1. Who we are
POLNEWS is based in Newcastle upon Tyne, United Kingdom.
If you have any questions about this Privacy Policy, please contact us at:
2. What personal data we collect
We do not collect personal data from visitors through our website forms because we do not currently have contact forms, newsletter sign-ups, online accounts, recruitment forms or an online shop on our website.
We do not intentionally collect or store personal data submitted by website visitors.
If you contact us directly by email, we may receive your email address and any information you choose to include in your message. We will only use this information to respond to you.
3. Google Analytics and cookies
Our website uses Google Analytics / GA4 to understand general website usage, such as which pages are visited and how visitors use the website.
Google Analytics may collect limited technical and usage information, such as device information, browser type, pages visited, approximate location, referring website and similar analytics information.
Google Analytics uses cookies and similar technologies. Analytics cookies are not strictly necessary for the website to work, so where required by law, we will ask for your consent before setting these cookies.
You can control cookies through your browser settings and, where available, through our cookie banner or cookie settings tool.
For more information about how Google uses data, please see Google’s privacy information: https://policies.google.com/privacy
4. Why we use this information
We use Google Analytics information to understand website traffic, improve the website and check that the website is working properly.
If you email us, we use your message and contact details only to reply to your enquiry.
5. Sharing information
We do not sell personal data.
We may use trusted service providers, such as website hosting, IT support and Google Analytics / GA4. These providers may process limited technical or analytics information where needed to provide their services.
6. International transfers
Google and other technical service providers may process information outside the United Kingdom. Where this happens, appropriate safeguards should be used in line with UK data protection law.
7. How long we keep information
We do not keep a database of website visitors.
Analytics information is retained according to our Google Analytics / GA4 settings.
If you email us, we may keep your message only for as long as needed to respond to you and for reasonable business or legal record-keeping purposes.
8. Your rights
Under UK data protection law, you may have rights in relation to your personal data, including the right to request access, correction or deletion in certain circumstances.
To exercise your rights, please contact us at:
