Cookies and Third-Party Technologies

Lenkie and our third-party service providers set and use cookies and similar technologies to store and manage user preferences, enable content, gather analytics and usage data, and deliver advertising.


Cookies are typically assigned to one of the following categories:

  • Essential Cookies: enable you to navigate our Website and use the Services. Without these cookies, our Website will not perform as smoothly for you as we would like, and we may not be able to provide certain functions and features.

  • Analytics Cookies: collect information about the use of our Website and application and enable us to improve how our Services work.

We use third-party service providers, including but not limited to Google Analytics, to analyse the use of our Website.


Most browsers are set to accept cookies automatically. You can deactivate the storing of cookies or adjust your browser to inform you before the cookie is stored on your computer. Some browsers have “Do Not Track” features that allow you to tell websites not to track you. Lenkie does not respond to “Do Not Track” signals.

Managing Your Preferences

We may use your information to provide you with marketing or other promotional communications via email. If, at any time, you would like to stop receiving these promotional emails, please follow the opt-out instructions contained in the email. It may take up to fourteen (14) business days for us to process opt-out requests.

Other Websites and Businesses

This Privacy Policy covers the privacy practices of Lenkie only. It does not apply to the practices of third-party websites, services, or applications, including those we partner with. These third-party services are governed by their own privacy policies.

International Transfers

Some of the data processors we use are outside the UK, or may host your personal data outside the UK. Whenever we transfer your personal data out of the UK, we ensure a similar degree of protection is afforded by implementing one of the following safeguards:


  • Your personal data is transferred to a country that has been deemed to provide an adequate level of protection for personal data by the UK government.

  • Where we use certain service providers, we may use specific contracts approved by the UK government that give your personal data the same protection it has in the UK.

  • We will introduce International Data Transfer Agreements, and International Data Transfer Addendums in line with UK GDPR requirements.


Please contact us if you want further information on the specific mechanism used by us when transferring your personal data out of the UK.

Your Legal Rights

You have rights under the data protection laws in relation to your personal data. These rights include:

  • The right to be informed

  • The right of access

  • The right to get your data corrected

  • The right to get your data deleted

  • The right to object to the use of your data

  • The right to limit how organisations use your data

  • The right to data portability

Where the lawful basis for processing your personal data is your consent, you have the right to withdraw your consent at any time. If you wish to exercise any of the rights set out above, please call, email, or write to us. We may need to request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity as a security measure to ensure personal data is not disclosed to unauthorised persons. We may also contact you for further information in relation to your request to speed up our response.


We try to respond to all legitimate requests within one month. Occasionally it could take longer than a month if your request is particularly complex or you have made several requests. In this case, we will notify you and keep you updated.
