Privacy Policy

How reader data, cookies, analytics, affiliate clicks, and third-party routes fit together at Pixie Belle.

Controller and contact

Pixie Belle is the controller for information collected through pixie-belle.co.uk. Contact [email protected] for privacy questions or rights requests.

Information we collect

We may collect technical information such as IP address, browser type, device information, pages viewed, referring URLs, approximate location, cookie identifiers, affiliate click identifiers, and messages you send to us.

Purposes and lawful bases

We use information to operate the site, understand which guides are useful, maintain security, respond to messages, measure affiliate performance, and improve content. Depending on context, lawful bases may include legitimate interests, consent, contract steps, and legal obligations.

Cookies, analytics, and affiliate tracking

Cookies and similar technologies may support analytics, site performance, affiliate attribution, fraud prevention, and remembering reader preferences. Affiliate links may set tracking identifiers after you click through to a merchant.

Third-party merchants and websites

When you click to a merchant or partner site, that third party controls its own privacy practices, cookies, product pages, payment flows, and account systems. Review their privacy policy before sharing information.

Sharing, selling, and international transfers

We do not sell personal information in the ordinary meaning of selling a reader list. We may share limited technical or click information with analytics providers, hosting providers, security tools, affiliate networks, and merchants where needed. Some providers may process data outside the UK or EEA with appropriate safeguards for international transfers.

Retention

We keep contact messages for as long as needed to handle the request. Analytics and security logs are kept for limited operational periods. Affiliate reporting may be retained while needed for accounting, fraud prevention, and network audit obligations.

Your UK and EU rights

Depending on your location, you may request access, correction, deletion, restriction, objection, portability, or withdrawal of consent. You may also complain to the UK Information Commissioner's Office or your local EU supervisory authority.

Children, security, and updates

Pixie Belle is not aimed at children. We use reasonable technical and organisational steps to protect information, but no website can guarantee absolute security. This policy may be updated as the site, tools, or legal requirements change.
