We may use Google Analytics or similar analytics services to understand how visitors use our website and to help us improve its content, performance and functionality.

Analytics services may collect information such as pages visited, approximate geographic information, device information, browser information and interactions with the website.

Those third parties process information according to their own privacy policies. You should review the privacy information provided by the relevant third party where appropriate.

12. Who may process your information

We do not sell your personal information.

However, operating a website necessarily involves certain service providers processing information on our behalf or providing services that interact with the website.

Depending on which features are active on the website, these may include:

• website hosting and infrastructure providers;
• website security and spam-prevention providers;
• analytics providers;
• email or newsletter service providers;
• website software and technical service providers; and
• third-party providers whose content or functionality is embedded in our website.

We aim to use service providers that provide appropriate safeguards for personal information and only permit them to process information for legitimate purposes connected with the services they provide.

13. International transfers

Some service providers we use may process information in countries outside the United Kingdom or European Economic Area.

Where personal information is transferred internationally, we will take appropriate steps to ensure that the transfer is carried out in accordance with applicable data protection law and that appropriate safeguards are in place where required.

14. How long we keep information

We keep personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, including where necessary for legal, accounting, security or dispute-resolution purposes.

To make a privacy or data protection request, please use our Contact page and put "Data Protection Request" in the subject line.

Please tell us what you are requesting and provide sufficient information for us to identify the relevant information or account.

We may need to verify your identity before fulfilling certain requests. This is a security measure designed to prevent personal information being disclosed to the wrong person.

17. Complaints

If you are in the UK and believe that we have not handled your personal information properly, you have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO).

If you are located in the European Economic Area, you may also have the right to complain to the data protection supervisory authority in the country where you live, work or where you believe an infringement occurred.

We would appreciate the opportunity to address your concerns before you make a formal complaint, but you are not required to contact us first.

18. United States privacy rights

Privacy laws in the United States vary between states. Where applicable, residents of certain US states may have additional rights concerning their personal information.

Depending on the law that applies to you, these rights may include the right to:

• know or access categories of personal information collected about you;
• request deletion of personal information;
• request correction of inaccurate personal information;
• opt out of certain sales or sharing of personal information;
• opt out of certain targeted advertising or profiling activities;
• limit certain uses of sensitive personal information where applicable; and
• receive equal treatment when exercising applicable privacy rights.

We do not sell personal information for money.

If you believe a US state privacy law gives you a right that applies to your circumstances, you can contact us using the method described above. We will process the request in accordance with applicable law.

19. Children's privacy

Style Review is intended for a general audience and is not directed specifically at children.

We do not knowingly request or intentionally collect personal information from children where doing so would be prohibited by applicable law.

If you believe that a child has provided personal information to us inappropriately, please contact us so that we can investigate and, where appropriate, delete the information.

20. Security

We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect personal information against unauthorised access, loss, misuse, alteration or disclosure.

These measures may include access controls, secure hosting, encryption where appropriate, software security measures, backups and monitoring.

However, no method of transmitting or storing information online can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
