Privacy Policy

Last Updated: June 2026

At Weekly Record, safeguarding your digital privacy is a fundamental priority. This comprehensive Privacy Policy outlines the specific types of personal information received and collected by our website, how we process it, and the rigorous steps we take to protect your data in compliance with UK GDPR and global data protection standards.

1. Information We Collect

We believe in data minimisation. We only collect the information absolutely necessary to provide you with a high-quality reading experience:

  • Voluntary Information: When you subscribe to the Weekly Record Saturday Digest or fill out our contact form, we collect your name and email address. This data is provided by you voluntarily.
  • Technical & Analytics Data: Like almost all professional websites, we use standard, privacy-focused analytics tools. These tools collect non-personally identifiable information such as browser type, operating system, referring pages, and aggregated geographic locations (e.g., city or country) to help us understand general readership trends.

2. How We Use Your Data

The information we collect is strictly used for operational and editorial purposes. Specifically, we use your data to:

  • Deliver our weekly newsletter directly to your inbox.
  • Respond to your direct inquiries, pitches, or feedback submitted via our contact forms.
  • Analyse overall website performance to improve page speed, readability, and content delivery.

We absolutely do not sell, rent, lease, or trade your personal data to any third-party advertisers, data brokers, or corporate entities under any circumstances.

3. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

Weekly Record uses minimal cookies to ensure the website functions correctly. Cookies are small text files stored on your device that help us remember your site preferences (such as dark/light mode preferences or dismissing notification banners) and secure our contact forms against automated spam bots.

You have full control over these cookies and can choose to disable or clear them at any time through your browser’s privacy settings without losing access to our free content.

4. Data Retention & Security

We hold your personal data (such as newsletter subscriptions) only for as long as you wish to remain on our mailing list. Our website uses secure SSL (Secure Socket Layer) encryption to ensure that any data transmitted between your browser and our servers remains private and protected against interception.

5. Your Rights Under UK GDPR

As a publication operating in the United Kingdom, we adhere strictly to UK GDPR regulations. You possess absolute rights regarding your personal data:

  • Right to Access: You can request a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
  • Right to Rectification: You can request that we correct any inaccurate or incomplete data.
  • Right to Erasure (Right to be Forgotten): You can request the permanent deletion of your data from our servers and mailing lists at any time.
