Privacy Policy

Data Controller

The designated data controller responsible for personal data processed via this website is Brindlefield Media Ltd., a registered company in the United Kingdom. Inquiries regarding data protection, access requests, or rectification should be submitted to [email protected].

Legal Framework

All personal information is collected, processed, and maintained in accordance with the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR), the Data Protection Act 2018, and the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR).

Data We Collect

We collect data in two ways: information you submit voluntarily (such as your name, email address, topic suggestions, and inquiry text submitted via our contact forms) and technical log information automatically generated by your HTTP requests (including anonymized IP addresses, browser headers, referring URLs, and timestamps for security auditing).

Purposes and Legal Basis

We process communications data on the basis of consent and legitimate interests to answer editorial feedback and questions. Technical access logs are processed under our legitimate interest in securing server infrastructure against unauthorized access and denial-of-service attempts. Analytics telemetry is only activated upon your explicit consent via our cookie preferences banner.

Storage & Retention

Contact inquiries are securely retained only as long as necessary to complete your inquiry, after which they are archived or permanently erased. Server security logs are automatically rotated and purged on a 30-day cycle.

Third-Party Processors

We do not sell, rent, or trade reader personal information to third parties. Anonymized performance telemetry may be processed through GDPR-compliant hosting and analytics providers bound by data processing addenda.

Your Statutory Rights

Under UK data protection laws, you maintain the right to access your personal data, rectify inaccuracies, request erasure ('right to be forgotten'), restrict processing, and withdraw consent at any time without detriment. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO).
