Atisok Quarterly is an independent editorial publication focused on everyday wellness practices. The publication is not affiliated with any commercial, governmental, or institutional body. This policy describes how we collect, use, and store information when you visit atisok.info, and what rights you hold under applicable UK data protection legislation.

01 / Collection

Information we collect

Information you provide directly

When you use the contact form on this site, we collect the name, email address, and message content you submit. This information is used solely to respond to your enquiry. We do not add this data to mailing lists or share it with third parties.

Information collected automatically

When you visit atisok.info, our hosting infrastructure may log standard server data: your IP address, browser type, operating system, referring URL, and the pages you visit. This data is retained in aggregate for up to 90 days and is used only for security monitoring and performance assessment.

Cookie data

We use cookies to understand how content is read and to support basic site functionality. The categories of cookies we deploy, and how to manage your preferences, are set out in our Cookie Policy.

02 / Use

How we use your information

Personal data collected through the contact form is used only to respond to the specific enquiry submitted. We do not use this data for any secondary purpose without your explicit agreement.

Aggregate server log data is used to monitor the security and availability of the site. It is not used to build profiles of individual visitors, nor is it sold or transferred to advertising networks.

Where analytics cookies are accepted, anonymised usage data helps us understand which content is most useful to readers. This does not involve the collection of personally identifiable information.

We do not use your data to send unsolicited communications of any kind. If you contact us by email, we may reply to that email address only in connection with the matter you raised.

03 / Legal Basis

Lawful basis for processing

Legitimate interests

Server security logging and basic site performance monitoring are carried out under legitimate interests. These uses are limited, do not involve profiling, and do not override your rights as a data subject.

Contract performance

Where you submit a contact form enquiry, handling your message constitutes necessary processing to respond to a request you initiated.

Consent

Non-essential cookies (analytics, functional preferences) are set only where you have given explicit consent via the cookie banner. You may withdraw or adjust consent at any time using the Cookie Settings link in the footer.

04 / Retention and Sharing

Retention periods and third-party sharing

Contact form submissions are retained for up to twelve months from the date of receipt, after which they are deleted. Server logs are retained for 90 days. Cookie consent preferences are stored locally in your browser and are not transmitted to our servers.

We do not sell, rent, or transfer personal data to third parties for commercial purposes. Data may be shared with the following limited categories of third party solely to operate this site:

  • Web hosting providers, solely for the purpose of delivering site content
  • Analytics providers, only where you have consented to analytics cookies
  • Law enforcement or regulatory bodies, solely where required by applicable law

No personal data is transferred outside the United Kingdom or the European Economic Area without appropriate safeguards in place.

05 / Your Rights

Your rights under UK data protection law

Under the UK General Data Protection Regulation and the Data Protection Act 2018, you hold the following rights in relation to any personal data we hold about you:

Access

You may request a copy of the personal data we hold about you at any time.

Rectification

You may ask us to correct inaccurate data we hold about you.

Erasure

You may request deletion of personal data where there is no continuing legal basis for its retention.

Objection

You may object to processing carried out under legitimate interests.

Portability

Where processing is based on consent, you may request data in a structured, machine-readable format.

Restriction

You may request that we limit how we use your data in certain circumstances.

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at [email protected]. We will respond within one calendar month. If you are dissatisfied with our handling of a request, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) at ico.org.uk.

06 / Changes

Changes to this policy

This policy is reviewed periodically and updated to reflect changes in how we operate the site or in applicable law. The date at the top of this page records when the policy was last revised. Continued use of the site following a policy update constitutes acceptance of the revised terms.

Material changes to how we handle personal data will be noted prominently on this page for at least thirty days before taking effect.
