Privacy Policy

This policy explains what The Gadget Times (“we”, “us”) collects when you visitthegadgettimes.com, why, and what you can do about it. The site is run by The Gadget Times.

The short version

• You can read everything here without giving us any personal details.
• We do not run ads, analytics or tracking scripts.
• If you use the contact form, we keep your name, email and message so we can reply.
• Shops you visit through our links may set their own cookies.

What we collect

When you contact us

The contact form asks for your name, email address and message. We store these on our server and use them only to read and answer your message. We do not add you to a mailing list or pass your details to anyone.

Please do not include health information about yourself in a message. We cannot give personal medical advice, and we do not want to hold sensitive health data.

Server logs

Like most websites, our hosting provider may keep basic access logs: IP address, browser type, the page requested and the time. These are used to keep the site secure and working.

Fonts and images

Fonts and photos load from our own server, so your browser does not contact Google or other font services.

Affiliate links

Some links take you to online shops. When you click one, that shop may set a cookie so it knows we sent you, which is how we earn a commission. What the shop collects is covered by its own privacy policy, not this one. More in our cookie policy and affiliate disclosure.

Legal basis

Where data protection law such as the UK GDPR or EU GDPR applies, we handle contact messages on the basis of our legitimate interest in answering you, and server logs on the basis of keeping the site secure.

How long we keep it

Contact messages are kept for as long as needed to deal with your enquiry and then deleted, and in any case within 12 months. You can ask us to delete yours sooner.

Your rights

You can ask to see the personal data we hold about you, correct it, or delete it. You can also object to how we use it. Send your request through the contact page. If you are unhappy with our reply you can complain to your local data protection authority.

Children

This site is written for adults. We do not knowingly collect data from anyone under 16.

Changes

If we change this policy we will update the date at the top of the page.
