1. Who We Are
This website, Truthfarian, is maintained and operated by Endarr Carlton Ramdin, acting as a public-interest whistleblower and private legal entity.
The site is designed for the civic purpose of evidentiary publication, systemic exposure, and lawful redress under the Public Interest Disclosure Act 1998 (PIDA) and aligned international frameworks including:
• Geneva Convention and associated protocols
• International Criminal Court standards
• UN human rights charters and conventions
2. Purpose of Data Processing
We process data solely for the following purposes:
• Publishing lawful disclosures and public-interest documents
• Generating statistical and diagnostic web analytics (e.g. Google Analytics, subject to consent)
• Supporting basic functional operations (such as cookies required to remember preferences)
We do not sell, trade, broker, or otherwise monetise user data.
3. Your Rights
Under the UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018, you have the right to:
• Access your personal data
• Request correction of inaccurate data
• Request erasure of data, subject to lawful exemptions
• Object to or restrict certain forms of processing
• Lodge a complaint with the UK Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO)
Truthfarian applies strict data minimisation and purpose-limitation: data is collected only where necessary and retained only for as long as required for lawful operation and evidential integrity.
4. Cookies
This site uses a small number of cookies, grouped as follows:
| Type | Purpose | Consent Required |
|---|---|---|
| Functional Cookies | Maintain session state, language, and display preferences. | No — strictly necessary |
| Analytics Cookies (e.g. Google Analytics) | Measure anonymous usage patterns to improve stability and content. | Yes — enabled only after explicit opt-in |
| Cookie-Consent Storage | Record whether you accepted or rejected optional cookies. | No — required to honour your choice |
On first visit you will be presented with a cookie banner. Optional analytics cookies will not load unless you actively consent. You may change your decision at any time via the site’s Cookie Settings link.
5. Legal Basis
Data is processed under the following legal bases set out in Article 6 UK GDPR:
• Article 6(1)(c) – Legal obligation: compliance with statutory and regulatory duties, including PIDA and court-ordered disclosure.
• Article 6(1)(e) – Public task: publication and preservation of public-interest material and whistleblowing records.
• Article 6(1)(a) – Consent: non-essential cookies and analytics, where you have explicitly opted in.
Where content includes sensitive personal data, it is processed and published strictly within the bounds of public-interest and whistleblowing exemptions recognised in UK law and international human-rights frameworks.
6. Data Retention
Truthfarian does not intentionally collect or store routine personal data about casual visitors beyond what is technically necessary for site delivery and security.
Where analytics cookies are enabled, traffic is recorded in an anonymised or pseudonymised form only, and retained in line with the default retention periods of the analytics provider.
Any personal data supplied directly in the context of legal correspondence, disclosures, or rights requests is retained only:
• for as long as required to evidence the record, and
• for as long as necessary to meet legal, regulatory, or court obligations.
7. International Transfers
Truthfarian is operated from within the United Kingdom. No deliberate transfer of personal data to third countries is undertaken except where:
• technical hosting or analytics providers route traffic through non-UK infrastructure, and
• appropriate safeguards are in place (such as Standard Contractual Clauses or participation in recognised data-protection frameworks).
Where analytics are used, IP-anonymisation and similar controls are applied wherever available.
8. Security Measures
The site is protected using layered technical and organisational measures, including:
• Transport Layer Security (TLS) encryption for data in transit
• Restricted administrative access and authentication controls
• No use of advertising networks or third-party tracking pixels
• Drupal-level cookie and consent controls to enforce your preferences
• Regular patching of the underlying CMS and hosting stack
9. Changes to This Policy
This Privacy and Cookie Policy may be updated from time to time to reflect:
• changes in law or regulatory guidance,
• changes to the site’s technical stack or analytics tools, or
• changes to the scope of public-interest publication.
Substantive changes will be signposted on the site, for example via an on-page notice or banner, indicating the date from which the updated policy takes effect.
