This policy explains how The Everyday Upside (“we”, “us”) collects and uses personal information when you visit theeverydayupside.co.uk . We take your privacy seriously and only collect what we need.
Who we are
The Everyday Upside is a website about saving money, earning extra income and everyday tools and ideas. For any privacy question, please use our contact page.
What we collect and why
- Contact form: your name, email address and message, so we can reply to you. Our lawful basis is legitimate interests.
- Email newsletter: your email address (and name, if you give it), so we can send you the updates you asked for. Our lawful basis is your consent, and you can unsubscribe at any time using the link in every email.
- Comments: if comments are enabled and you leave one, we store your name, email address, comment and IP address to help with spam detection.
- Usage data: basic technical information such as your browser type, device and pages visited, collected through cookies and server logs to keep the site working and understand how it’s used.
Cookies
We use essential cookies to make the site work. We may also use analytics cookies to understand how visitors use the site, and affiliate partners may set cookies when you click their links so that a purchase can be credited to us. Where cookies are not essential, we’ll ask for your consent first. You can also control cookies through your browser settings.
Who we share data with
We don’t sell your personal information. We share it only with service providers who help us run the site, such as our web host (Hostinger) and our email service, and only as needed to provide those services. Some of these providers may process data outside the UK; where they do, appropriate safeguards are in place.
How long we keep it
We keep contact form messages for as long as needed to deal with your enquiry, and newsletter details until you unsubscribe. Comments are kept until they are removed.
Your rights
Under UK data protection law you have the right to access, correct or delete your personal data, to object to or restrict how we use it, to data portability, and to withdraw consent at any time. To exercise any of these rights, please contact us. If you’re unhappy with how we’ve handled your data, you can complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office at ico.org.uk.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with a new “last updated” date.
