Sharing your data

We may share personal data with trusted service providers who help us operate the Site, for example:

These providers process personal data on our behalf under appropriate contractual terms.

We may also disclose information if required to do so by law, or to protect our rights and the safety of users.

Third-party links and embeds

Articles may include links to third-party websites (for example, publishers, storefronts, or other media).

Clicking those links means you are subject to the third party’s privacy practices.

If we embed third-party content (for example videos, social posts, or widgets), those providers may collect data through their own cookies and tracking technologies.

Affiliate links

Some links on the Site may be affiliate links. If you click an affiliate link, the third party may use cookies or similar tracking to record that the visit came from our Site.

This does not increase the price you pay, and we do not receive your payment details.

Some providers we use may store or process personal data outside the UK.

Where this happens, we use appropriate safeguards recognised under UK data protection law (for example, adequacy decisions or approved contractual protections).

We keep personal data only for as long as necessary:

Newsletter data: kept until you unsubscribe, or until we stop operating the newsletter, plus limited records where necessary to respect opt-out requests.

Contact messages: typically kept for up to 12 months after resolution, unless a longer period is needed for ongoing correspondence or record-keeping.

Analytics data: retained according to the settings of the analytics tool (commonly up to 14–26 months), if enabled.
