- Operating system details.
- Pages requested and associated timestamps.

Where cookies or comparable technologies are enabled, information about browser preferences, website functionality, or interactions may be stored or accessed.
The purposes and requirements relating to these technologies are explained below.
3. How Personal Information Is Used
Personal information may be processed for legitimate website operations and purposes relevant to interactions with Zero Magazine.
Depending on the activity involved, these purposes may include:
- Responding to questions, enquiries, and reader feedback.
- Reviewing requests for corrections or editorial clarification.
- Assessing relevant business and advertising enquiries.
- Maintaining website functionality and technical security.
- Detecting potentially harmful or unauthorised activity.
- Understanding website performance where appropriate analytics are enabled.
- Complying with applicable legal requirements.
- Protecting the rights and legitimate interests of the publication and its users.
Personal information should not be used for unrelated purposes without an appropriate legal basis and any notice or permission required by applicable law.
4. Legal Bases for Processing Information
Where the UK GDPR applies, personal information must be processed on an appropriate lawful basis.
Depending on the activity and circumstances, relevant lawful bases may include:
Legitimate Interests
Processing information where reasonably necessary to respond to enquiries, manage editorial correspondence, maintain website security, or operate the publication, provided those interests are not overridden by individuals’ rights and freedoms.
Consent
Where individuals have freely agreed to a particular use of their information, such as certain optional cookies or marketing communications, and consent is the appropriate legal basis.
Legal Obligations
Processing necessary to meet applicable legal or regulatory requirements.
Contractual Necessity
Processing that is necessary to perform a contract with an individual or take requested steps before entering into one, where relevant.
The applicable basis must be determined for each processing activity. Consent is not automatically required for every form of personal data processing.
5. Cookies and Tracking Technologies
Cookies are small files or similar technologies that websites may use to support functionality, maintain settings, measure performance, or enable additional services.
Depending on the website’s configuration, cookie categories may include:
Essential Cookies
Technologies necessary for functions such as website security, technical operation, or services specifically requested by visitors.
Analytics and Performance Technologies
Tools that may help understand website traffic, identify technical issues, and assess how visitors interact with content.
Functional Technologies
Technologies that may remember preferences or support optional website features.
Advertising Technologies
Where advertising services are implemented, technologies may be used for advertising delivery, measurement, or personalisation.
The presence of these categories in this policy does not mean that every category is currently in use.
Under applicable UK rules, non-essential storage and access technologies generally require prior consent unless a specific legal exception applies. Certain limited statistical or functional uses may qualify for exceptions subject to additional requirements, including appropriate information and objection mechanisms.
Where consent is required, visitors should be able to make an informed choice and withdraw that consent.
6. Website Analytics
Website analytics can help publishers understand how content is accessed and identify opportunities to improve website performance.
If analytics services are enabled on Zero Magazine, information processed may include page visits, approximate traffic sources, device characteristics, and technical performance details.
The precise information collected, the service providers involved, and the applicable consent or objection arrangements depend on the analytics configuration.
Any analytics processing must comply with applicable privacy and cookie requirements.
This policy does not identify a particular analytics provider because no provider has been confirmed for the website.
7. Third-Party Services and Data Sharing
Operating a website may involve external service providers, depending on the hosting arrangements, communication services, technical infrastructure, and optional features used.
Potential categories of recipients include hosting providers, email service providers, technical support services, security providers, and other contracted processors where applicable.
Personal information may also need to be disclosed where required by law, a valid legal process, or an appropriate regulatory obligation.
Where third parties process personal information on behalf of the website operator, appropriate data protection requirements should be considered.
Third-party websites and services may apply their own privacy practices when visitors interact with them independently.
8. International Data Transfers
Zero Magazine serves an international audience, and some website service providers may operate or process information in different countries.
Where personal information is transferred internationally, the applicable data protection requirements must be assessed.
For transfers governed by the UK GDPR, this may include relying on recognised adequacy arrangements, appropriate contractual safeguards, or another legally permitted transfer mechanism.
Any international transfer arrangements must reflect the actual locations and practices of the relevant service providers.
9. Data Retention
Personal information should be retained only for as long as necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, subject to applicable legal requirements.
The appropriate retention period may depend on:
- The nature of the information.
- The purpose for which it is needed.
- Whether an enquiry or editorial matter remains unresolved.
- Relevant legal or regulatory obligations.
- Security requirements and legitimate recordkeeping needs.
When personal information is no longer required, it should be securely deleted, anonymised, or otherwise handled in accordance with applicable requirements.
Specific retention periods must reflect the actual systems and records maintained by the website operator.
10. How We Approach Data Security
Protecting personal information is an important aspect of responsible website management.
Security arrangements should be appropriate to the nature of the personal data processed and the risks associated with the website’s operations.
Relevant safeguards may include access controls, secure account management, software updates, technical protections, and appropriate procedures for handling personal information.
No internet-based system or electronic communication method can be guaranteed to be entirely secure.
Visitors should avoid sending unnecessary sensitive information through ordinary email.
11. Your Rights Under UK Data Protection Law
Where the UK GDPR applies, individuals may have rights concerning the use of their personal information.
Depending on the circumstances, these rights may include:
- Right of Access: Request access to personal information held about you.
- Right to Rectification: Request correction of inaccurate or incomplete personal information.
- Right to Erasure: Request deletion of personal information where applicable.
- Right to Restrict Processing: Request restrictions on certain uses of personal information.
- Right to Data Portability: Receive certain personal information in a structured format where the relevant legal requirements are met.
- Right to Withdraw Consent: Withdraw consent where processing relies on consent.
- Rights Relating to Automated Decisions: Exercise applicable protections concerning qualifying automated decision-making.
Right to Object
You may have the right to object to processing based on legitimate interests or other applicable grounds. Where personal information is used for direct marketing, individuals have a specific right to object to that processing.
These rights are subject to applicable legal conditions and exceptions.
Privacy-related requests may be submitted to zeromagazine.co.uk@gmail.com.
Individuals may also have the right to raise concerns with the UK Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) where the relevant law applies.
12. Privacy Rights for United States Residents
Certain US states provide additional rights relating to personal information.
Where applicable, laws such as the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), may provide eligible residents with rights to:
- Know what personal information is collected, used, or disclosed.
- Request access to certain personal information.
- Request the deletion of personal information, subject to exceptions.
- Request correction of inaccurate information.
- Opt out of qualifying sales or sharing of personal information.
- Limit certain uses or disclosures of sensitive personal information.
- Exercise applicable rights without unlawful discrimination.
Other US state privacy laws may provide similar or additional protections.
The availability of particular rights depends on the relevant law and whether it applies to the website operator.
Where legally required, additional privacy notices, opt-out methods, or consumer choice mechanisms must be provided.
13. Children’s Privacy
Privacy protections are particularly important when personal information relates to children.
Zero Magazine’s general-interest editorial content does not, by itself, require children to provide personal information.
If information relating to a child is submitted, its handling must comply with applicable age-related privacy requirements.
Parents or legal guardians who have concerns about personal information relating to a child may contact the publication using the privacy email provided in this policy.
14. External Websites and Embedded Content
Some online publications include references to external websites or embedded material from independent providers.
If such features are used on Zero Magazine, interactions with those external services may involve the collection or processing of personal information by the relevant third parties.
Visitors should review the privacy information provided by those independent services where appropriate.
The inclusion of external material does not automatically indicate that Zero Magazine controls the privacy practices of the third-party provider.
15. Changes to This Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy may be updated to reflect changes in website operations, technical services, data handling practices, or applicable privacy requirements.
Where the policy is revised, the updated version will be published on this page with a revised effective or last-updated date.
Where legally required, additional notices or consent requests should be provided before relevant changes to personal data processing take effect.
Readers are encouraged to review this policy periodically.
