Privacy, in plain sight

How Bureau Maennel handles reader information, cookies, analytics, affiliate tracking, and privacy requests.

Controller and information collected

Bureau Maennel is the controller for information collected through this site. This can include contact details you choose to send, technical log information, approximate location, device and browser data, and cookie identifiers.

Why we use information

We use information to operate and secure the site, respond to messages, understand aggregate readership, comply with legal obligations, and measure affiliate links where relevant. Our lawful bases can include consent, legitimate interests, contractual necessity, and legal obligations.

Cookies, analytics, and affiliate links

Cookies and similar technologies may remember choices, support analytics, and record whether a reader reached a third-party merchant through an eligible affiliate link. Third parties apply their own privacy policies.

Sharing and international transfers

We may use service providers for hosting, analytics, email, and affiliate measurement. Where information is transferred outside the UK or EEA, we use appropriate safeguards where required. We do not sell personal information.

Retention and reader rights

We retain information only as long as necessary for the purpose collected or for legal and security needs. UK and EEA readers may request access, correction, deletion, restriction, objection, portability, or withdrawal of consent.

Children, security, and complaints

The site is not directed at children. We apply reasonable technical and organisational safeguards. You may contact us or raise a concern with the relevant data-protection authority.
