This policy explains what information PressBBC collects when you visit this website, why we collect it, and what rights you have over it.
When you read the site, our servers automatically record standard technical information: your IP address, browser type and version, operating system, referring page, the pages you view and the time of your visit. This is used to operate and secure the site and to understand aggregate readership.
If you contact us by email, we hold your message and address for as long as needed to deal with your enquiry and to keep a record of correspondence.
If you subscribe to a newsletter, we hold the email address you provide and a record of your consent until you unsubscribe.
We use cookies that are necessary for the site to function. We may also use analytics cookies to understand which articles are read and how visitors navigate the site, and advertising partners may set cookies where advertising is displayed. You can control or block cookies through your browser settings, though blocking essential cookies may affect how the site works.
We use third-party analytics services which process technical data on our behalf. Advertising, if displayed, may be served by third parties who process data under their own privacy policies. Embedded content from other websites, such as video players or social media posts, behaves as though you had visited that site directly.
Where data protection law applies, we process technical and analytics data on the basis of our legitimate interest in operating and improving the site, and newsletter data on the basis of your consent.
We do not sell personal information. We share data only with service providers who process it on our behalf, such as hosting, email delivery and analytics providers, and where we are legally required to disclose it.
Server logs are retained for a limited period for security and diagnostic purposes. Correspondence is retained for as long as it is relevant. Newsletter data is retained until you withdraw consent.
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to request a copy of the personal data we hold about you, to have it corrected or deleted, to object to or restrict processing, and to withdraw consent at any time. Requests should be sent to legal@pressbbc.com and we will respond within the period required by applicable law.
This site is not directed at children and we do not knowingly collect information from them.
We may update this policy. Material changes will be noted on this page.
Important: PressBBC is an independent publication. We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) or any of its services in any way.
