Privacy policy
Last updated: 21 October 2026
This policy explains how Homebody Bots handles personal data when you use homebodybots.com, and what rights you have under UK data protection law (the UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018). The short answer: we collect as little as we can. There are no forms, accounts, analytics or advertising trackers. Like any website, our server keeps short-lived technical logs, and if you email us we keep your email so we can reply.
Homebody Bots is a trading name of Pumpkin Web Design Ltd, a company registered in England and Wales (company number 07992241), registered office 1 Starkie Chambers, Lancaster Road, Preston, England, PR1 1DA.
Pumpkin Web Design Ltd is the data controller for the personal data covered by this policy. We're registered with the UK's data protection regulator, the Information Commission (formerly the Information Commissioner's Office, still known as the ICO), under registration reference ZA906754.
Contact us about privacy at [email protected] or by post at the registered office address above.
If you choose to email [email protected], we receive your email address, your name if you include it, and whatever you write.
As an Amazon Associate we earn from qualifying purchases. Links marked "View on Amazon" are affiliate links that include our tracking ID.
Our website runs on our own server, provided in the UK by our hosting company, Team Blue Internet Services UK Limited (trading as Catalyst2). When your browser requests a page, the server automatically records basic technical details: your IP address, the date and time, the page requested, the page you came from and your browser type. Our firewall may also record requests it blocks.
Catalyst2 provides the server for us and acts as our processor.
We don't use any analytics tools. Our fonts and images all come from our own server, so while you're on our pages your browser doesn't contact Google Fonts or any other outside server. We don't embed YouTube videos, social media feeds or maps. You only reach another site when you click a link, such as a "View on Amazon" button.
If you press Pause animations, your browser remembers that choice on your device (local storage). It isn't sent to us, doesn't identify you and isn't used for anything else. Press Play or clear your browser's site data to remove it.
If you connect a robot to an AI service, any images, audio or text the robot sends to that service are handled by that service under its own terms and privacy policy, not ours. Homebody Bots never receives them, and none of it passes through this website.
These providers help us run the site. They act on our instructions as our processors, and don't use your data for their own purposes.
| Who | What for | Where |
|---|---|---|
| Team Blue Internet Services UK Limited (trading as Catalyst2) | the server our website runs on, including its technical logs | UK |
| Fasthosts | our email inbox | UK |
We may also share information if the law requires it, or to protect our rights. We never sell personal data or share it for advertising.
We keep our website and email with UK providers, and the data we hold is stored in the UK. Our providers may sometimes use their own specialist suppliers outside the UK, for example for technical support. Where they do, they must protect your data with the safeguards UK law requires. Amazon is a separate controller for the data it collects on its own site and is responsible for its own safeguards.
You have the right to:
In most cases the only things we might hold about you are an email you've sent us and, for a few weeks, our server logs. To use any of these rights, email [email protected] or write to us at our registered office. We'll reply within one month. It's free in most cases.
If you're unhappy with how we've handled your personal data, you have the right to complain to us. Email [email protected] with "Privacy complaint" in the subject line, or write to us at our registered office. We'll acknowledge your complaint within 30 days, look into it, keep you updated, and tell you the outcome without undue delay.
You also have the right to complain to the UK's data protection regulator, the Information Commission (formerly the Information Commissioner's Office, still known as the ICO): ico.org.uk/make-a-complaint, helpline 0303 123 1113. It usually expects you to raise it with us first.
This site is meant for adults buying robot kits. If you think a child has emailed us, contact us and we'll delete the email.
The site runs over HTTPS. Access to the admin area and to our inbox is limited to the people who need it and protected by strong passwords.
We'll update this page if anything changes, and change the "last updated" date at the top.
