Privacy Policy

This policy explains what personal information Fashion Hot collects, why, and what you can do about it. It was last updated on [DATE].

Who is responsible for your data

Fashion Hot is operated by [BUSINESS]. For anything in this policy, including requests about your data, contact [email protected].

What we collect, and why

When you use the contact form or email us

We receive your name, your email address and whatever you write in the message. We use it to reply to you and to keep a record of the conversation. The lawful basis is our legitimate interest in answering enquiries about the site.

When you download the planner or join the email list

We collect your email address. We use it to send you the file and, afterwards, occasional emails about new planners and articles. The lawful basis is your consent, which you give by submitting the form and can withdraw at any time using the unsubscribe link in any email.

Our email list is run through Brevo, which stores subscriber data on our behalf as a processor.

When you leave a comment

WordPress records the name, email address and website you enter, along with your IP address and browser user agent, to help with spam detection. Comments and their metadata are kept indefinitely so that follow-up replies still make sense.

Automatically, when you visit

Our server and our CDN record standard log data: IP address, browser type, referring page, and the time of the request. This is used for security, for diagnosing faults, and for understanding roughly how much traffic the site gets. The lawful basis is our legitimate interest in keeping the site running and secure.

Analytics

We use [ANALYTICS] to see which articles are read and how visitors arrive. It tells us about patterns across all visitors, not about you individually, and we don’t use it to build profiles or to target advertising.

Cookies

A small number of cookies are set when you visit:

  • Essential cookies — set by WordPress and by our CDN to serve pages, keep the site secure, and remember your details if you leave a comment. The site can’t work without these.
  • Analytics cookies — set by [ANALYTICS] to count visits and understand which pages are useful.

You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings. Blocking essential cookies may stop parts of the site from working.

Who we share it with

We don’t sell your data, and we don’t pass it to advertisers. It is handled by a small number of service providers who process it on our behalf:

  • Our hosting provider, which stores the website and its database
  • Cloudflare, which delivers the site and filters malicious traffic
  • Brevo, which sends our emails and holds the subscriber list
  • [ANALYTICS], which processes visit statistics

We may also disclose information where the law requires it.

Where your data is held

Some of these providers store or process data outside the UK. Where that happens, the transfer is covered by the safeguards those providers have in place, such as standard contractual clauses or an adequacy decision.

How long we keep it

  • Enquiries: up to two years after the conversation ends
  • Email subscribers: until you unsubscribe, and for a short period afterwards to make sure we don’t email you again by mistake
  • Comments: indefinitely, unless you ask us to remove them
  • Server logs: a rolling period of a few weeks

Your rights

Under UK data protection law you can ask us to:

  • Give you a copy of the personal data we hold about you
  • Correct anything that’s wrong or incomplete
  • Delete your data, where we have no ongoing reason to keep it
  • Restrict or object to how we use it
  • Send your data to you or another provider in a portable format
  • Withdraw consent to marketing emails, at any time

Email [EMAIL] and we’ll respond within one month. There’s no charge for a reasonable request.

If you think we’ve handled your data badly, you can complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office at ico.org.uk. We’d rather you told us first so we can put it right.

Children

This site is written for adults and isn’t aimed at children. We don’t knowingly collect data from anyone under 13. If you believe a child has given us their details, email us and we’ll delete them.

Links to other sites

Articles sometimes link to retailers and other websites. Once you follow one of those links, this policy no longer applies — the other site has its own, and we have no control over what it does with your data.

Changes to this policy

When we change anything here, we update the date at the top. Significant changes to how we use your data will be flagged to email subscribers before they take effect.
