How We Use Your Information
We use the information described above for the following purposes:
To operate and maintain the website, ensuring pages load correctly and content displays as intended across devices and browsers. To analyse how visitors use our content so that we can improve article quality, site structure and navigation. To monitor site performance, identify technical errors and protect against misuse or unauthorised access. To comply with legal obligations under UK law, including responding to lawful requests from regulatory bodies or law enforcement where required.
Legal Basis for Processing
Under the UK GDPR, we process personal data on the following legal bases. Legitimate interests: we process analytics and server log data to understand how our content is used and to maintain site security. This processing is proportionate and does not override your rights. Consent: where we use non-essential cookies or tracking technologies, we obtain your consent before setting them, as described in our Cookie Policy. Legal obligation: we may process data where required to comply with UK law.
Data Sharing
We do not sell, rent or trade your personal information to third parties. We may share data with the following categories of service providers who process data on our behalf: hosting providers who store our website files and deliver pages to your browser, analytics services that help us understand visitor behaviour in aggregate form, and security services that protect the site from malicious activity. All third-party processors are bound by data processing agreements and are required to handle your data in accordance with applicable data protection law.
Data Retention
Server logs are retained for no longer than 90 days before being automatically deleted. Analytics data is held in aggregated, non-identifiable form and retained for up to 26 months. If you contact us directly, we retain your correspondence for as long as reasonably necessary to address your enquiry and then delete it.
Your Rights
Under the UK GDPR, you have the right to access the personal data we hold about you, to request correction of inaccurate data, to request deletion of your data where there is no compelling reason for continued processing, to object to processing based on legitimate interests, to request restriction of processing in certain circumstances, and to data portability where applicable. You also have the right to withdraw consent at any time where processing is based on consent, without affecting the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal.
To exercise any of these rights, you may contact us using the details provided at the bottom of this page. We will respond to your request within one calendar month, as required by law.
International Transfers
Some of our service providers may process data outside the United Kingdom. Where this occurs, we ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place, such as standard contractual clauses approved by the UK Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO), or transfers to countries that have received an adequacy decision.
