What data we collect and why

Newsletter subscribers

When you subscribe to Hidden Britain, we collect your email address. We use it to send you the newsletter. That is the only purpose.

Subscriptions are managed via Beehiiv (beehiiv.com), a US-based email platform. Beehiiv acts as a data processor on our behalf under a data processing agreement. Your email address is stored on their infrastructure. Beehiiv's own privacy policy is available at beehiiv.com/privacy.

We do not sell, share, or rent subscriber data to any third party.

Map and web app usage

The Land & Legacy map at landandlegacy.uk does not require you to create an account or submit personal data. If you use optional features such as saving visited or wishlist properties, that data is stored locally on your own device and is not transmitted to us.

The map uses Mapbox to render tiles. Mapbox may collect technical data about tile requests in accordance with their privacy policy (mapbox.com/legal/privacy).

Contact and correspondence

If you contact us by email, we retain that correspondence in order to respond and for our records. We do not use it for any other purpose.

Analytics and cookies

We may use basic, privacy-respecting analytics to understand how the site is used overall. No personally identifying information is collected for this purpose. We do not use advertising cookies or track you across other websites.

Legal basis for processing

For newsletter subscribers, our legal basis is consent. You gave consent when you subscribed. You can withdraw it at any time by unsubscribing via the link in any newsletter email.

For correspondence, our legal basis is legitimate interests in responding to enquiries directed to us.

Your rights

Under UK GDPR, you have the right to:

• Access the personal data we hold about you
• Correct inaccurate data
• Request erasure of your data
• Object to processing
• Withdraw consent at any time

To exercise any of these rights, contact [email protected]. We will respond within 30 days.

If you believe we have not handled your data correctly, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner's Office (ico.org.uk).

Retention

Subscriber email addresses are retained for as long as you remain subscribed. On unsubscribing, data is deleted in accordance with Beehiiv's retention policy. Correspondence is retained for up to two years.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. The date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision. Significant changes will be noted in the Hidden Britain newsletter.
