Privacy Policy

Last updated: September 2026

Springers24 (“we”, “us”, “our”) operates the website www.springers24.com (the “Site”), a lifestyle, entertainment and news blog. This Privacy Policy explains what personal data we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have — including in connection with advertising served by Google and our other partners.

If you have any questions about this policy, you can contact us at springers24blog@gmail.com.

1. Information We Collect

Information you give us directly

  • Comments: when you leave a comment on a post, we collect the name, email address, and website (optional) you provide, along with the content of your comment.
  • Contact and submission forms: if you use our “Share your story!” form or contact us by email, we collect the information you choose to provide, such as your name, email address, and the content of your message.
  • Newsletter / follow subscriptions: if you subscribe to receive updates from us, we collect your email address for that purpose. This may be handled through a third-party subscription service (e.g. follow.it), which has its own privacy policy governing how it processes your data.
  • Shop orders: if you make a purchase through our shop, we (and our payment processor) collect the information necessary to process your order, such as your name, delivery address, email address, and payment details. We do not store your full payment card details ourselves — this is handled by our payment processor.

Information collected automatically

When you visit the Site, certain information is collected automatically, including:

  • your IP address;
  • browser type and version;
  • device type and operating system;
  • pages visited, time spent on pages, and referring website;
  • general location information inferred from your IP address.

This information is collected via server logs, cookies, and similar tracking technologies, including those used by analytics and advertising partners (see Section 3).

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

  • operate, maintain, and improve the Site;
  • respond to comments, messages, and story submissions;
  • process and fulfil shop orders;
  • send newsletter or update emails to subscribers, where you have opted in;
  • understand how visitors use the Site (analytics);
  • serve advertising, including personalised advertising, through Google and other advertising partners;
  • detect, prevent, and address technical issues, fraud, or misuse of the Site.

3. Cookies and Advertising

Cookies

We use cookies and similar technologies to operate the Site, remember your preferences, analyse traffic, and serve advertising. When you first visit the Site, you will be shown a cookie consent banner where you can accept or decline non-essential cookies, including advertising and analytics cookies.

Cookies we use fall into these categories:

  • Essential cookies — required for the Site to function correctly.
  • Analytics cookies — help us understand how visitors use the Site.
  • Advertising cookies — used by us and our advertising partners, including Google, to serve ads and measure their performance.

Google AdSense and personalised advertising

We use, or intend to use, Google AdSense to display advertising on the Site. Google and its partners use cookies, web beacons, and similar technologies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites.

Third-party vendors, including Google, may show our ads on sites across the internet, and some of these vendors may collect information about your visits to this and other sites in order to provide relevant advertisements.

[If you add Google Analytics, Meta/Facebook Pixel, or any other analytics or ad tool, list each one here by name along with a link to its own privacy/opt-out page.]

4. Sharing Your Information

We do not sell your personal information. We may share information with:

  • Service providers who help us operate the Site (e.g. hosting providers, email/subscription services, payment processors);
  • Advertising partners, including Google, as described in Section 3;
  • Legal authorities, where required to comply with the law, protect our rights, or ensure the safety of others.

5. Data Retention

We retain personal data only for as long as necessary for the purposes described in this policy — for example, comments and order records are kept for as long as your account or the related content remains active, unless you ask us to delete them sooner and we are not required to keep them for legal reasons (such as tax records for shop orders).

6. Your Rights

If you are located in the UK or the European Economic Area, you have rights under the UK GDPR / EU GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018, including the right to:

  • access the personal data we hold about you;
  • request correction of inaccurate data;
  • request deletion of your data;
  • object to or restrict certain processing, including processing for personalised advertising;
  • withdraw consent at any time where processing is based on consent (e.g. cookies, newsletter emails);
  • lodge a complaint with the UK Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) at ico.org.uk, or your local data protection authority if you are elsewhere in the EEA.

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at springers24blog@gmail.com.

7. Children’s Privacy

The Site is not directed at children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us so we can delete it.

8. International Data Transfers

Some of our service providers, including Google, may process data outside of the UK/EEA. Where this happens, appropriate safeguards (such as Standard Contractual Clauses) are used to protect your information, in line with those providers’ own privacy policies.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated “Last updated” date.
