1. Who We Are

This Website (numberplatemaker.uk) is owned by Rivmedia (“the Platform Owner”). For the purposes of UK data protection law, Rivmedia is the data controller in respect of personal data collected through the Website platform itself.

The independent Operator who conducts trading activity through this Website is a separate data controller in respect of personal data collected for the purposes of processing orders, verifying customer entitlement, and fulfilling purchases. Customers should refer to the Operator’s own privacy notice for information about how the Operator processes their data.

Google Analytics data is processed in accordance with Google’s privacy policy. We have enabled IP anonymisation, meaning your full IP address is not stored. You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on, available at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.

5. Payment Processing

Payments made through this Website are processed by Stripe, a third-party payment processor. The Platform Owner does not collect, store, or have access to payment card details. Stripe’s privacy policy applies to all payment data. For more information, visit stripe.com/gb/privacy.

Analytics data is retained in accordance with Google Analytics’ default retention settings (up to 26 months). Contact enquiry data is retained for no longer than 12 months from the date of the enquiry unless a longer retention period is required by law.

We do not sell your personal data. We may share data with:
