Poppy Sparkles · How this journal handles information
Privacy Policy
This policy explains how Poppy Sparkles handles personal information when you read our site, contact us or follow an affiliate link.
Controller and information we collect
Poppy Sparkles is the controller for this website. We may receive information you send by email, basic server logs, cookie and analytics information, and referral data associated with affiliate links. We do not ask for payment-card information.
Why we use information and lawful bases
We use information to reply to enquiries, maintain the site, understand aggregate readership, protect security and measure referral links. Our lawful bases are legitimate interests, consent where required for non-essential cookies, and taking steps requested by you before responding to an enquiry.
Cookies, analytics and affiliate links
Essential technical cookies may be needed to run the site. With consent where required, analytics may show aggregate usage. Affiliate links can set or read tracking identifiers on a merchant or network site so a referral can be measured; merchants and networks use their own notices and controls.
Sharing and international transfers
We may use hosting, analytics, email and affiliate-network providers that process data for us. Some providers may operate outside the UK or EEA. Where applicable, transfers use recognised safeguards such as adequacy decisions or contractual protections. We do not sell personal information.
Retention, rights and complaints
We retain enquiries only for as long as needed to respond and keep appropriate records; technical logs follow the provider retention period. You may ask for access, correction, erasure, restriction, objection or portability where the law provides. You can complain to the UK Information Commissioner’s Office.
Children, security and changes
The site is not directed at children. We use reasonable technical and organisational measures, but no internet transmission is completely secure. We may update this policy as the site changes and will post the current date on this page.
