This Privacy Policy explains what information Apron Belly (apronbelly.co.uk) collects when you visit the website, how it is used and the choices you have. We are committed to handling personal data in line with the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018.
Information We Collect
Basic technical data. Like almost every website, our hosting provider automatically records standard server logs. These can include your IP address, browser type, the pages you visit and the time of your visit. The logs are used to keep the website secure and running smoothly.
Cookies. The website uses a small number of essential cookies, for example to keep logged-in administrators signed in. We do not currently use advertising cookies.
Information you send us. If you contact us by email or through our contact page, we receive the details you choose to share, such as your name, email address and message.
We do not ask for, and you should not send us, detailed medical records or other sensitive health information. Our articles are general information and we cannot give personal medical advice.
How We Use Information
We use this information to operate and secure the website, reply to messages and understand how the website is performing so we can improve it. Our lawful bases are our legitimate interest in running a secure, useful website and, where you contact us, your request for a reply. We do not sell your personal information.
Third-Party Services
Apron Belly is hosted by Hostinger and uses caching to load pages quickly. If we add analytics, advertising or newsletter services in the future, we will update this page to describe them before they are switched on.
Links to Other Websites
Our articles link to other websites, such as NHS pages. Those websites have their own privacy policies, and we are not responsible for how they handle your information.
How Long We Keep Information
Server logs are kept for a limited period set by our hosting provider. Emails and messages are kept only for as long as needed to deal with your enquiry.
Your Rights
Under UK data protection law, you have the right to ask for a copy of the personal data we hold about you, and to ask us to correct, delete or stop using it. You can also object to how we use your data. To make a request, please use our contact page.
If you are unhappy with how we handle your data, you can complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) at ico.org.uk.
Children
Apron Belly is written for adults and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
