4. Email updates
If you subscribe, we will use your details to send new episode alerts and closely related podcast news. We will not add you to unrelated marketing lists.
You can unsubscribe at any time using the link in an email or by contacting us. After you unsubscribe, we may retain the minimum information needed to respect your choice and prevent further messages.
5. WhatsApp updates
WhatsApp updates are optional. If you choose to contact or follow us through WhatsApp, WhatsApp will process information under its own terms and privacy policy. We will use your details only for the updates or conversation you requested and will not add you to a list without an affirmative opt-in.
6. Cookies, analytics and advertising
We use strictly necessary storage to operate the website and remember your privacy choices. We use analytics, marketing and embedded-media technologies only after you give the relevant consent.
You can accept, reject or change your choices at any time through Cookie settings in the footer. More information is available in our Cookie Policy.
7. Embedded content and external services
The website may link to or, with your consent, display content from services such as Spotify, YouTube, Substack, Meta platforms and WhatsApp. These providers may receive information about your device and interaction when you open their services or enable embedded content. Their own privacy policies apply to their processing.
Where possible, we provide ordinary outbound links so that you can choose whether to visit a third-party service.
8. Who we share information with
We may use trusted service providers to host the website, manage subscriptions, deliver email, provide analytics, prevent abuse and maintain the website. They may process personal information only as needed to provide their services and subject to appropriate contractual and security requirements.
The email-delivery provider must be listed here before launch:
- Website hosting and content delivery: Cloudflare
- Newsletter/email delivery: [TO CONFIRM]
- Analytics: Google Analytics 4, if enabled after consent
- Advertising: Meta Pixel, if enabled after consent
- Spam prevention: internal controls only
We may also disclose information where required by law or where reasonably necessary to establish, exercise or defend legal claims.
We do not sell personal information.
9. International transfers
Some service providers may process information outside Gibraltar. Where personal information is transferred internationally, we will use providers and safeguards appropriate to the destination and applicable data-protection requirements. You may contact us for more information about relevant safeguards.
10. How long we keep information
We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the relevant purpose:
- subscription details are kept while you remain subscribed;
- unsubscribe records may be retained as a suppression record so that your choice is respected;
- enquiries are normally kept for up to 24 months after the last meaningful contact, unless a longer period is needed for a legal or operational reason;
- security logs are normally kept for up to 90 days, unless needed to investigate an incident; and
- cookie and analytics retention is described in the Cookie Policy and relevant service settings.
11. How we protect information
We use reasonable technical and organisational measures designed to protect personal information. These include access controls, secure connections, limited administrative access, software updates and appropriate provider agreements. No internet service can guarantee absolute security.
