or incomplete personal data.
- Right to erasure – You can request deletion of your personal data in certain circumstances.
- Right to restrict processing – You can ask us to limit how we use your data.
- Right to data portability – You can request your data in a structured, machine-readable format.
- Right to object – You can object to our processing of your data based on legitimate interests.
How We Comply
Cake Inspiration Station is an informational blog with no user registration, login system, or database storing personal information. We do not collect or store names, emails, addresses, or other identifiers. Any personal data processed is limited to:
- Anonymous browsing data via cookies and analytics tools (e.g., Google Analytics)
- Server log files (IP addresses, browser type, pages visited) used for security and site performance
We do not sell, share, or trade personal data. We use legitimate interest as our legal basis for processing limited, non-identifiable data to improve user experience and site functionality.
Data We Process
Under UK GDPR, the only data we process includes:
- IP addresses (anonymised where possible)
- Cookie identifiers for analytics
- Browser and device information
- Pages visited and time spent on site
This data is not linked to any individual and cannot be used to identify you personally.
Legal Basis for Processing
Our processing of data is based on legitimate interest under Article 6(1)(f) of the UK GDPR. We use analytics to understand how visitors interact with our content so we can improve our baking guides and cake inspiration. This interest is balanced against your privacy rights, and we do not process data for profiling or automated decision-making.

No Discrimination Policy
You will not be denied access to our content, charged fees, or treated differently in any way for exercising your UK GDPR rights. Our site remains fully accessible to all visitors regardless of whether they make a data request.
