Last updated: May 2025

This website (skinmap.co.uk) is owned and operated by Karim Ahmed. By accessing or using this website, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by the following terms. If you do not agree, please discontinue use immediately.

This site complies with the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018. Any personal data you provide (such as via forms or email) is:

• Collected only with your explicit consent
   
• Stored securely
   
• Used solely for the purposes you agreed to (e.g. booking, communication, newsletter)
   
• Never sold or shared with third parties without permission, except where legally required
   

You have the right to:

• Access, correct, or delete your data
   
• Withdraw consent at any time
   
• File a complaint with the ICO (Information Commissioner’s Office)
   

To exercise your rights or request more information, contact me here.

This site uses essential and optional cookies to:

• Monitor and improve site performance
   
• Remember your preferences
   
• Personalise your experience
   

By using this site, you consent to the placement of cookies on your device. You can manage cookie preferences through your browser settings.

IP addresses may also be logged temporarily to ensure security, detect abuse, and assess general usage trends. These are not used to identify individuals unless there is a security-related concern.

All materials on this site are created in good faith, based on professional experience and consensual exchanges. Any descriptions or references to individuals are either:

• With prior informed consent
   
• Rendered anonymous or fictionalised to ensure no identifiable link
   

You acknowledge that any inferred identification of unnamed persons is subjective, unless supported by clear, verifiable evidence.

If you believe content on this site is unlawful or misrepresents you, see Section 5.

If you believe content hosted here violates legal standards (e.g. defamation, copyright infringement, GDPR breach), you agree to:

First Contact Me Directly using the form on the Contact Page with:

• Page URL(s) in question
   
• Exact text or content snippet
   
• Clear reasoning and any supporting evidence
   

I will review the issue in good faith, and where appropriate, take corrective action.

If you bypass this resolution step and raise the issue with third parties (including law enforcement or regulators) without offering me the chance to respond, this may be considered an act of bad faith or, where unfounded, a defamatory or nefarious act in itself.

If a resolution cannot be achieved, you may then escalate to the appropriate authority (ICO, legal counsel, etc.).

If you do not fully understand these terms, you agree:

• Not to access or use the site until clarity is obtained
   
• To contact me directly with your questions
   
• To confirm understanding in writing before resuming use
   

Links to third-party websites are provided for informational purposes only. I do not control, and am not responsible for, their privacy practices or content. Please review their policies before engaging.

This policy may be updated periodically to reflect legal, technical, or operational changes. The "Last updated" date will always be shown. Your continued use after any changes constitutes agreement to the updated terms.

If you have questions, contact me here.
