Under UK data protection law, we need a lawful basis for processing personal information.

Depending on the circumstances, we may rely upon:

Consent

Where you have actively agreed to a particular use of your information, such as certain optional cookies or marketing communications.

Where processing is based on consent, you may withdraw that consent.

We may process information where reasonably necessary for legitimate interests such as operating, protecting and improving Men Rewritten, provided those interests are not overridden by your rights and interests.

Legal Obligation

We may process information where necessary to comply with a legal obligation.

Contract

If Men Rewritten later offers products or services, certain personal information may need to be processed in order to fulfil a contract with you or take steps at your request before entering into one.

The appropriate lawful basis depends upon the specific processing activity.

5. Contact Forms

When you contact Men Rewritten through a website form, we may receive the information you enter into that form.

We use this information primarily to:

read your message, respond to your enquiry and manage relevant correspondence.

We do not sell contact-form information to third parties.

Information submitted through the contact form should be retained only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, including any legitimate administrative or legal requirements.

6. Cookies

Men Rewritten may use cookies and similar technologies.

Cookies are small files stored on your device that can help websites function, remember preferences and understand how visitors interact with a site.

Some cookies may be strictly necessary for the website to operate.

Others may be used for purposes such as:

Analytics
Website preferences
Embedded third-party content
Performance
Advertising, if introduced in the future

Where consent is legally required, non-essential cookies should not be activated until the appropriate consent has been obtained.

You can find more information in our separate Cookie Policy.

Current ICO guidance requires websites to provide clear information about cookies and, subject to applicable exemptions, obtain appropriate consent for cookies that aren't strictly necessary.

7. Analytics

Men Rewritten may use analytics services to understand how visitors interact with the website.

Depending on the service used, analytics information may include:

pages visited,

approximate visit duration,

device and browser information,

traffic sources,

and general usage patterns.

This information can help us understand which content readers find useful and improve the website.

Where analytics technologies require consent, they should only operate after the appropriate consent has been provided.

Important before publishing: if you activate Google Analytics, Hostinger analytics or another analytics service, this section should be updated to identify the service actually being used.

8. Email Communications

If Men Rewritten introduces an email newsletter or similar service, we will explain what you are signing up for when your information is collected.

Where required, marketing emails will only be sent with an appropriate lawful basis.

You will be able to unsubscribe from marketing communications using the unsubscribe option provided in those communications.

Unsubscribing from marketing does not necessarily prevent essential administrative communications relating to a service you have requested.

9. How We Share Information

We do not sell your personal information.

We may share limited information with third parties where reasonably necessary to operate Men Rewritten.

These may include service providers involved in:

Website hosting
Website security
Analytics
Email delivery
Contact-form processing
Technical support
Data storage
Payment processing, if commercial products are introduced

These organisations may process information on our behalf or for their own stated purposes, depending upon the service.

We may also disclose information where required by law, regulation, court order or another legitimate legal process.

10. Website Hosting

Men Rewritten uses third-party infrastructure and hosting services to operate the website.

These providers may process limited technical information necessary to deliver, secure and maintain the website.

Their handling of personal information is subject to their own contractual and privacy arrangements.

11. International Data Transfers

Some service providers used by Men Rewritten may process or store information outside the United Kingdom.

Where personal information is transferred internationally, appropriate safeguards should be used where required by applicable data protection law.

The exact arrangements depend upon the service providers used by the website.

12. How Long We Keep Personal Information

We do not intend to retain personal information indefinitely.

Retention periods depend on:

Why the information was collected
Whether it is still needed
Legal or regulatory requirements
Security considerations
The nature of our relationship with you

Information should be deleted or anonymised when it is no longer reasonably required, subject to applicable legal obligations.

The ICO specifically identifies retention periods as information that needs to be addressed in a privacy notice.

13. Keeping Information Secure

We take reasonable measures intended to protect personal information against:

unauthorised access,

loss,

misuse,

alteration,

and inappropriate disclosure.

However, no internet-based system can guarantee absolute security.

You should also take reasonable precautions when communicating or sharing information online.

14. Your Data Protection Rights

Depending upon the circumstances and applicable law, you may have rights concerning your personal information.

These can include rights to:

Access personal information held about you.

Correct inaccurate or incomplete information.

Request deletion of personal information in certain circumstances.

Restrict processing in certain circumstances.

Object to processing in certain circumstances.

Data portability where applicable.

Withdraw consent where processing relies upon your consent.

Not every right applies in every circumstance.

alex@menrewritten

We may need to verify your identity before responding to certain requests.

15. Complaints

If you have concerns about how Men Rewritten handles your personal information, please contact us first so we have an opportunity to address the issue.

You may also have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO), the UK's independent data protection regulator.

Information Commissioner's Office

The ICO specifically says UK privacy information should tell people about their right to complain to a supervisory authority and, for UK organisations or those regularly collecting UK residents' data, identify the ICO.

16. External Links

Men Rewritten articles may contain links to third-party websites.

We are not responsible for the privacy practices, security or content of external websites.

When you leave Men Rewritten and visit another website, you should review that site's privacy information where appropriate.

17. Children's Privacy

Men Rewritten is intended primarily for an adult audience.

We do not intentionally design the website to collect personal information from children.

If we become aware that personal information relating to a child has been collected inappropriately, we will take reasonable steps to address the situation.

18. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy as Men Rewritten develops, new website functionality is introduced or legal requirements change.

The Last Updated date at the top of this page will be amended when appropriate.

Visitors are encouraged to review this page periodically.

The ICO recommends regularly reviewing privacy information and updating it when processing practices change.
