How we collect, use and protect your personal data, and how cookies are used on this site.

Last updated: July 2026

1. Who We Are

This website is operated by 1UP Computers, a computer and console repair specialist based in Lower Dicker, East Sussex. If you have any questions about this policy, contact us at tommyvv21@gmail.com or 07494 754193.

For the purposes of UK GDPR, 1UP Computers is the data controller for personal data collected through this website.

2. What Personal Data We Collect

When you submit a repair request or enquiry through our website forms, we collect:

  • Name
  • Phone number
  • Email address
  • Service area
  • Service type
  • Urgency
  • Preferred contact method
  • Message

We also collect limited technical data automatically when you browse the site — such as your IP address, browser type and pages visited — but only where you have consented to analytics cookies (see Section 5).

3. How We Use Your Data

We use the personal data you provide to:

  • Respond to your repair request or enquiry
  • Provide and manage the repair and technical services you request
  • Comply with our legal obligations

Our lawful basis for processing enquiry data is legitimate interest (responding to service requests) and, where a repair contract is agreed, contractual necessity.

4. Who We Share Your Data With

We do not sell your personal data. We share data only with trusted service providers, under contracts that require them to protect your data:

  • Netlify, Inc. — hosts this website and processes form submissions on our behalf.
  • Blueprint Marketing — our web development agency, who may access site data for maintenance and support purposes.

We may also disclose data where required by law, or to protect our legal rights.

5. Cookies

This site uses a small number of cookies. Non-essential cookies (analytics) only load after you give consent via the cookie banner. You can change your choice at any time using the "Cookie Settings" link in the footer.
