4. Our Bases for Processing Information

Where applicable data-protection law requires a lawful basis, we may process personal information on one or more of the following grounds:

Consent

We may rely on your consent when you subscribe to marketing communications, agree to certain cookies, submit information voluntarily, or authorise the publication or use of particular material.

Where processing is based on consent, you may withdraw that consent at any time. Withdrawal will not affect processing that occurred before consent was withdrawn.

Legitimate Interests

We may process information where reasonably necessary for the legitimate operation, administration, development, security, and promotion of Pemberley Magazine, provided that those interests are not overridden by your rights and interests.

These legitimate interests may include responding to enquiries, managing editorial relationships, understanding readership, protecting our systems, and maintaining business records.

Contractual Necessity

We may process information where necessary to enter into or perform an agreement with a contributor, advertiser, sponsor, supplier, contractor, partner, or other party.

Legal Obligations

We may process or retain information where necessary to comply with applicable laws, regulations, court orders, tax requirements, recordkeeping duties, or lawful requests from authorised public bodies.

5. Newsletters and Marketing Communications

When you subscribe to the Pemberley Magazine mailing list, we may collect your name, email address, subscription status, communication preferences, and information about how you interact with our emails.

Our newsletters may be distributed through Mailchimp or another email-service provider acting on our behalf.

You may unsubscribe at any time by selecting the unsubscribe link included in an email or by contacting us through the website.

Unsubscribing from promotional communications does not necessarily prevent us from sending administrative or transactional messages relating to an existing enquiry, agreement, submission, or legal matter.

We may retain limited information relating to an unsubscribe request so that we can honour your preference and avoid adding you back to a mailing list without permission.

6. Editorial Submissions, Interviews and Published Information

If you submit material or participate in an interview, profile, article, photograph, video, recording, event, or other editorial feature, information provided for publication may become publicly available.

This may include your name, professional information, biography, image, opinions, quotations, business details, social-media profile, website address, or other information agreed for publication.

Once information has been published online, it may be copied, indexed by search engines, archived, quoted, shared on social media, or otherwise retained by third parties outside our control.

We will use reasonable care when handling unpublished submissions and personal information, but unsolicited submissions should not contain confidential information unless confidentiality has been agreed in writing beforehand.

Editorial records may be retained after publication where reasonably necessary to maintain the Magazine’s archive, substantiate published material, administer permissions, respond to disputes, or protect legal rights.

7. Cookies and Similar Technologies

The website uses cookies and similar technologies to function properly, maintain security, remember preferences, understand website use, and support enabled features.

We may share personal information only where reasonably necessary with:

9. Third-Party Websites and Embedded Content

The website may contain links to or embedded content from third-party websites and services, including social-media platforms, video providers, retailers, booking services, maps, advertisers, or featured businesses.

These third parties may collect information directly from you or place their own cookies when you interact with their content.

Pemberley Magazine does not control the privacy, security, or data-handling practices of third-party services. You should review the relevant third party’s privacy notice before providing personal information or using its service.

A link to an external website does not mean that Pemberley Magazine is responsible for or endorses its privacy practices.

10. International Processing and Transfers

Pemberley Magazine is operated from Israel and serves an international readership.

Some of our service providers may process or store information in Israel, the United States, the United Kingdom, the European Economic Area, or other countries in which they or their service providers operate.

Privacy and data-protection laws may differ between countries. Where required, we and our service providers will rely upon recognised legal mechanisms or safeguards for international transfers of personal information.

11. Data Retention

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected and for any related legal, editorial, administrative, accounting, security, or recordkeeping requirements.

In general:

  • Newsletter information may be retained until you unsubscribe or request deletion, subject to maintaining a limited suppression record;

  • Contact enquiries may be retained for as long as necessary to respond and maintain an appropriate record;

  • Contributor, advertiser, sponsor, supplier, and contractual information may be retained for the duration of the relationship and for an appropriate period afterwards;

  • Editorial submissions and publication records may be retained as part of the Magazine’s historical and editorial archive;

  • Cookie and analytics information is retained according to the settings and retention periods of the relevant platform or service provider; and

  • Information relating to legal claims, complaints, permissions, or disputes may be retained for as long as reasonably necessary to protect legal rights.

Information may be deleted, anonymised, or securely archived when it is no longer required.

12. Data Security

We take reasonable organisational and technical measures designed to protect personal information against accidental loss, unauthorised access, misuse, alteration, disclosure, or destruction.

These measures may include restricting access to information, using reputable service providers, maintaining secure account credentials, applying platform security features, and periodically reviewing our information-handling practices.

No website, email system, or electronic method of storage can be guaranteed to be completely secure. You provide information electronically at your own discretion.

13. Your Privacy Rights

Depending upon your location and the laws that apply, you may have the right to:

  • Ask whether we hold personal information about you;

  • Opt out of promotional communications;

  • Manage non-essential cookies;

  • Submit a complaint to an applicable privacy or data-protection authority; and

  • Exercise other rights available under applicable law.

These rights are not absolute and may be limited by legal, contractual, freedom-of-expression, journalistic, archival, public-interest, or other recognised exceptions.

For example, we may need to retain certain editorial records, published material, legal correspondence, contractual information, or suppression-list information even after receiving a deletion request.

To exercise a privacy right, please contact us through the website and clearly describe your request.

We may need to verify your identity before fulfilling a request. We will respond within the period required by applicable law.

A parent or guardian who believes that a child has submitted personal information to us may contact us to request that it be reviewed or removed.

16. Automated Decision-Making

Pemberley Magazine does not ordinarily use personal information to make solely automated decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects upon individuals.

Website and email services may use automated tools for functions such as spam detection, security, analytics, content delivery, or mailing-list management.

17. Privacy Complaints

Questions, concerns, or complaints about the handling of personal information should first be submitted through the contact page on the Pemberley Magazine website.

Please provide sufficient information for us to understand and investigate the matter.

Where applicable, you may also have the right to complain to the privacy or data-protection authority responsible for your location. In Israel, privacy and personal-data matters are overseen by the Privacy Protection Authority.
