UK GDPR Compliance
Cowboy Style Outlet is committed to respecting your data protection rights under the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR). This page explains how we comply with these rights, even though we do not store personal data through user registration or databases.
Scope and Applicability
The UK GDPR applies to the processing of personal data of individuals in the United Kingdom. While Cowboy Style Outlet does not collect personal information through accounts or forms, we may automatically gather limited data via website analytics, cookies, and server logs for operational and security purposes. This includes IP addresses, browser types, and usage patterns.
Your Rights Under UK GDPR
Under the UK GDPR, you have the following rights:
- Right of access: You may request confirmation of whether we process any of your personal data.
- Right to rectification: You may request correction of inaccurate or incomplete data.
- Right to erasure: You may request deletion of your personal data, where applicable.
- Right to restrict processing: You may request limitation of how your data is used.
- Right to data portability: You may request a copy of your data in a structured, machine-readable format.
- Right to object: You may object to processing based on legitimate interest, including analytics.
How We Comply
We do not maintain databases of personal information. Any data collected automatically is used solely for website functionality, security, and analytics. We use cookie consent banners to ensure lawful processing. We retain log data only for 30 days and anonymize analytics data where possible.
Data We Process
Under UK GDPR, the personal data we may process includes:
- IP addresses (temporary, for security and fraud prevention)
- Browser and device information (for site compatibility)
- Cookie identifiers (for functionality and analytics)
- Usage patterns (aggregated, anonymized data)
Legal Basis for Processing
Our processing of personal data is based on legitimate interest — specifically, to ensure website security, improve user experience, and analyze traffic trends. We do not use data for profiling or automated decision-making. We balance our interests against your rights and freedoms.
How to Exercise Your Rights

Response Timeframes
We are required to respond to your request within one month of receipt. In complex cases, we may extend this period by two additional months and will inform you within one month of the reason for the delay.
No Discrimination Policy
