1. What Data We Collect

When you subscribe to the weekly briefing, we collect your email address, your selected topic preferences, and a record of your consent (including the timestamp). When you submit a sponsorship enquiry, we collect your name, company name, email address, and the content of your message. We also collect anonymised analytics data (page views, visitor counts, referrer information) via our analytics provider. This data does not include personally identifiable information.

2. How We Use Your Data

Your email address and topic preferences are used solely to deliver the weekly briefing to your inbox. We do not sell, rent, or share your personal data with third parties for marketing purposes. Sponsorship enquiry data is used only to respond to your enquiry. Anonymised analytics data is used to understand which content is most useful to our readers.

3. Data Retention

Subscriber data is retained for as long as your subscription is active. If you unsubscribe, your email address is marked as inactive and removed from delivery lists. You may request complete deletion of your data at any time by contacting us. Sponsorship enquiry data is retained for up to 12 months after the enquiry is resolved.

4. Cookies and Analytics

This site uses a privacy-respecting analytics tool (Umami) that does not use cookies and does not collect personally identifiable information. No third-party advertising cookies are used. The analytics data we collect is limited to page views, session counts, referrer domains, and device type — all in aggregated, anonymised form.

5. Your Rights

You have the right to access the personal data we hold about you, to correct inaccurate data, to request deletion of your data, and to withdraw consent for email communications at any time. To exercise any of these rights, please contact us via the Sponsor page (marking your message as a privacy request).

6. Data Security

Subscriber and lead data is stored in an encrypted database. Access is restricted to authorised personnel only. We use HTTPS for all data transmission. While we take reasonable precautions, no internet transmission is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

7. Changes to This Policy

We may update this privacy policy from time to time. Material changes will be noted with an updated "Last updated" date at the top of this page. Continued use of the site after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
