Data Controller
The data controller responsible for the processing of your personal information collected on this website is Rowan & Vale Publishing Ltd. If you have any inquiries regarding data protection practices, you can direct your questions to our privacy administration team via our designated contact channels.
Legal framework
We process your information in accordance with UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018 alongside the wider legal requirements of United Kingdom. If our policy ever conflicts with statutory law, legal statute always comes first.
Data Collected
We collect personal details that you voluntarily submit to us, such as your name and email address when you use our contact form or subscribe to our newsletter. In addition, our web infrastructure automatically logs standard technical metadata, including your IP address, browser type, operating system, and referring URL, alongside aggregate analytics cookies if permitted.
Purposes and Legal Basis for Processing
We process your information to deliver and maintain our website, respond to incoming correspondence, analyze readership patterns, and defend against malicious server activity. The legal grounds for this processing include our legitimate business interest in operating an informative publication, compliance with statutory obligations, and your explicit consent where requested.
Storage Period
Personal information received through contact inquiries is retained only as long as necessary to resolve your communication, typically up to twelve months. Technical access server logs are routinely purged after a brief security retention cycle, and analytics logs are held in anonymized form in alignment with our operational review schedules.
Third-Party Services
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to outside marketers. We only disclose basic operational data to vetted technical processors, including web hosting providers, analytics platforms, and email transmission services, all of whom are bound by confidentiality terms and strict data security obligations.
Your Rights
Depending on your residency, you possess explicit legal rights regarding your personal information, including the right to request access, rectification, or deletion of your records. You may also object to processing, restrict usage, withdraw consent at any time, or submit an official complaint to your local supervisory data protection authority.
