Information you provide directly

If you contact digitPro by email, contact form or another communication method, we may receive information such as:

• your name;
• your email address;
• your telephone number, if you provide it;
• the contents of your message; and
• any other information you voluntarily provide.

If you submit creative material, information about a project, music, poetry, artwork, photographs or other content for consideration or publication, we may also retain information associated with that submission and our correspondence with you.

Information collected when you visit the website

When you visit digitpro.co.uk, certain technical information may be collected automatically by the website, our hosting provider or services used to operate and protect the site.

This may include:

• IP address;
• browser and device type;
• operating system;
• pages visited;
• approximate geographic information derived from an IP address;
• referring website;
• date and time of visits; and
• information about how visitors interact with the website.

We use this information primarily to operate, secure and improve the website and to understand how visitors engage with our content.

3. How We Use Personal Information

We may use personal information to:

• respond to enquiries and correspondence;
• communicate with contributors, artists, writers and other collaborators;
• consider material submitted for publication or collaboration;
• administer and maintain the website;
• protect the website against spam, abuse, fraud and security threats;
• understand how visitors use digitPro;
• improve our articles, features and other content;
• comply with legal or regulatory requirements; and
• establish, exercise or defend legal rights where necessary.

We do not sell personal information to third parties.

4. Our Lawful Bases for Processing

Under UK data protection law, we must have a lawful basis for processing personal information.

Depending on the circumstances, we may rely on:

Consent — where you have actively agreed to a particular use of your information.

Legitimate interests — where processing is reasonably necessary for operating, maintaining, securing and improving digitPro, responding to correspondence, managing editorial relationships or carrying out the normal activities of an independent publication, provided those interests are not overridden by your rights and interests.

Contract — where processing is necessary in connection with an agreement or arrangement between you and digitPro.

Legal obligation — where we need to process information in order to comply with applicable law.

Where we rely on consent, you may withdraw that consent at any time.

5. Website Analytics

digitPro may use website analytics and statistics services to understand how visitors use the website.

These services can provide information such as the number of visitors to particular pages, how visitors arrived at the site, general visitor locations, device types and how visitors navigate through the website.

Where analytics technologies require consent under applicable law, they will only be used in accordance with your cookie or privacy preferences.

We use analytics information to understand our audience and improve the website and its content rather than to identify individual visitors unnecessarily.

6. WordPress and Jetpack

digitPro is built using WordPress and may use services and features provided through Jetpack.

Depending on the features enabled on the website, these technologies may process technical information required for functions such as website statistics, security, performance, spam prevention and other website functionality.

Some of these services may use cookies or similar technologies.

The particular technologies operating on the website may change as digitPro develops. Where required, information about non-essential cookies and similar technologies will be provided through our cookie controls or Cookie Policy.

7. Embedded Content and Third-Party Services

Articles and pages on digitPro may include content provided by third-party services, such as music players, videos, social-media content or links to external websites.

Examples may include services such as YouTube and Spotify.

When you interact with embedded third-party content, the relevant provider may receive information about your device or visit and may use cookies or similar technologies in accordance with its own privacy practices.

These third-party services are responsible for their own processing of personal information. We encourage you to review their privacy policies if you would like to understand how they handle your information.

Where consent is legally required before non-essential third-party technologies are activated, digitPro will seek to respect the choices made through its cookie or consent controls.

8. Cookies and Similar Technologies

digitPro uses, or may use, cookies and similar technologies.

Cookies are small pieces of information stored on your device when you visit a website. They can be used for purposes including:

• ensuring the website functions correctly;
• remembering preferences;
• website security;
• measuring website traffic and performance;
• analytics; and
• enabling third-party or embedded content.

Some cookies are necessary for the operation and security of the website. Other cookies or similar technologies may require your consent.

Where consent is required, you can choose whether to accept those technologies through the cookie controls provided on the website.

You can also control cookies through your browser settings. Disabling certain cookies may affect the functionality of some parts of the website.

More detailed information about the cookies and similar technologies currently used by digitPro may be provided in our Cookie Policy or cookie settings.

9. Sharing Personal Information

We do not sell or rent your personal information.

We may disclose limited personal information to organisations that provide services necessary to operate digitPro, such as:

• website hosting providers;
• website and content-management services;
• security and spam-prevention providers;
• analytics providers;
• email or communication services; and
• technical service providers.

These organisations may process information on our behalf or, in some circumstances, act as independent controllers of information they receive.

We may also disclose information if required by law, a court, a regulatory authority or where reasonably necessary to protect our legal rights or the security of the website.

10. International Data Transfers

Some third-party technology providers used by digitPro may process or store information outside the United Kingdom.

Where personal information is transferred internationally, we will take reasonable steps to ensure that appropriate protections required by applicable UK data protection law are in place.

Depending on the service and destination, these protections may include UK adequacy regulations or appropriate contractual safeguards.

11. How Long We Keep Personal Information

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, including any legal, accounting, security, editorial or administrative requirements.

Retention periods may vary depending on the type of information.

For example, correspondence may be retained where it forms part of an ongoing creative, editorial or business relationship, while technical and analytics information may be retained according to the settings and retention periods of the relevant services.

When personal information is no longer reasonably required, we will delete it or allow it to be deleted in accordance with our normal systems and processes, subject to any legal requirements to retain it.

12. Security

We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect personal information against unauthorised access, alteration, disclosure, loss or misuse.

The digitPro website uses HTTPS encryption to protect information transmitted between your browser and the website.

However, no website, internet transmission or electronic storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

13. Your Data Protection Rights

Depending on the circumstances and the lawful basis on which your information is processed, UK data protection law may give you rights including:

• the right to be informed about how your information is used;
• the right to request access to your personal information;
• the right to ask for inaccurate information to be corrected;
• the right to request deletion of your information in certain circumstances;
• the right to request restriction of processing in certain circumstances;
• the right to object to certain processing;
• the right to data portability in certain circumstances; and
• the right to withdraw consent where processing is based on consent.

Some of these rights are subject to legal limitations and do not apply in every situation.

info@digitpro.co.uk

We may need to verify your identity before fulfilling certain requests.

Your Right to Object

Where we process your personal information on the basis of legitimate interests, you may have the right to object to that processing.

If personal information is ever used for direct marketing, you have the right to object to that use at any time.

14. Marketing Communications

digitPro will not send you electronic marketing communications merely because you have visited the website or contacted us.

If we offer an email newsletter or similar subscription service, you will be given an appropriate opportunity to choose whether to subscribe.

You can unsubscribe from marketing communications at any time using the unsubscribe option provided in the communication or by contacting us.

15. External Links

digitPro contains links to websites operated by other organisations.

This Privacy Policy applies to digitpro.co.uk and does not control how external websites collect or use personal information.

When you follow a link to another website, we recommend reviewing that site’s privacy information where appropriate.

16. Children’s Privacy

digitPro is a general-interest creative and editorial website and is not specifically directed at children.

We do not intentionally seek to collect personal information from children through the website.

If you believe that personal information relating to a child has been provided to digitPro in circumstances where it should not have been collected, please contact us.
