Privacy Policy
This document explains how Aleri Review collects, stores, and handles information about visitors to this publication. It is written to meet the requirements of the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018.
Who We Are
Aleri Review is an independent editorial publication focused on everyday wellness practices. The publication is not affiliated with any commercial, governmental, or institutional body. Our registered editorial address is 53 Hayne Street, London EC1A 9HB, United Kingdom.
For all data-related queries, contact us at [email protected] or by post at the address above.
We act as the data controller for all personal information collected through this website. We take this responsibility seriously and commit to handling your data transparently, securely, and only to the extent necessary for the legitimate functioning of this publication.
Information We Collect
We collect only the information required to operate this publication effectively. The categories of information we may collect are as follows:
When you submit the contact form on this website, we collect your name, email address, and the content of your message. This information is used solely to respond to your enquiry and is not retained beyond the period necessary to complete that correspondence.
We use privacy-respecting analytics tools to understand how visitors interact with the publication. This may include pages viewed, approximate geographic location (country level only), browser type, and session duration. No personally identifying information is collected at this stage without your explicit consent.
This site uses cookies as described in our Cookie Policy. You may control cookie preferences via the consent banner displayed on your first visit, or at any time by selecting Cookie Settings in the footer.
Standard server logs are maintained by our hosting provider for security and operational purposes. These logs record IP addresses, request timestamps, and HTTP status codes. Logs are retained for no more than 30 days before automatic deletion.
Legal Basis for Processing
Under UK GDPR, we process personal data under one or more of the following lawful bases:
- Consent — for optional analytics cookies and any newsletter or communications you explicitly opt into.
- Legitimate Interests — for operational server logs, security monitoring, and aggregate traffic analysis, where these do not override your individual rights.
- Contractual Necessity — when you contact us via the enquiry form, we process your data to respond appropriately to your request.
We do not sell, rent, or otherwise transfer personal data to third parties for commercial purposes. Data is shared with third-party service providers (such as hosting infrastructure and analytics) only under strict data processing agreements and exclusively to the extent necessary for the functioning of this website.
Data Retention
We retain personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purpose for which it was collected, or as required by applicable law. Specific retention periods are as follows:
| Data Type | Retention Period |
|---|---|
| Contact form submissions | Up to 90 days after correspondence concludes |
| Server access logs | 30 days (automatic deletion) |
| Analytics data (aggregated) | Up to 24 months |
| Cookie preference records | 12 months from consent |
At the end of the applicable retention period, data is securely deleted or anonymised such that it can no longer be associated with an individual.
Your Rights Under UK GDPR
As a data subject under UK GDPR, you hold the following rights with respect to any personal data we hold about you:
- Right of Access — you may request a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
- Right to Rectification — you may ask us to correct inaccurate or incomplete data.
- Right to Erasure — also known as the right to be forgotten; you may request deletion of your data in certain circumstances.
- Right to Restrict Processing — you may ask us to pause the processing of your data in specific situations.
- Right to Object — you may object to processing carried out on the basis of legitimate interests.
- Right to Data Portability — where applicable, you may request transfer of your data in a structured, machine-readable format.
To exercise any of these rights, contact us at [email protected]. We will respond within 30 days. If you believe your rights have not been respected, you may lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) at ico.org.uk.
Third Parties & Policy Changes
Aleri Review may embed content from or link to external platforms (such as Google Maps for our contact page location display). These third parties operate under their own privacy frameworks. We encourage you to review the relevant privacy notices for any external service you engage with via our site.
This Privacy Policy may be revised from time to time to reflect changes in applicable law, our operational practices, or the services we use. The date at the top of this document indicates when the most recent revision was made. Material changes will be communicated via a prominent notice on the homepage for a period of no less than 14 days following publication.
Continued use of this website following notification of a policy revision constitutes acknowledgement of the updated terms, unless you have exercised a right of objection or withdrawal as described in Section 5.
