Site data
Privacy Policy
How SPF Edit handles email contact, basic analytics, cookies and external links.
Information readers provide
If you email SPF Edit, the message may include your email address, name, article URL and any details you choose to send. This information is used to reply, check corrections, handle affiliate enquiries, answer privacy requests or improve the clarity of site content.
Basic site data
Like most websites, SPF Edit may receive basic technical data such as browser type, device, pages visited, approximate location from IP address, referring pages and time of visit. This helps understand whether pages work, which topics readers use and whether the site has technical problems.
Cookies and analytics
The site may use cookies or analytics tools to understand traffic and maintain the website. Browser settings can usually block or delete cookies. Blocking cookies may affect analytics accuracy, but the editorial content should remain readable.
Affiliate and external links
Affiliate partners and external websites have their own privacy policies. SPF Edit is not responsible for how a retailer, affiliate network or third-party site handles information after a reader leaves spfedit.co.uk. Readers should check retailer policies before purchasing.
Email retention
Messages may be retained while they are useful for replying, documenting a correction, handling a partnership enquiry or maintaining site records. SPF Edit aims to keep only information that has a practical reason to be kept.
Security
No website can promise perfect security. SPF Edit keeps privacy handling simple: do not send sensitive medical details, payment card information or passwords by email. Retailer payments happen on retailer websites, not on SPF Edit.
Reader choices
You can choose not to email the site, use browser privacy settings, block cookies or avoid clicking external retailer links. For privacy questions, correction requests or deletion questions related to your own email, contact info@spfedit.co.uk.
Changes to this policy
This policy may be updated as the website changes, for example if analytics, affiliate relationships or contact processes change. The current version is the one published on this page.
Data sharing
SPF Edit does not sell reader email messages. Information may be handled by ordinary service providers involved in hosting, email, analytics or affiliate tracking. Those services may process limited technical data so that the site can operate, measure traffic or record an affiliate referral.
Children
SPF Edit is written for general consumer skincare readers and is not directed at children. If a parent or guardian believes a child has sent personal information by email, they can contact the site to request review or deletion of that message.
Analytics and measurement
Analytics data may include pages viewed, approximate location, device type, browser information, referral source and interaction patterns. This information helps identify broken pages, popular article clusters, navigation problems and content that needs clearer wording. It is used in aggregate rather than to identify an individual reader.
Affiliate tracking
When a reader clicks an affiliate link, the retailer or affiliate network may use cookies or similar technology to record that SPF Edit referred the visit. That tracking is usually handled by the external network or retailer after the click. SPF Edit does not control the checkout, account creation, payment details or order fulfilment on those external sites.
International readers
SPF Edit is aimed primarily at UK readers and secondarily at US readers, but the website may be visited from other places. Privacy rights and cookie rules can vary by location. Readers can contact info@spfedit.co.uk for questions about messages they have sent to the site or requests relating to their own email correspondence.
Minimisation
The site does not need sensitive personal information to answer a correction or editorial question. Readers should avoid sending health records, detailed medical histories, payment details or passwords. If unnecessary sensitive information is received, it may be deleted rather than retained.
