This privacy policy explains how Stoutmark Media Ltd. collects and handles personal data when you use this website. It applies to all visitors, including those who contact us or read articles without submitting any information.
Stoutmark Media Ltd. is the data controller responsible for personal data collected through this website, and any questions about how your data is handled can be directed to the contact details published on our contact page.
Personal data is handled under UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018 and any other rules in force in United Kingdom. If this policy and the law conflict, the law wins.
We collect information you voluntarily provide through the contact form, such as your name and email address, along with standard server logs that record IP address, browser type, and pages visited, and, if you consent, analytics cookies that track general usage patterns on the site. We do not collect sensitive health information about individual readers, and we do not require registration to read articles.
Contact form data is processed to respond to your inquiry, based on your consent given at the time of submission, while server logs are processed under our legitimate interest in maintaining site security and performance. Analytics cookies are only activated with your consent and are used to understand which content is useful to readers so we can improve future articles.
Contact form submissions are retained only as long as needed to address your inquiry and are deleted or anonymized afterward unless a longer retention period is required for legal reasons, while server logs are typically kept for a limited period for security monitoring before being purged. Analytics data is stored according to the retention settings of our analytics provider, which we configure to avoid unnecessarily long storage of visitor information.
We rely on a third-party analytics provider to process usage data once consent is given, and that provider processes data according to its own privacy policy and applicable data protection agreements with Stoutmark Media Ltd. We do not sell or rent personal data to advertisers, and we do not share contact form submissions with third parties except where required by law.
Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the right to access, correct, or request deletion of personal data we hold about you, as well as the right to withdraw consent for analytics cookies at any time through the consent banner. To exercise these rights, contact Stoutmark Media Ltd. using the details provided on our contact page, and we will respond within a reasonable timeframe consistent with applicable law.
