PRIVACY & COOKIES

1. Who we are

This policy explains how Business Newswire handles personal data when you visit business-newswire.co.uk. We take privacy seriously and collect as little as we can. You can contact us about anything in this policy.

2. What this website collects

Forms. The sign-up, log-in, password reset and contact forms on this website are checked in your browser. What you type is not sent to us or stored by this website. When you submit a form, you are shown a link to continue on our distribution platform.

Server logs. Like almost every website, our hosting provider records basic technical information when pages are requested, such as your IP address, browser type, the page requested and the time. These logs are used to keep the website secure and working, and are kept for a limited period.

No tracking. This website does not use analytics, advertising pixels or social media trackers.

3. Cookies

This website does not set cookies. Our fonts and scripts are served from our own domain, so no third-party service can set cookies through this website either.

Your browser may keep copies of our pages and images to load them faster. That cache stays on your device and you can clear it at any time in your browser settings.

If we ever add cookies that are not strictly necessary, we will ask for your consent first, as the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations require.

4. When you continue to our platform

Accounts, orders, payments and support are handled on our distribution platform. Anything you enter there is handled under the platform’s own privacy policy, which is shown on the platform.

Links from this website to the platform carry campaign tags (UTM parameters) that tell the platform which page you came from. These tags do not contain your personal data.

5. Our lawful basis

We process server log data on the basis of our legitimate interests in running a secure and reliable website, under Article 6(1)(f) of the UK GDPR.

6. Sharing and international transfers

We do not sell personal data. Our hosting provider processes server logs on our behalf. If it stores data outside the UK, the transfer is protected by safeguards recognised under UK data protection law, such as the International Data Transfer Agreement or an adequacy decision.

7. Your rights

Under the UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018 you have the right to:

• access the personal data we hold about you;
• have inaccurate data corrected;
• have your data erased or its use restricted;
• object to processing based on legitimate interests;
• receive your data in a portable format, where that applies.

To use any of these rights, contact us. If you are unhappy with how we have handled your data, you can complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office at ico.org.uk or on 0303 123 1113.

8. Children

Our services are for businesses and are not intended for anyone under 18.

9. Changes to this policy

We will update this policy if the way we handle personal data changes. The date at the top shows when it was last revised.
