Who controls your data
Turnstile Almanac Media Ltd, 27 Bramble Wharf, Marden Street, Salford, M5 4QJ, United Kingdom, is the controller of personal data described in this policy. Privacy enquiries may be sent to [email protected].
Information we collect
We collect information that you choose to send through the contact form or by email, including your name, email address, selected enquiry type, message and any information included in correspondence. Our hosting and security infrastructure may process technical records such as IP address, requested page, browser type, timestamps and error information. These records support delivery, fault diagnosis and protection against misuse.
The site stores a cookie-choice value in your browser’s local storage. Optional functional preferences are processed when you select them. We do not ask visitors to create an account, provide payment information or submit sensitive personal data.
Purposes and lawful bases
We process correspondence to answer enquiries and manage editorial corrections. The lawful basis is our legitimate interest in operating an editorial website and responding to readers, or steps requested before entering a contract where relevant. We process security records for our legitimate interests in maintaining service availability and preventing abuse. Where optional storage requires consent, consent is the lawful basis and may be withdrawn by changing or clearing the relevant browser storage.
Cookies and similar storage
Essential local storage remembers whether you accepted, rejected or opened cookie preferences. Functional storage may remember optional settings where enabled. The site does not load third-party analytics libraries. Further details, including categories and browser controls, appear in the cookie policy.
Processors and disclosures
Hosting, email and technical service providers may process limited personal data on our instructions. They are required to protect it and use it only for the contracted service. We may disclose information where required by law, to establish or defend legal rights, or to address fraud and security threats. We do not sell personal data.
A provider may process information outside the United Kingdom. Where restricted transfers occur, we use an applicable safeguard, such as an adequacy regulation or approved contractual clauses, together with relevant supplementary measures.
Retention
General correspondence is retained only while needed to answer the enquiry and maintain a reasonable record of the outcome, normally no longer than twenty-four months. Legal, security or dispute-related material may be kept longer where necessary. Technical logs are retained for shorter operational periods unless an incident requires further investigation. Browser storage remains on your device until it expires, is replaced or you clear it.
Your rights
Under the UK GDPR and Data Protection Act 2018, people may have rights to access, correct, erase or restrict personal data, object to processing, receive portable data and withdraw consent. Rights depend on the circumstances and may be subject to lawful exemptions. You may complain to the UK Information Commissioner’s Office.
Visitors in the European Economic Area may also contact their local supervisory authority under the EU GDPR. California residents may have rights under the CCPA and CPRA, including rights to know, correct or delete covered information and to receive equal service after exercising rights. We do not sell or share personal information for cross-context behavioural advertising.
Requests and changes
Send a request to the privacy email above. We may need proportionate information to confirm identity before disclosing or changing data. We will respond within the period required by applicable law. This policy may be updated when processing practices or legal requirements change; the version published on this page applies from publication.
