What we collect
Information your browser sends. Like almost every website, our servers keep access logs. These record the address of the page requested, the date and time, the referring page, your browser and operating system, and your IP address. Logs are used to keep the site running, diagnose faults and detect abuse.
Aggregate readership data. We count how many times each article is read so we can see what our readers find useful. These counts are not tied to individual readers.
Information you send us. If you email the newsroom, we hold your message and your address for as long as needed to deal with it and to keep a record of correspondence about our reporting.
We do not ask for or store payment details, and we do not require an account to read this site.
Cookies
We use cookies that are necessary for the site to function. If we introduce analytics or advertising that sets additional cookies, this policy will be updated to name them before they are used. You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings; the site will continue to work without them.
How we use it
We use the information above to deliver and secure the website, to understand which of our reporting is being read, and to answer correspondence. We do not sell personal information, and we do not share it with third parties except where we are required to by law or where a service provider hosts this site on our behalf under a duty of confidence.
How long we keep it
Server logs are retained for a limited period and then deleted. Correspondence is kept for as long as it is relevant to our reporting or to a complaint.
Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to ask what personal information we hold about you, to have it corrected, to have it deleted, and to object to its use. To exercise any of these, write to [email protected]. We will respond within the period the applicable law requires.
Children
This site is not directed at children, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them.
External links
Our reporting links to other websites. We are not responsible for their content or their privacy practices, and we encourage you to read their policies.
Changes
If this policy changes, the revised version will be published here with a new date at the top.
