3. What Data Is Processed, Why, and For How Long
What is processed
We process only the standard technical server logs that a web host automatically keeps when your browser loads a page. Whenever you visit any website on the internet, your device must send its Internet Protocol (IP) address so the server knows where to send the page and images back. You do not have to give us anything else to read or use RiddleWharf.
The technical server log fields recorded when a page or image is requested are: We keep no visitor logs of our own. To deliver and protect the site, Cloudflare processes technical request data: IP address, time of the request, the page requested, and browser and device type..
Why it is processed & our lawful basis
This technical log data is processed strictly to deliver the website to your browser, keep the server secure against malicious traffic or denial-of-service attacks, and diagnose or fix technical faults.
Our lawful basis for this processing is legitimate interests under Article 6(1)(f) of the UK GDPR. Our legitimate interests are the reliable delivery of our web pages, protecting the security and integrity of our hosting infrastructure, and troubleshooting server errors. Because the logs are limited to routine technical request data and are never used to identify or profile visitors, these legitimate interests do not override your fundamental rights and freedoms.
Who receives it (Hosting Provider & International Transfers)
We do not sell, rent or share technical logs with advertisers, data brokers or analytics companies. The technical server logs are received and processed solely by our hosting provider acting as our data processor, including any applicable international transfer and its legal safeguard:
Hosting Processor & Transfer Safeguard: Cloudflare, Inc., 101 Townsend Street, San Francisco, CA 94107, USA. The site is delivered from Cloudflare's global network, including data centres outside the UK and Canada; Cloudflare is certified under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework and its UK Extension.
How long technical logs are kept (Retention)
Technical server logs are kept only for as long as necessary to maintain security and fix faults, after which they are automatically deleted or overwritten:
Log Retention Period: We keep no server logs. Cloudflare keeps request data only for as long as its privacy policy (cloudflare.com/privacypolicy) sets out for security and network operations.
