This Privacy Policy explains how Tarelova Dispatch (“we”, “us”, or “the publication”) collects, uses, stores, and protects personal information provided by visitors to this website at tarelova.info.

We are committed to handling personal information responsibly and in accordance with applicable data protection law, including the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018. By using this website, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this policy.

If you have questions about how your information is handled, please contact us at [email protected] or write to us at 56 Lamb’s Conduit Street, W1B 5QD London, United Kingdom.

2. Information We Collect

We collect personal information only when it is voluntarily submitted or automatically generated through your use of the website. The categories of personal information we may collect include:

Contact form submissions: Name, email address, and the content of messages sent via our contact form. A subject category may also be collected if selected.
Technical data: IP address, browser type and version, operating system, referring URL, pages visited, and time of visit. This data is collected automatically by our web server and analytics tools.
Cookie data: Information stored in browser cookies, as described in our Cookie Policy. This may include session identifiers, preference settings, and anonymised usage statistics.
Correspondence: When you write to us by email or post, we retain records of that correspondence, including any personal information contained within it.

We do not collect sensitive personal data, financial information, or data relating to minors. We do not knowingly collect information from individuals under the age of 16.

3. How We Use Your Information

Personal information is used only for the purposes for which it was collected. Our lawful bases for processing under UK GDPR are legitimate interest (for website processing and correspondence), consent (for non-essential cookies), and contract (where we have agreed to provide a service).

The specific uses are as follows:

  • To respond to enquiries submitted via the contact form or by email.
  • To maintain and improve the processing and performance of the website.
  • To understand how readers engage with content, in order to inform editorial decisions.
  • To comply with legal obligations, where applicable.
  • To protect the security and integrity of the website and its visitors.

We do not use personal information for automated decision-making or profiling. We do not sell, rent, or otherwise transfer personal data to third parties for their own marketing purposes.

4. Data Sharing and Processors

We share personal data only with trusted third-party processors who assist in the processing of the website, and only to the extent necessary for those purposes. All processors are bound by data processing agreements consistent with UK GDPR requirements.

Categories of processors may include:

  • Web hosting and infrastructure providers
  • Analytics providers (anonymised data where possible)
  • Email infrastructure providers (for responding to contact form submissions)

We do not transfer personal data outside the United Kingdom or European Economic Area unless appropriate safeguards are in place, such as standard contractual clauses approved under UK GDPR.

5. Data Retention

We retain personal information only for as long as is necessary to fulfil the purpose for which it was collected, or as required by applicable law. Contact form submissions and email correspondence are retained for a period of up to 24 months from the date of last contact, after which they are securely deleted.

Technical and analytical data is retained in aggregated, anonymised form indefinitely. Cookie data is retained for the periods specified in our Cookie Policy. Where personal data is retained for legal compliance purposes, it will be held for the minimum period required by the relevant legislation.

6. Your Rights

Under UK GDPR, you have the following rights in relation to personal data we hold about you:

Right of Access

To request a copy of the personal data we hold about you.

Right of Rectification

To request correction of inaccurate or incomplete personal data.

Right of Erasure

To request deletion of your personal data, subject to legal retention obligations.

Right to Object

To object to the processing of your personal data where we rely on legitimate interest.

Right to Portability

To receive your personal data in a structured, machine-readable format.

Right to Withdraw Consent

To withdraw consent at any time where processing is based on consent (e.g., non-essential cookies).

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at [email protected]. We will respond within 30 calendar days. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) at ico.org.uk if you believe your rights have not been respected.

7. Security

We implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect personal information against unauthorised access, loss, or alteration. These include encrypted data transmission via HTTPS, access controls limiting who can view stored personal data, and regular review of our data handling procedures.

While we take reasonable steps to protect information, no data transmission over the internet is entirely secure. We cannot guarantee the absolute security of information submitted to us electronically, and any such transmission is made at your own risk.

8. Cookies

This website uses cookies to support its processing and to understand how readers engage with content. Cookies are small text files placed on your device. Some cookies are strictly necessary for the website to function; others are used for analytics and preference storage and require your consent before being set.

For a detailed explanation of the cookies we use, their purposes, and how to manage your preferences, please refer to our Cookie Policy. You can update your cookie preferences at any time using the Cookie Settings link in the footer.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or applicable law. The “Last updated” date at the top of the page will reflect any revision. Continued use of the website after a revised policy is published constitutes acceptance of the updated terms.

Where changes are material, we will take reasonable steps to bring them to your attention, which may include a notice on the website homepage.
