Maghullradio.co.uk Privacy Policy – Your Data Clearly Protected

This policy explains in clear terms what we collect, why we collect it, how we protect it, and the rights you have. Maghullradio.co.uk is an educational site—we don’t operate games, open player accounts, or process payments. We keep data collection minimal and purpose-driven, and we never sell personal information. If you have questions, you can contact us via email.

Data We Collect – How It Enhances Your Experience

We collect only what is necessary to run the site, improve performance, and keep your experience safe and personal.

Usage data: pages viewed, clicks, time on page, referring URLs. Helps us see what content works and what needs fixing.
Device & technical data: browser, OS, screen size, approximate location (from IP), error logs. Used to optimise speed and diagnose bugs.
Preference data: language, cookie choices, display settings. Let's us remember safe, non-sensitive options.
Communication data: if you email us, we store your message and address to reply and keep a record.

We apply data minimisation and limited retention. When data is no longer needed, we delete or aggregate it.

Responsible Data Use – Improving Services Securely

We use information to deliver a site that is fast, stable, and useful—never to build advertising profiles.

Reliability & security: detect abuse, prevent fraud, and keep downtime low.
Product improvement: measure performance, prioritise fixes, and plan updates.
Personalisation: remember safe preferences like language or layout.
Support: respond to your questions and resolve issues you report.

Each new use goes through a necessity and privacy review before launch.

Sharing Data – Trusted Partners Only

We share data only with service providers that help us host, secure, or analyse the site (e.g., cloud hosting, performance monitoring). They act as processors under written agreements: they must protect your data, follow our instructions, and cannot use it for their own marketing.
If we must disclose information to comply with the law, we limit the scope to the legal minimum and, where allowed, keep a record of the request. We do not sell personal data.

If a provider processes data outside your country, we rely on appropriate safeguards (such as standard contractual clauses) to protect your information.

Your Rights – Access, Modify, or Delete Anytime

You stay in control of your data. Subject to applicable law, you may:

Access the personal data we hold about you.
Rectify inaccurate or incomplete data.
Delete data when it’s no longer needed or when you withdraw consent.
Restrict or object to certain processing based on legitimate interests.
Port data you provided to us, in a usable format.
Manage consent for optional cookies at any time.

To exercise these rights, contact us via email with a short description of your request and the page URL if relevant. We will verify your identity (minimally) and respond promptly, typically within 72 hours.

Optional cookies load only with your consent. Manage them in our banner or your browser settings. Blocking essential cookies may affect basic functions like security or page rendering.

Staying Informed – Updates on Our Privacy Practices

We may revise this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our services, legal requirements, or industry standards. The latest version will always be published on this page and will take effect immediately upon posting.

For significant updates, we may also use additional notices—such as banners, pop-ups, or email (where applicable)—to make sure you are aware of the changes and have the chance to review them.

We encourage you to check this page periodically, so you remain informed about how we handle your data and protect your privacy. If you have any questions about updates or how they affect you, please contact us via email.
