The short version. A title’s newsletter starts only after you confirm your address. Each title’s newsletter is separate. We never sell your details. To stop any email, reply to it with “unsubscribe” or write to hello@localpublisher.co.uk.
Who we are
Local Publisher and its 16 publications are published by Byter Ltd, a company registered in England and Wales (number 11372197), registered office 33 Cavendish Square, London W1G 0PW. Byter Ltd is the controller of the personal data described here. Contact: hello@localpublisher.co.uk.
This notice covers this site and the newsletters and enquiry forms of every title listed below.
How newsletter sign-up works
- You enter your email address on a title’s site.
- We send one email asking you to confirm. Until you press the confirm button, you are not on any list and we will not write again.
- Once you confirm, you receive that title’s newsletter, and only that one.
Signing up to one title does not sign you up to the others. If you want several, sign up on each one.
The network email
Where a form offers it, you can also tick a box to receive an occasional “best of the network” email with picks from across our titles. The box is never ticked for you, and you can leave it without affecting your newsletter.
The Network Brief
The Network Brief is a monthly email for partners and advertisers, signed up for on our Brief page. We ask only for an email address, with your name and business if you want to give them. Signing up is your request to receive it (your consent). We send one welcome email straight away so you know it worked. Each issue tells you how to leave, and replying “unsubscribe” always works.
What we collect
| When | What | Why and on what basis |
|---|---|---|
| Newsletter sign-up | Email address, the title, when you signed up and confirmed, and a scrambled (hashed) form of your connection address | To send the newsletter you asked for (your consent). The hashed address only limits repeat sign-ups, to stop bots signing up strangers. |
| The Network Brief | Email address, and your name and business if you give them | To send the Brief you asked for (your consent). |
| Advertising or partner enquiry | Name, email, business, website, and what you tell us | To reply and, if you want, to prepare a proposal (our legitimate interest in answering you). |
| Emailing us | Your message and address | To answer you. |
We do not buy lists, we do not sell or rent your details, and we do not add you to a list you did not ask for.
Who else handles it
We use a small number of service providers who process data for us under contract and only on our instructions:
- Resend, to deliver emails.
- Supabase, to store sign-ups and enquiries.
- Vercel, to host our sites.
- Cloudflare, where a form uses its check to tell people from bots.
Some of these providers process data outside the UK. Where they do, they are covered by UK adequacy regulations or the UK International Data Transfer Addendum.
How long we keep it
- Newsletter: for as long as you are subscribed. After you unsubscribe we keep only your address and the date, so that we never email you again by mistake.
- An unconfirmed sign-up: the confirm link expires after 7 days, and we never email that address again unless someone signs it up again.
- Enquiries: up to two years after we last spoke, unless we go on to work together.
