What we collect, which is very little, and what we do with it

The newsletter list, the lawful basis, retention, and your rights under UK data protection law.

What we collect

If you subscribe to the dispatch, we hold your email address, the date you subscribed, the country code your request arrived with, and which form you used. That is the whole record.

We do not ask for your name. We do not build a profile. We do not enrich your address against other datasets. We do not track you across other websites.

Lawful basis

Consent. You gave it by entering your address and submitting the form, and you can withdraw it at any time using the unsubscribe link in every issue or by writing to us. Withdrawing consent removes your address from the list.

What we use it for

Sending the dispatch. Nothing else. We do not sell, rent or share the list. We do not send mailings on behalf of sponsors, and sponsorship of the newsletter does not give a sponsor any access to the list. That commitment is also written into the rate card limits.

Retention

We keep your address until you unsubscribe, or until the list is closed. Unsubscribing removes the record. We keep a minimal suppression record where required so that an unsubscribed address is not re added by mistake.

Your rights

Under UK data protection law you have the right to be informed, of access, to rectification, to erasure, to restrict processing, to data portability, and to object. Because we hold only an email address given with consent, most of these resolve to a single action: tell us and we will remove it.

To exercise any right, write to editorial [at] skinsideruk.com. If you are not satisfied with our response you can complain to the Information Commissioner's Office.

Cookies and analytics

This site sets no advertising cookies and runs no advertising or affiliate tracking, because we run no advertising and take no affiliate commission. Fonts are loaded from a third party font service, which will receive your request for those files as a technical necessity of serving them.

We link to regulators, legislation and the scientific literature. Those sites have their own privacy practices and we are not responsible for them. All our external links are nofollow.

Changes

If this policy changes materially we will say so in the dispatch rather than updating it quietly. The page carries the date of last review in the footer.

This article contains no commercial links. No affiliate links, no sponsored placements and no paid mentions appear anywhere on this site. No brand, manufacturer, retailer or agency is named in our editorial, and no company that pays us can appear in it. Published by Northbank Media.

The dispatch

One email a fortnight. A new translation, a mechanism explained, and what changed in the rules. No product recommendations, because we do not make any. No affiliate links, because we do not take commission. Unsubscribe in one click.

We use your address to send the dispatch and nothing else. See privacy. Sponsorship rates and limits are published on the newsletter page.
