Privacy Policy

Introduction

Verse Magazine (“we”, “us”, “our”) is an online entertainment magazine publishing celebrity biographies, entertainment news, lifestyle features and sports coverage. This privacy policy explains what personal data we collect when you visit versemagazine.co.uk, how we use it, and your rights under UK data protection law, including the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018.

Who we are

Verse Magazine is operated by the Verse Magazine editorial team. For any privacy-related questions or requests, please contact us at mrmoizvlog@gmail.com.

What personal data we collect and why

Comments

When visitors leave comments on the site we collect the data shown in the comments form, as well as the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help with spam detection. An anonymised string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available at automattic.com/privacy. After approval of your comment, your profile picture may be visible to the public in the context of your comment.

Contact forms

When you contact us through our contact form, we collect your name, email address and the contents of your message so that we can respond to your enquiry. We retain contact form submissions for up to 12 months for customer service purposes, and we do not use the information submitted for marketing purposes without your consent.

Cookies

We use cookies to make our website work properly and to understand how visitors use it. The types of cookies we use include:

  • Strictly necessary cookies – required for core site functionality, such as remembering your comment details or cookie preferences. These cannot be switched off.
  • Analytics cookies – help us understand how visitors interact with the site by collecting information in an aggregated, anonymous form (for example, which pages are most popular).
  • Advertising cookies – may be set by our advertising partners to show you relevant adverts on other sites and to measure the performance of advertising campaigns.

You can control and delete cookies through your browser settings. Please note that disabling cookies may affect how parts of this site function.

Analytics

We use analytics tools to measure website traffic and usage. These tools may collect your IP address, device and browser information, and the pages you visit. This information is processed in an aggregated form and is not used to identify you personally.

Embedded content from other websites

Articles on this site may include embedded content (for example videos, images or social media posts). Embedded content from other websites behaves in exactly the same way as if you had visited the other website directly. These third-party sites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with the embedded content, including tracking your interaction if you have an account and are logged in to that website.

How long we retain your data

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely so that we can recognise and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue. Contact form submissions are retained for up to 12 months. Analytics data is retained according to our analytics providers’ retention settings.

What rights you have over your data

Under the UK GDPR, you have the right to:

  • request access to the personal data we hold about you;
  • request correction of inaccurate or incomplete data;
  • request erasure of your personal data (“the right to be forgotten”);
  • request restriction of processing in certain circumstances;
  • receive your data in a portable format and have it transmitted to another controller;
  • object to processing based on legitimate interests or for direct marketing;
  • withdraw consent at any time, where processing is based on consent.

To exercise any of these rights, email us at mrmoizvlog@gmail.com. We will respond to your request within one month. If you feel we have not handled your data properly, you have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) at ico.org.uk.

Where we send your data

Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service. We do not sell your personal data to third parties.

Children’s privacy

Our website is not directed at children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, please contact us so we can delete it.

Changes to this policy

We may update this privacy policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or in data protection law. The current version will always be available on this page.

For any questions about this privacy policy or how we handle your personal data, contact the Verse Magazine editorial team at mrmoizvlog@gmail.com. We aim to respond within 48 business hours.
