Privacy notice
This notice explains how personal information is handled when you use this website or contact Merdian Group.
Data controller
The data controller is Sam, who operates Merdian Group as described above.
What this website collects
This website does not have a contact form, user accounts, analytics or advertising. It does not ask you to enter any personal information.
Like any website, it is delivered by a hosting provider. That provider, Vercel, processes technical information such as your IP address, browser type and the pages requested. This is needed to deliver the site and protect it from abuse. Vercel acts as a processor, and its handling of this data is described in the Vercel privacy policy.
The lawful basis for this processing is legitimate interests: running a website that is secure and reliable.
If you send an email
If you email Merdian, your email address, name (if given) and anything you include in the message will be received. This information is used only to read and reply to your message and to deal with any follow-up. The lawful basis is legitimate interests: answering correspondence you have chosen to send.
Emails are kept for as long as needed to deal with your enquiry and any reasonable follow-up, then deleted. They are not sold, and they are not shared with anyone except where needed to provide the email service or where the law requires it.
Links to other websites
This site links to the websites of projects in the portfolio and to other external sites. Those websites have their own privacy practices, and this notice does not cover them.
Your rights
Under UK data protection law you have the right to request access to your personal information, and to ask for it to be corrected or erased. You can also object to or restrict how it is used. To make a request, use the contact details above.
You also have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) at ico.org.uk.
Cookies
This website does not set cookies itself and does not use tracking technologies. If the hosting provider’s (Vercel) security systems detect unusual traffic, they may set a strictly necessary security cookie. That cookie is used only to protect the site.
Strictly necessary cookies do not need consent under UK law, so there is nothing to accept or reject. The site shows a short notice explaining this instead. When you dismiss it, your browser stores one small setting in its local storage, not a cookie, so the notice is not shown again. This setting stays on your device, is never sent to Merdian Group or anyone else, and is removed when you clear this site’s data in your browser.
Website terms
The content on this website is provided for general information about Merdian Group and its portfolio. Every effort is made to keep it accurate, but it may change without notice.
Links to external websites, including project websites, are provided for convenience. Merdian Group is not responsible for the content of websites it does not operate.
The Merdian Group name and website content must not be reproduced in a way that suggests endorsement or affiliation without permission. Project names and identities belong to their respective projects.
These terms are governed by the law of England and Wales.
