This privacy policy explains what personal data we collect when you visit doralen.info, why we collect it, how we use it, and what rights you have. It is prepared in accordance with the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018.

We do not collect sensitive personal data, financial data, or any data relating to minors. We do not sell, rent, or commercially transfer personal data to third parties.
We process personal data only where we have a lawful basis to do so under UK GDPR. The applicable legal bases for Doralen Journal are:
Operating and improving our editorial website, maintaining site security, and understanding aggregate reading patterns to inform our editorial direction. We have assessed that these interests do not override the rights of our readers.
Where we deploy non-essential cookies or analytics beyond basic server logging, we ask for your consent through the cookie consent banner. You may withdraw consent at any time using the Cookie Settings link in the footer.
When you submit a contact form, processing your name and email address is necessary so as to respond to your message and fulfil the communication you have initiated.
We may retain certain data where required by applicable law, including records necessary to demonstrate compliance with data protection obligations.
We retain personal data only for as long as is necessary to fulfil the purpose for which it was collected, or as required by applicable law. Our general retention periods are:
The operation of Doralen Journal involves a limited number of third-party service providers. We share data with these parties only to the extent necessary for them to provide services to us, and only where appropriate data processing agreements are in place.
We do not transfer personal data outside the United Kingdom or the European Economic Area except where this occurs as a consequence of using the third-party services described above, and only where appropriate safeguards (such as standard contractual clauses) are in place.
Under UK GDPR you have the following rights with respect to your personal data. You may exercise any of these rights by contacting us at [email protected]. We will respond within 30 calendar days.
You have the right to request a copy of the personal data we hold about you, together with information about how it is processed.
You have the right to request correction of inaccurate personal data we hold about you, or completion of incomplete data.
You have the right to request deletion of your personal data where there is no compelling reason for us to continue processing it, subject to any legal obligations that require us to retain it.
You have the right to request that we restrict the processing of your personal data in certain circumstances, for example while a query about its accuracy is being resolved.
You have the right to object to processing of your personal data where we rely on legitimate interests as the legal basis. We will cease processing unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds that override your interests.
Where processing is based on consent, you may withdraw that consent at any time. Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out prior to the withdrawal.
If you are dissatisfied with how we have handled your personal data, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO). The ICO can be contacted at ico.org.uk or by telephone on 0303 123 1113.

In the event of a personal data incident that poses a risk to your rights and freedoms, we will notify the Information Commissioner's Office and affected individuals as required under UK GDPR.
