GDPR Compliance Statement

Last Updated: 20 February 2026

We are committed to protecting the privacy and personal data of all users who interact with our website. This GDPR Compliance Statement explains how we meet the requirements of the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR), the EU General Data Protection Regulation (EU GDPR), and applicable international privacy standards.

This statement should be read together with our full Privacy Policy, which provides detailed information about the data we collect and how we use it.

  1. Lawful, Fair, and Transparent Processing

We process personal data only when we have a lawful basis to do so, including:

  • Consent (newsletter sign‑ups, user‑submitted content)
  • Legitimate interest (responding to editorial enquiries, maintaining website functionality)

We clearly explain what data we collect and why, and we never use personal data for purposes that are incompatible with those stated.

  1. Data Minimisation

We only collect the minimum amount of personal information necessary to:

  • Send newsletters
  • Respond to contact form enquiries
  • Review and publish user‑submitted content

We do not collect unnecessary or sensitive personal data.

  1. Accuracy of Data

We take reasonable steps to ensure that personal data is accurate and up to date. Users may request corrections at any time.

  1. Storage and Security

We store personal data securely using reputable hosting and email service providers. We implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect data from:

  • Unauthorised access
  • Loss
  • Misuse
  • Alteration
  1. Data Retention

We retain personal data only for as long as necessary:

  • Newsletter data: until the user unsubscribes
  • Contact form enquiries: up to 12 months
  • User‑submitted content: indefinitely unless removal is requested
  1. International Data Transfers

If personal data is transferred outside the UK or EU (for example, through our email service provider), we ensure appropriate safeguards such as:

  • Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs)
  • Adequacy decisions
  • Secure processing agreements

These measures ensure your data receives equivalent protection internationally.

  1. Your GDPR Rights

Under UK and EU GDPR, you have the right to:

  • Access your personal data
  • Request correction
  • Request deletion
  • Withdraw consent
  • Object to processing
  • Request data portability

We respond to all GDPR‑related requests within the legally required timeframe.

  1. Consent for User‑Submitted Content

If you submit text, images, or other materials to us, you grant us a non‑exclusive, worldwide, royalty‑free licence to use, publish, edit, and display that content on our website and associated platforms.

You confirm that you own the rights to the content or have permission to submit it.

You may request removal of your content at any time.
