3.3 Data from third parties

A) Affiliate partners / tracking

If you click an affiliate link, third parties (operators, affiliate networks, tracking platforms) may process data to measure referrals and conversions. This may include:

• click timestamps, campaign IDs, referral URLs
• pseudonymous identifiers or device identifiers
• information that you later provide directly to the operator (governed by their privacy policy)

We do not control how third-party operators process your data on their sites.

B) Newsletter provider (Mailchimp)

We use Mailchimp to manage newsletter subscriptions and email delivery. Mailchimp may generate delivery and engagement reports (e.g., whether an email was delivered; and, if enabled, whether it was opened or links were clicked).

We use personal data to:

• provide, maintain and secure the website
• moderate comments, prevent abuse and enforce site rules
• send newsletters you requested and manage unsubscribes
• analyse website performance (GA4) and improve editorial content
• measure affiliate link performance (in aggregated or pseudonymous form)
• comply with legal obligations and protect our legal rights (e.g., handling claims, responding to lawful requests)

A) Consent

• Newsletter: when you subscribe, you give consent to receive emails from us. You can withdraw consent at any time by unsubscribing.
• Cookies: non-essential cookies (including analytics cookies) are used only if you consent (where required).

B) Legitimate interests

We may process data where it is necessary for our legitimate interests, such as:

• running and securing the website
• preventing spam and abuse in comments
• measuring and improving content performance

We always consider whether our interests are overridden by your rights and freedoms.

C) Legal obligation

Where processing is required to comply with applicable laws or lawful requests.

Note: We do not intentionally collect special category data (e.g., health data). Please do not include sensitive information in comments or messages.

6.1 What you will receive

If you subscribe, we may send you:

• content updates and editorial newsletters
• occasional announcements related to our website

6.2 Unsubscribing and withdrawal of consent

You can unsubscribe at any time by:

• using the “unsubscribe” link in any email, or
• contacting us at:

When you unsubscribe, we may keep a minimal record of your email address on a suppression list to ensure we do not send you further emails.

6.3 Email analytics

Our emails may use standard technologies such as tracking pixels and tagged links to measure delivery and engagement (e.g., opens/clicks), if enabled in our mailing setup. You can reduce tracking by disabling images in your email client or by unsubscribing.

7.1 What cookies are

Cookies are small text files stored on your device. Similar technologies include pixels and local storage.

7.2 Types of cookies we may use

A) Strictly necessary cookies

Used to enable core site functionality and security.

B) Analytics cookies (GA4)

Used to understand how the website is used and to improve content. These cookies are optional and (where required) will only be used after you consent.

C) Affiliate measurement

Affiliate links may involve tracking parameters and may cause third parties to set cookies on their websites. If we use affiliate cookies on our own site (where applicable), these are treated as non-essential and (where required) are used only after consent.

7.3 How to manage cookies

You can manage your cookie preferences:

• via our cookie settings panel: [link to cookie settings]
• via your browser settings (block/delete cookies)

Blocking cookies may affect parts of the website.

We share personal data only where necessary and only with trusted providers, including:

A) Service providers (processors)

Our processors are required to process data only on our instructions and apply appropriate security measures.

B) Legal and safety disclosures

We may disclose information if we reasonably believe it is necessary to:

• comply with law, regulation, legal process or lawful requests
• protect the rights, safety or property of users, the public, or our business.
• investigate fraud, abuse, or security incidents

C) Business transfers

If our business is sold, merged, or reorganised, personal data may be transferred as part of that transaction, subject to appropriate safeguards.

We are based in Poland (EEA). Some of our providers may process data outside the UK or EEA (for example in the United States).
Where a transfer is subject to restrictions under data protection law, we use appropriate safeguards (such as contractual safeguards approved for international transfers) to protect personal data.

We retain personal data only as long as necessary for the purposes in this Policy. Typical retention periods:

• Newsletter subscription data:
  kept until you unsubscribe, plus a minimal suppression record to prevent future sends.
• Comments:
  retained for as long as the comment remains published, unless you request deletion and there is no overriding reason to keep it (e.g., moderation history, legal claims). We may remove or anonymise comment-related data where appropriate.
• Contact messages:
  typically retained for up to 12–24 months after the last communication, unless longer retention is required for legal reasons.
• Security logs:
  typically retained for 6–12 months.
• GA4 analytics:
  retained according to our GA4 retention settings (typically up to 14 months).

We may retain anonymised or aggregated statistics for longer.

Subject to applicable law and certain exceptions, you may have the right to:

• access your personal data
• correct inaccurate personal data
• request deletion (erasure)
• restrict processing
• oobject to processing (especially where we rely on legitimate interests)
• data portability (in some cases)
• withdraw consent at any time (where processing is based on consent)

We use appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect personal data, including access controls and security monitoring. However, no system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

This website is intended for users aged 18+. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If you believe a child has provided personal data, please contact us and we will take appropriate steps.
