When this notice applies
It applies when you visit digitdost.com, read our articles, send us an email, or submit any form or comment on our site.
What we collect, in plain language
- Contact details you share with us: your name and email when you write to us or make a request.
- Things you submit: comments, tips, questions, and any files you attach.
- Technical information: IP address, device and browser type, pages you viewed, time on page, and general location from your IP.
- Cookie information: tiny files that help the site run, remember basic settings, measure what is popular, and, if you agree, support advertising.
Why we use this data
- To load pages on your device and keep the site secure.
- To answer questions, handle tips, and process privacy requests.
- To understand what readers find useful so we can improve.
- To support advertising and affiliate relationships where used, always with a clear separation from editorial work.
Our lawful bases under GDPR and UK GDPR
- Legitimate interests: site security, essential measurement, service improvement, and keeping simple records of our work.
- Consent: optional cookies, non-essential analytics, newsletters if offered, and any feature that clearly asks for your agreement.
- Contract: providing a service you ask us to deliver.
- Legal obligation: responding to lawful requests and keeping records we must keep.
You can withdraw consent at any time. That does not affect processing that already happened with your consent.
Cookies and your choices
Some cookies are essential because the site will not function without them. Others are optional. You are in control: use your browser settings to block or clear cookies. If you block some cookies, a few features may not work as expected.
Analytics, ads, and affiliate links
We may work with measurement and advertising partners. They use cookies or similar identifiers to help us count readers and show ads. Depending on the service, they may act as our processors or as independent controllers. We do not sell personal data.
Who sees your data
We share personal data only with trusted service providers who help us host the site, secure it, send email, measure audiences, or serve ads. They must protect your data and follow our instructions. We may also share data if the law requires it or to protect our rights.
International transfers
Your data may be processed outside your country. For readers in the EEA or UK, that can include transfers to India or other places where our providers operate. When we transfer personal data from the EEA or UK to a country without an adequacy decision, we rely on safeguards such as standard contractual clauses or another lawful mechanism.
How long we keep data
We keep data only as long as we need it.
- Emails and request logs: kept while we handle your request and for a reasonable period after.
- Security logs: kept for a limited time so we can detect and investigate issues.
How we protect data
We use reasonable technical and organisational measures: secure hosting, access controls, and routine reviews. No system is perfect, but we work to prevent unauthorised access, misuse, and loss.
Your rights
Depending on your location and situation, you may have the following rights.
- Access: ask for a copy of your personal data.
- Consent withdrawal: withdraw consent for anything that relied on it.
- Automated decisions: we do not make automated decisions that have legal or similarly significant effects.
How to use your rights
Email privacy@digitdost.com from the same address you used with us. Tell us which right you want to use and add enough detail to help us find your data. We may ask you to verify your identity. We aim to reply within one month. If your request is complex or we receive many requests, we may extend by up to two months and will tell you why.
Complaints
You can always write to us first so we can try to fix the issue. You also have the right to complain to your local data protection authority in the EEA or to the UK authority if you live in the UK.
Children
Our site is for a general audience. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children under 13. If you believe a child has shared data with us, write to privacy@digitdost.com and we will act.
Updates to this page
We will update this notice when our practices change or when the law requires it. The date at the top shows when this version took effect.
