Privacy Policy

Information We Collect

Britwave Journal collects information that helps us understand how readers engage with our content and improve the overall user experience. This may include standard technical data such as IP addresses, browser type, device information, and pages visited. We may also gather voluntary information that users provide directly, such as when subscribing to newsletters or submitting contact requests. All information collected is handled responsibly and used solely for the purposes detailed in this policy, with no intent to identify individual users unless legally required.

How We Use Your Information

The information we collect is used to enhance site performance, deliver relevant content, and support the smooth functioning of Britwave Journal. Analytical data enables us to understand audience interests, improve article quality, and tailor features to reader preferences. When users provide contact details, these may be used to send updates or respond to enquiries. We do not sell personal information to third parties. All usage aligns with applicable UK data protection regulations and is focused on maintaining a safe, efficient, and engaging platform.

Data Protection & Security

Britwave Journal is committed to maintaining robust security measures to protect user information from unauthorised access, loss, or misuse. We employ industry-standard safeguards, including encrypted data transmission where appropriate and secure server environments. Although no system can guarantee absolute security, we continually review and update our practices to minimise risks. Users should also take reasonable steps to protect their own information, such as using secure networks and keeping their devices updated.

Data Sharing & Third Parties

We may work with trusted third-party service providers who assist with analytics, website hosting, or technical operations. These partners are granted access only to the information necessary for them to perform their functions and are obligated to maintain strict confidentiality. Britwave Journal does not share personal information with advertisers or sell data for marketing purposes. Any disclosure required by law, such as to comply with legal obligations or respond to lawful requests, will be handled with transparency and care.

Your Rights & Choices

Users have several rights under UK data protection law, including the ability to access, correct, or request the deletion of personal data held by Britwave Journal. Individuals may also object to certain forms of data processing or withdraw consent where it has been previously given. We are committed to responding to these requests promptly and transparently. Readers who prefer not to receive communications from us may opt out at any time by following the instructions included in our emails or contacting us directly.

Data Retention

We retain user information only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy or to comply with legal obligations. Analytical data may be stored for a limited period to monitor site performance and support improvements. Personal details voluntarily submitted by users are retained only as long as needed to provide requested services. Once information is no longer required, it is securely deleted or anonymised to ensure continued protection and privacy.
