Varanity (“we”, “us”, or “our”) operates the website at https://varanity.com. This Privacy Policy explains what personal information we collect, how we use it, and your rights regarding that information. By using our website you agree to the practices described here.
01Information we collect
Information you provide directly. When you submit our contact form you give us your name, email address, company name (optional), and the content of your message. We use this solely to respond to your enquiry.
Usage data. Our hosting provider automatically collects standard server log data — your IP address, browser type, pages visited, and timestamps. This data is used for security monitoring and aggregate analytics only. We do not cross-reference it with personally identifiable information.
02How we use your information
We use the information we collect to:
- Respond to your enquiries and manage our relationship with you.
- Improve the functionality and content of the website.
- Comply with legal obligations and protect against fraud or misuse.
We do not sell, rent, or share your personal data with third parties for marketing purposes. We will never send you unsolicited commercial email.
03Legal basis for processing (GDPR)
If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA) or the United Kingdom, our processing of your personal data is based on the following legal grounds:
- Contract performance — where processing is necessary to respond to your enquiry or provide our services.
- Legitimate interests — for site security and aggregate analytics, where those interests are not overridden by your rights.
- Consent — where you have explicitly agreed, e.g. by submitting a contact form.

07Data security
We implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect your personal data against unauthorised access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. All data is transmitted over HTTPS/TLS. No method of internet transmission is 100% secure and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
