• Information from third parties — engagement data (opens, clicks) from our email service provider, MailerLite.

03Legal Bases for Processing

Under UK/EU GDPR, we rely on the following legal bases:

• Consent — when you subscribe to our newsletter or accept non-essential cookies.
• Legitimate interests — for analytics, site security, and improving our content, where your rights and freedoms are not overridden.
• Legal obligation — where we must process data to comply with the law.

• To respond to your enquiries.
• To understand how the website is used and improve our content.

05Email Newsletter (MailerLite)

Our newsletter is delivered using MailerLite. When you subscribe, your email address and any information you provide are stored on MailerLite’s servers and processed according to MailerLite’s Privacy Policy.

MailerLite is GDPR-compliant and may transfer data outside the UK/EEA under appropriate safeguards (such as Standard Contractual Clauses).

You can unsubscribe at any time by clicking the “unsubscribe” link in any email or by contacting us directly.

06Cookies

The website uses cookies and similar technologies. For full detail see our Cookie Policy below. In summary:

• Essential cookies — required for the site to function. No consent needed.
• Analytics cookies — used to understand site usage. Set only with your consent.
• Affiliate cookies — Amazon sets cookies when you click an affiliate link so it can attribute any resulting purchase to us.

07Analytics

We may use analytics services such as Google Analytics or a privacy-friendly alternative (e.g. Plausible or Fathom) to understand site traffic. These tools may collect anonymised or pseudonymised information about your device and behaviour. IP addresses are anonymised where possible.

08Amazon Affiliate Cookies

BlogDaddy participates in the Amazon EU Associates Programme. When you click an Amazon link on our website, Amazon places cookies on your device to track your visit. This allows Amazon to attribute any purchase you make to us and pay us a commission. We do not see your purchase details — only aggregated reporting on commissions earned. Amazon’s use of your data is governed by Amazon’s Privacy Notice.

We share data only with the third-party providers required to run the website:

• MailerLite — newsletter delivery.
• Amazon Associates — affiliate tracking.
• Web hosting provider — to host the website.
• Analytics provider — to measure site usage.

Each third party processes data under its own privacy policy and appropriate safeguards.

10International Data Transfers

Some of our third-party providers may store or process data outside the United Kingdom or European Economic Area. Where this happens, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place, such as Standard Contractual Clauses or equivalent mechanisms approved under UK GDPR.

11Data Retention

We retain personal data only for as long as necessary:

• Newsletter subscribers — until you unsubscribe or request deletion.
• Contact enquiries — for up to 24 months after the last correspondence.

To exercise any of these rights, email us at [email protected].

13Data Security

We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect your data against accidental loss, unauthorised access, or disclosure. However, no system is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
