Quivabubblecactus Publishing Ltd, 18 North Street, Bristol, BS3 1HW, United Kingdom, company no. 15284736, is responsible for personal information it processes for this website and its editorial correspondence. Contact [email protected] with privacy questions or rights requests.
Reading the site
The supplied website pages do not include advertising trackers, analytics scripts, account creation or embedded third-party media. Page delivery may involve technical records maintained by the hosting service, such as an IP address, requested address, time, browser information and error records. Such information may be used to deliver the site, maintain security and investigate faults, on the basis of legitimate interests in operating a secure publication.
The local message tool
Text entered into the Contact page is used in your browser to construct a plain-text message. The site’s message tool does not submit that text to us, store it in localStorage or send it to an external service. Reloading or leaving the page normally clears the working draft, subject to your browser’s own form-restoration behaviour.
“Copy message” writes the prepared text to your device’s clipboard with your browser’s permission. Other applications or device features may be able to read clipboard contents. “Save text” creates a file on your device. You control the retention and security of copied or downloaded material. The tool’s behaviour is separate from an email you later choose to send.
When you email us
If you send correspondence, we receive the information you provide, such as your name, email address, message, attachments and ordinary email metadata. We use it to respond, assess corrections, maintain editorial records and address legal or security matters. Our usual basis is legitimate interests in running the publication and handling enquiries; legal obligations may also apply.
Please do not send unnecessary sensitive information or another person’s private details. We do not use editorial enquiries to enrol you in marketing lists, and we do not sell personal information.
Recipients and international handling
Hosting, email and technical service providers may process information as needed to supply their services. Information may also be disclosed where required by law or necessary to establish or defend legal rights. Where a service arrangement involves a restricted international transfer, applicable data-protection safeguards must be used.
Retention and security
We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably needed for the purpose for which it was collected, including an ongoing enquiry, correction record, dispute or legal obligation. Relevant factors include the sensitivity of the information, the need to document editorial decisions and applicable limitation periods. Technical records should be retained no longer than operational and security needs require. No internet service or email channel can be guaranteed completely secure.
Your rights
Depending on the circumstances, UK data-protection law gives you rights to access, correct or erase information, restrict processing, object to processing and receive certain information in a portable form. Where processing relies on consent, you may withdraw it without affecting earlier lawful processing. These rights are subject to applicable conditions and exemptions.
Contact us to make a request; we may need proportionate information to verify your identity. You may complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office. We welcome the opportunity to address a concern first, but this is not a requirement.
External links and changes
Linked websites operate under their own privacy notices. Read those notices before supplying information to an estate or another organisation. We may update this page when the site’s processing changes. For browser storage information, see our Cookies page.
