Privacy Policy

Information We Collect

The Chronicle Report collects limited personal information that you voluntarily provide, such as your name, email address, and any details shared through contact forms or newsletter sign‑ups. We also gather non‑personal data automatically, including browser type, device information, and IP addresses, to help us improve website performance and ensure a smooth user experience. We do not request sensitive data unless strictly necessary for a specific feature, and we handle all information with care and discretion.

How We Use Your Information

The information we collect is primarily used to enhance your browsing experience, provide relevant content, and communicate updates about our blog. We may use your email to send newsletters or respond to inquiries, but only when you have given clear consent. Non‑personal data, such as traffic patterns and device statistics, helps us identify trends and improve website functionality. We never sell or rent your personal information, and we use it strictly for the purposes outlined in this policy.

Data Protection & Security

We take the security of your personal information seriously. The Chronicle Report uses industry‑standard measures, such as encryption, firewalls, and secure hosting services, to protect your data from unauthorised access, alteration, or disclosure. While no system can guarantee complete security, we are committed to maintaining safeguards to minimise risks. Users are also encouraged to take precautions, such as keeping devices secure and using strong passwords when interacting with our website or related services.

Data Sharing & Third Parties

Your personal information is not shared with third parties except where necessary to deliver services you have requested, comply with legal obligations, or protect the rights and safety of our users. We may use trusted third‑party providers for services such as website hosting, analytics, and email delivery, but these partners are contractually bound to protect your data. We do not authorise any third party to use your information for advertising, marketing, or unrelated purposes.

Your Rights & Choices

As a user of The Chronicle Report, you have the right to access, correct, or request deletion of the personal information we hold about you. You may also withdraw consent for communications such as newsletters at any time. In accordance with applicable data protection laws, including the UK GDPR, we respect your rights to restrict processing, request data portability, and lodge a complaint with relevant supervisory authorities if you believe your data has been misused.

Data Retention

We retain personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy, or as required by law. Non‑personal data, such as analytics records, may be stored longer to help us track website performance trends over time. Once information is no longer needed, it will be securely deleted or anonymised. By limiting retention periods, we ensure that personal data is handled responsibly and kept only for its intended use.
