1. Information we collect

We may collect:

• Your email address and newsletter preferences when you subscribe.
• Your name, email address and any information you provide when contacting us.
• Technical information such as your IP address, browser, device type, approximate location, pages visited and referral source.
• Information about interactions with product and affiliate links.
• Cookie preferences and consent records.

We do not process payments or collect payment-card information. Purchases are completed directly on third-party retailers’ websites.

2. How we use your information

We use personal information to:

• Send our newsletter when you have requested it.
• Respond to enquiries.
• Operate, secure and improve the website.
• Understand how visitors use the website.
• Measure the performance of editorial and affiliate links.
• Meet legal and regulatory obligations.

Where applicable, we process information based on your consent, our legitimate interests in operating and improving The Edit, or compliance with a legal obligation.

3. Newsletter

We send marketing emails only where you have subscribed or otherwise lawfully agreed to receive them.

You may unsubscribe at any time by selecting the unsubscribe link in an email or contacting us at [CONTACT EMAIL]. Unsubscribing does not affect processing already carried out lawfully.

4. Cookies and analytics

The website may use essential cookies required for security, navigation and remembering your privacy choices.

With your permission, we may also use analytics or similar technologies to understand website activity. Non-essential analytics and advertising technologies will not be activated until you provide consent where consent is legally required.

You can accept, reject or change your cookie preferences through the website’s cookie settings. You can also restrict cookies through your browser, although some website functions may then be unavailable.

5. Affiliate links

Some product links are affiliate links. If you follow one of these links or make a purchase, the relevant retailer or affiliate network may record the referral and may use cookies or similar technologies.

The retailer and affiliate network process information under their own privacy and cookie policies. The Edit does not receive your payment details or full purchase information.

6. Service providers and data sharing

We may use trusted service providers for website hosting, analytics, email distribution, security, technical support and affiliate-link management.

These providers may process information only to provide their services to us or as independently described in their own privacy policies. We do not sell your personal information.

We may disclose information where required by law, to protect our legal rights or in connection with a business reorganisation.

7. International transfers

Some service providers may process information outside Switzerland, the United Kingdom or the European Economic Area.

Where required, we use recognised legal safeguards, adequacy decisions or appropriate contractual protections for international transfers.

8. Data retention

We retain personal information only for as long as it is reasonably required for the purpose for which it was collected and to meet legal obligations.

Newsletter information is generally retained until you unsubscribe. We may retain a minimal suppression record to ensure that you do not receive further marketing emails. Correspondence, security records and analytics information are retained only for an appropriate and limited period.

9. Your rights

Depending on the law applicable to you, you may have the right to:

• Request access to your personal information.
• Ask us to correct inaccurate information.
• Request deletion or restriction of your information.
• Object to certain processing.
• Withdraw your consent.
• Request data portability where applicable.
• Complain to the relevant data-protection authority.

To exercise your rights, contact [CONTACT EMAIL]. We may need to verify your identity before responding.

In Switzerland, the relevant supervisory authority is the Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner. Visitors in the European Economic Area or United Kingdom may also contact their local data-protection authority where applicable.

10. External websites

The Edit links to retailers, brands and other external websites. We do not control their privacy practices. Please review the privacy and cookie policies of any external website you visit.

11. Security

We take reasonable organisational and technical measures to protect personal information. However, no internet transmission or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

12. Children

The website is intended for a general adult audience and is not designed to collect personal information knowingly from children.
