Our Privacy Promise
(How we look after your details — in plain English)
We know how important your privacy is. You’re trusting us with your information, and we take that seriously. Here’s exactly what we collect, why we collect it, and what we do (and don’t do) with it.
Who we are
We’re UK Explorer – a small, independent team sharing stories, ideas and inspiration to help you explore Britain.
If you need to get in touch about anything privacy-related, you can always email us via the Contact Us page.
What we collect
- Your email address when you sign up for our newsletter.
- Your name and email address if you contact us directly.
- Basic website usage data (like which pages get visited), collected via cookies or analytics tools – purely to help us improve the site.
How we use your information
- To send you our monthly UK Explorer newsletter (if you’ve signed up).
- To reply to any messages you’ve kindly sent us.
- To better understand how people use the website, so we can keep making it useful and interesting.
What we don’t do
- We never, ever sell, trade or share your personal information with third parties for marketing or advertising.
- We don’t bombard you with spam or irrelevant emails.
- We don’t collect anything we don’t genuinely need.
How long we keep your data
We only keep your information for as long as we need it:
- While you’re subscribed to the newsletter, we’ll keep your email.
- If you unsubscribe, your email will be removed from our list.
- If you contact us directly, we’ll only keep your message as long as it’s needed.
Your rights
At any time, you can:
- Unsubscribe from our newsletter (every email includes a link).
- Ask us what data we hold about you.
- Ask us to correct or delete your information.
Just drop us a line via the Contact Us page and we’ll be happy to help.
Keeping things safe
We store your data securely using trusted providers. We do everything we reasonably can to protect your information.
Cookies & analytics
Like most websites, we use cookies and basic analytics to see how people use the site (things like page visits, traffic sources, and device types). This helps us make the site better, but doesn’t tell us who you are.
You can control or disable cookies through your browser settings.
Changes to this policy
If we ever update this privacy policy, we’ll post the new version here. But rest assured that our approach will always be simple, honest and respectful.
In short: we respect your privacy, look after your details, and never share them without your permission. Simple as that.
