Last updated: 1 March 2025

Estate Magazine Limited ("we", "us", "our") is committed to protecting the privacy and security of your personal information. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your personal data when you visit our website, subscribe to our publications, or otherwise interact with our services.

1. Information We Collect

Information you provide directly: When you subscribe to Estate Magazine, register for an event, contact our editorial team, or respond to a survey, you may provide us with personal information including your name, email address, postal address, telephone number, and payment information. We collect and process this information only to the extent necessary to fulfil the service you have requested.

Information collected automatically: When you visit our website, we automatically collect certain technical information including your IP address, browser type and version, operating system, referring URLs, pages visited, time spent on pages, and click-path data. This information is collected through cookies and similar tracking technologies and is used to improve the functionality and content of our digital platforms.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the personal information we collect to: deliver the subscription services you have purchased; send you editorial newsletters and content updates to which you have subscribed; process payment transactions; respond to your enquiries and communications; improve our editorial content and digital products; comply with our legal and regulatory obligations; and prevent fraud and ensure the security of our platforms. We do not sell, rent, or share your personal information with third parties for their marketing purposes without your explicit consent.

3. Legal Basis for Processing

We process your personal data on the following legal bases: the performance of a contract (where processing is necessary to deliver a subscription or service you have purchased); our legitimate interests (where we have a genuine business reason for processing that does not override your rights — for example, improving our services, preventing fraud, or conducting research); your consent (where we ask for and receive your explicit agreement — for example, to send marketing communications); and compliance with a legal obligation.

4. Data Retention

We retain personal data for as long as is necessary for the purposes for which it was collected and to comply with our legal obligations. Subscription records are retained for seven years after the end of the subscription for accounting and tax purposes. Technical logs are retained for 12 months. Marketing preferences are retained until you withdraw consent or request deletion.

5. Your Rights

Under the UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018, you have the right to access the personal data we hold about you; to request correction of inaccurate data; to request erasure of your data in certain circumstances; to object to or restrict our processing of your data; and to request a portable copy of your data. To exercise any of these rights, contact our Data Protection Officer at privacy@estatemagazine.com.

6. Cookies

We use essential cookies (necessary for the functioning of our website), analytical cookies (to understand how visitors use our site, using Google Analytics 4 with IP anonymisation enabled), and functional cookies (to remember your preferences and settings). You can manage your cookie preferences through our Cookie Consent Manager, accessible from the footer of every page.
