Privacy Policy

1. About This Policy

Daremi Quarterly is an independent editorial publication focused on everyday wellness practices. The publication is not affiliated with any commercial, governmental, or institutional body. This privacy policy explains how we collect, use, store, and protect personal data when you visit daremi.info and interact with our content.

This policy applies to all visitors to daremi.info. By continuing to use this website, you acknowledge that you have read and understood the practices described here. If you do not agree with any part of this policy, please discontinue use of the site.

2. Data We Collect

We collect two categories of data: information you provide directly, and information collected automatically during your visit.

Information you provide: When you use the contact form on this site, you may submit your name, email address, and the content of your message. This data is used solely to respond to your enquiry and is not shared with third parties for marketing purposes.

Automatically collected data: When you visit daremi.info, our hosting infrastructure and analytics systems may collect standard technical data including your IP address, browser type and version, referring URL, pages visited, time and duration of visit, and device type. This data is used in aggregate form to understand how readers engage with our content. It is not used to identify individual visitors.

3. Cookies and Tracking

This website uses cookies. Cookies are small text files placed on your device to enable site functionality and support analytics. We use three categories of cookies: strictly necessary cookies (required for the site to function), analytical cookies (which help us understand how readers navigate the site), and functional cookies (which remember your preferences).

You may adjust your cookie preferences at any time using the Cookie Settings link at the foot of every page. A full description of each cookie category and the cookies in use is provided in our Cookie Policy.

If you decline analytical or functional cookies, the site will continue to function normally. Only strictly necessary cookies will remain active. Your preference is stored for 12 months.

4. Legal Basis for Processing

Under UK GDPR and the UK Data Protection Act 2018, we process personal data on the following legal bases:

• Legitimate interests: Aggregate analytics data is processed on the basis of our legitimate interest in understanding how readers use our site, provided this does not override your fundamental rights and freedoms.
• Consent: Analytical and functional cookies are placed only with your consent, obtained via the cookie consent banner on first visit.
• Contract performance: Contact form data is processed to respond to your enquiry, constituting a pre-contractual or contractual arrangement.

5. How We Share Your Data

Daremi Quarterly does not sell, rent, or trade personal data with third parties. We share data only in the following limited circumstances:

• Service providers: We engage third-party services for web hosting, analytics, and email delivery. These providers process data only on our instruction and under contractual data processing agreements.
• Legal obligation: We may disclose data where required by law, court order, or regulatory authority.

6. Data Retention

Contact form data is retained for a maximum of 24 months from the date of submission, after which it is permanently deleted. Aggregate analytics data, which does not identify individual visitors, may be retained indefinitely for statistical purposes. Server access logs are retained for up to 90 days and then deleted automatically.

7. Your Rights Under UK GDPR

You have the following rights in relation to your personal data:

• Access: You may request a copy of personal data we hold about you.
• Rectification: You may request correction of inaccurate data.
• Erasure: You may request deletion of personal data where there is no overriding legitimate basis for retention.
• Objection: You may object to processing based on legitimate interests.
• Portability: You may request data provided by you in a structured, machine-readable format.
• Withdrawal of consent: Where processing is based on consent, you may withdraw it at any time without affecting the lawfulness of prior processing.

To exercise any of these rights, write to [email protected]. We will respond within 30 days.

8. Data Security

We implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect personal data against unauthorised access, accidental loss, alteration, or disclosure. The site operates over HTTPS. Contact form submissions are encrypted in transit. Access to personal data is restricted to authorised personnel.

9. Third-Party Links

Articles on this site may contain links to third-party websites, publications, and research repositories. These external sites operate under their own privacy policies. Daremi Quarterly is not responsible for the privacy practices or content of any external site. We encourage readers to review the privacy policy of any external site they visit.

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this privacy policy from time to time. Any material changes will be noted at the top of this page with a revised date. Continued use of the site after publication of an updated policy constitutes acceptance of the revised terms. Where changes affect the legal basis for processing, we will seek fresh consent where required.
