This privacy policy explains how The Prop Journalist collects, uses and protects information when you visit thepropjournalist.com or interact with its content.
1. Information collected
When you visit the website, certain information may be collected automatically, including:
- your IP address;
- browser, device and operating-system information;
- approximate location based on your IP address;
- referring pages and URLs;
- pages viewed, links selected and website searches;
- dates, times and general usage information; and
- cookie identifiers, security logs and diagnostic information.
The website does not normally collect sensitive personal information, payment details, passwords or precise GPS location from visitors.
2. How information is used
Information may be used to:
- operate, maintain and secure the website;
- understand how visitors use the website;
- improve articles, features and user experience;
- detect technical problems, fraud or misuse;
- protect legal rights; and
- comply with legal obligations.
Where required by data-protection law, information is processed based on consent, legal obligations or legitimate interests in operating and improving the website.
3. Cookies and analytics
The website may use cookies and similar technologies for security, functionality, preferences and audience measurement.
Google Analytics is used to understand how visitors use the website. It may process information such as page activity, browser and device details, referral information, approximate location and pseudonymous identifiers.
Where required, consent is requested before non-essential cookies are used. Cookies can also be controlled or deleted through browser settings. Blocking cookies may affect parts of the website.
Further information is available in Google’s Privacy Policy and its Google Analytics data information.
4. Sharing information
Information may be shared with service providers that support the website, including providers of:
- website hosting and infrastructure;
- analytics;
- security, backups and technical support; and
- professional or legal services.
Information may also be disclosed when required by law, in response to a lawful request, to protect legal rights or safety, or in connection with a sale, transfer or reorganisation of the website or business.
The Prop Journalist does not currently sell personal information for money.
5. International processing
Some service providers may process information outside the United Kingdom or the country in which a visitor lives.
Where required, recognised legal safeguards are used for international transfers, including adequacy decisions, contractual protections or other lawful transfer mechanisms.
6. Retention
Information is retained only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy.
The appropriate period depends on the nature of the information, why it was collected, legal requirements, security needs and whether it may be required to resolve a dispute or protect legal rights.
Anonymised information that can no longer identify an individual may be retained for longer.
7. Security
Reasonable technical and organisational measures are used to protect information. However, no website, storage system or internet transmission can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
8. Privacy rights
Depending on where they live, visitors may have rights concerning their personal information. These may include rights to:
- access personal information;
- correct inaccurate information;
- request deletion or restriction;
- object to certain processing;
- withdraw consent;
- request data portability; and
- complain to an appropriate data-protection authority.
These rights may be subject to legal conditions and exemptions.
UK residents can find information about their rights from the Information Commissioner’s Office.
9. External websites and services
The website may link to or display content from third-party websites and services, including prop firms, social-media platforms, video providers and affiliate partners.
Those organisations may collect information under their own privacy policies when visitors follow a link or interact with their services. The Prop Journalist is not responsible for their privacy practices.
10. Changes to this policy
This policy may be updated occasionally to reflect changes to the website, service providers or applicable law.
The current version will be published on this page with an updated revision date.
