What we collect
Information you send us directly — an email address, a correction request, a message — and limited technical information generated by visiting the site, such as browser and device type, referring page, approximate region, pages viewed and timestamps.
How it is used
To operate and secure the site, to answer messages, to understand which reviews are read, to prevent abuse, and to meet legal obligations. Correction requests and reader messages are not used to build advertising profiles and are not sold.
Cookies and analytics
Essential cookies support authentication for the editorial dashboard and remember preferences. Aggregate analytics may be used to measure traffic. Where consent is required by law, optional technologies are subject to a consent control.
Sharing
Limited information may be processed by hosting, security, analytics and email providers acting on our behalf, or disclosed where reasonably necessary to comply with law or protect rights and safety. We do not sell personal information.
Retention, security and your rights
Information is kept only as long as it is needed for the purpose it was collected for, plus any period the law requires. Reasonable technical and organisational safeguards are used, though no online service can promise absolute security.
Depending on where you live you may have the right to request access, correction, deletion, restriction, portability or objection. We may need to verify your identity, and some records may be retained where law or the public record requires it.
Children and changes
This site is aimed at business readers and is not directed at children. If this policy changes, the updated date at the top identifies the current version.
