This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store and share your personal data when you interact with our website, subscribe to our newsletter, or contact us.

What personal data do we collect and why?
We collect personal data you provide directly, such as your name and email address when you subscribe to our newsletter or email us. We also automatically collect technical data through cookies, including your IP address and browsing behaviour. For more on cookies, see our cookie policy.
The lawful bases for processing vary. For newsletter subscriptions, we rely on your consent and the performance of a contract to deliver the service via our newsletter. For analytics and advertising, we rely on your consent (via cookie consent) or our legitimate interest in improving our website and understanding our audience. We retain newsletter subscriber data until you unsubscribe; correspondence data for up to two years after last contact; and analytics data in anonymised form for up to 14 months. Advertising and affiliate tracking cookies are managed through your consent preferences.
Do we share your personal data with third parties?
We do not sell your personal data to anyone. We share it only with trusted service providers who process it on our behalf, such as our email delivery platform, web hosting provider and analytics services.
These processors are contractually bound to protect your data and may only use it for the specific purposes we instruct. We remain responsible for their compliance. We may also disclose data if required by law or to protect our legal rights. No third party is authorised to use your data for their own purposes.
What are your rights under UK GDPR?
You have the right to access, correct, delete or restrict the processing of your personal data. You also have the right to data portability and to object to processing, including for direct marketing.
To exercise any of these rights, please email privacy@britainnow.uk. We will respond within 30 days. We may ask for proof of identity. You can also unsubscribe from our newsletter at any time using the link in each email. For data portability requests we will provide your data in a machine-readable format.
How can you complain about our use of your data?
If you are unhappy with how we handle your personal data, you have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO), the UK’s data protection regulator.
We encourage you to contact us first at privacy@britainnow.uk so we can resolve any concerns. You can also contact the ICO via their website at https://ico.org.uk/. Please note that we do not have a formally appointed Data Protection Officer; for all privacy queries, please contact us directly using the details above.
