Who runs this site

The Tech Surgeon is Rob Fleming’s personal creator website, covering gaming, technology, travel and food. For a privacy question or request, contact Rob through The Tech Surgeon Facebook page. Please do not post personal information in public comments.

Browsing the website

Our hosting systems process technical information such as your IP address, requested pages, browser details and request times to deliver the website, diagnose faults and protect it against misuse. These activities support our legitimate interests in operating a reliable, secure website. Hosting providers process this information on our behalf.

Optional videos and social platforms

Video and chat players remain unloaded until you choose to enable them. The relevant platform then receives connection information and may use cookies or similar technology, including for measurement, personalisation or advertising under its own policies. You can leave the player unloaded and use the ordinary external link instead. External platforms may process information outside the UK. See Cookies & media choices for controls and platform policies.

Messages and enquiries

If you contact Rob, the information you provide is used to answer your enquiry and manage the resulting conversation. The social platform you use also processes that message under its own terms. Please only send information needed for your enquiry.

Keeping information

Enquiries are kept for as long as needed to handle the conversation and any related issue. Technical records follow the hosting provider’s operational and security retention settings.

Your rights

Depending on the circumstances, you can request access, correction, deletion or restriction of your personal information, object to its use, or request portability. Where processing relies on consent, you can withdraw it. Contact Rob using the link above. You may also complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office.
