Privacy policy

This policy explains what information Voltacle collects and how we use it.

Visiting the site

If you agree, Voltacle uses Google Analytics to measure how many people read the site and which articles they visit. Google Analytics sets cookies and sends Google information about your visit, including the pages you view, your browser and device, and your approximate location. If you choose "No cookies", or ignore the prompt, Google Analytics does not load and no analytics cookies are set.

Your answer is stored in your browser so we do not ask on every page. Use the "Privacy choices" link at the bottom of any page to change it. Google describes how it uses this data at policies.google.com/privacy.

We do not run advertising trackers. Our hosting provider keeps standard server logs, such as IP addresses, pages requested and browser type, for security and to keep the site running. These logs are deleted automatically after a short period.

Emailing us

If you email us, we receive your name, email address and whatever you choose to send. We use this only to deal with your message, such as following up a story or making a correction, and we do not share it with anyone else unless the law requires it. We keep emails for as long as we need them for that purpose.

Links to other sites

Our articles link to other websites, including the sources we use. Those sites have their own privacy policies, and we are not responsible for them.

Your rights

Under UK data protection law you can ask to see the personal information we hold about you, ask us to correct or delete it, or object to how we use it. Email info@voltacle.com. You can also complain to the Information Commissioner's Office at ico.org.uk.

Changes

We will post any changes to this policy on this page.
