Privacy
How we handle personal information for this site and its local newsletters.
Who we are
PostcodePress is run by Hillclear Ventures Limited, a company registered in England and Wales with company number 09449834.
What we collect
When you subscribe to a local newsletter, we collect your email address, the publication you asked to receive, and the subscription status needed to send or stop that publication.
When you use the site, we may process standard technical information such as request times, pages visited, IP address, browser type, and device information. The site also uses Google Analytics to help us understand aggregate site usage.
How we use personal information
- To send the local newsletters you requested.
- To manage subscriptions, unsubscribe requests, and mailing-list records.
- To keep the site working, investigate errors, and protect the service from misuse.
- To understand which pages are useful, using analytics reports.
Our lawful basis
We use consent to send newsletter emails. You can withdraw that consent at any time by using an unsubscribe link or the unsubscribe page for the relevant publication.
We use legitimate interests for essential site operation, security, troubleshooting, and basic service improvement, where those interests are not overridden by your rights.
Who we share information with
We use Brevo to manage mailing lists and send emails. We use Google Analytics for website measurement. We may also use hosting, infrastructure, and professional service providers where they are needed to operate the site and the business.
We do not sell subscriber email addresses.
How long we keep information
We keep subscription records while you are subscribed. If you unsubscribe, we keep enough information to respect that request and avoid sending the same publication again unless you resubscribe.
Technical logs and analytics data are kept only for as long as they are useful for operating, securing, and improving the service.
Your rights
You can ask for access to your personal information, correction, deletion, restriction, objection, or portability where the law gives you those rights. You can also complain to the Information Commissioner's Office if you are unhappy with how we handle your information.
