Timely Times (“Timely Times”, “we”, “us”, or “our”) respects your privacy and is committed to handling personal information responsibly. This Privacy Policy explains what information may be collected when you visit https://timelytimes.co.uk/, how that information may be used, when it may be shared, and the choices and rights available to you.

This website publishes English-language articles, including celebrity biographies and general-interest content. This Privacy Policy applies to information collected through the website and related communications. It does not apply to third-party websites, services, or platforms that may be linked from our pages.

1. Information We May Collect

Information you provide voluntarily

You may provide personal information when you contact us, request a correction, submit a privacy enquiry, report a concern, or otherwise communicate with us. This information may include your name, email address, the contents of your message, and any other information you choose to provide.

Please avoid sending sensitive personal information unless it is necessary for your request. We do not ask visitors to provide government identification numbers, financial account details, health information, or similar sensitive data through ordinary website communications.

Information collected automatically

When you visit the website, certain technical and usage information may be collected automatically by our hosting provider, security tools, analytics services, advertising partners, or similar technologies. Depending on the services enabled on the website, this information may include:

• Internet Protocol (IP) address;
• browser type and version;
• device type and operating system;
• language and time-zone settings;
• pages viewed and links clicked;
• referring and exit pages;
• date, time, and approximate duration of visits;
• approximate location derived from an IP address;
• cookie identifiers, advertising identifiers, or similar online identifiers; and
• information about errors, performance, fraud, or security events.

We generally use this information in aggregated or pseudonymised form where reasonably possible.

2. Sources of Information

We may collect information directly from you, automatically from your browser or device, and from service providers that help us operate, secure, measure, or monetise the website. We may also receive limited information from publicly available sources where necessary to investigate a correction request, copyright complaint, impersonation concern, or similar issue.

3. How We Use Information

We may use personal information for the following purposes:

• to operate, maintain, secure, and improve the website;
• to respond to messages, questions, complaints, correction requests, and legal notices;
• to understand how readers find and use our content;
• to measure website traffic, engagement, and performance;
• to personalise content or advertising where permitted;
• to detect spam, fraud, abuse, malicious activity, and technical problems;
• to enforce our Terms and Conditions;
• to comply with legal obligations and protect our rights or the rights of others; and
• to create aggregated statistics that do not reasonably identify an individual.

We do not use personal information to make decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects solely through automated processing.

4. Legal Bases for Processing

Where UK or European data-protection law applies, we rely on one or more of the following legal bases:

Consent: for example, where you choose to accept non-essential cookies or request a specific communication.

Legitimate interests: for example, operating and improving the website, measuring readership, preventing abuse, protecting security, responding to enquiries, and maintaining accurate records. We consider whether these interests are balanced against your privacy rights.

Legal obligation: where processing is necessary to comply with applicable law, regulation, court order, or lawful request.

Establishment, exercise, or defence of legal claims: where necessary to protect our rights or respond to a dispute.

You may withdraw consent at any time where processing is based on consent. Withdrawal does not affect processing that was lawful before consent was withdrawn.

5. Cookies and Similar Technologies

Cookies are small text files or similar technologies stored on or accessed through your device. We may use the following categories:

Strictly necessary cookies, which support essential website functions, security, network management, or your privacy choices.

Preference cookies, which remember settings such as language or display preferences.

Analytics cookies, which help us understand traffic, popular pages, visitor journeys, and website performance.

Advertising cookies, which may be used to deliver, measure, limit, or personalise advertisements and to understand whether advertising is effective.

Where required by law, non-essential cookies are used only after you provide consent through the website’s cookie controls. You can change your preferences through the cookie banner or settings tool, when available. You can also adjust your browser to block or delete cookies, although some website features may not function properly as a result.

6. Analytics, Advertising, and Third-Party Services

We may use third-party providers for hosting, content delivery, security, analytics, advertising, email, or website administration. These providers may process technical information or online identifiers on our behalf or for their own permitted purposes, subject to their terms and privacy notices.

Advertising partners may use cookies or similar technologies to measure advertisements or show content based on your activity, where permitted. We do not sell personal information for money. However, certain disclosures involving online advertising may be treated as a “sale” or “sharing” under some United States privacy laws. Where applicable, we will provide legally required opt-out mechanisms.

The exact providers used by the website may change over time. Visitors should also review any cookie settings or third-party notices made available on the website.

7. When We May Share Information

We may disclose personal information to:

• hosting, security, analytics, advertising, email, and technical service providers;
• professional advisers, such as lawyers or accountants, where reasonably necessary;
• government authorities, regulators, courts, or law-enforcement bodies when required by law or a valid legal process;
• a purchaser, successor, or adviser in connection with a merger, sale, restructuring, financing, or transfer of all or part of the website; or
• other parties when you direct us to share information or provide valid consent.

We may also disclose aggregated or de-identified information that cannot reasonably be used to identify you.

8. International Data Transfers

Our readers and service providers may be located in different countries, including the United Kingdom, the United States, and other jurisdictions. As a result, personal information may be processed outside the country where you live.

Where required, we use appropriate safeguards for international transfers, such as contractual protections, adequacy regulations or decisions, or another lawful transfer mechanism. You may contact us for further information about safeguards relevant to your information.

9. Data Retention

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, including to respond to communications, maintain security records, resolve disputes, enforce agreements, and meet legal obligations.

Retention periods vary according to the type of information and the reason it is processed. For example, ordinary correspondence may be kept for as long as needed to address the matter and maintain an appropriate record, while security logs may be retained for a shorter or longer period depending on risk, technical requirements, and legal obligations. Aggregated or de-identified information may be retained for longer because it does not reasonably identify an individual.

10. Data Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organisational measures designed to protect personal information against unauthorised access, loss, misuse, alteration, or disclosure. These measures may include access controls, security monitoring, software updates, backups, and secure hosting practices.

No method of internet transmission or electronic storage is completely secure. We therefore cannot guarantee absolute security. You are responsible for using appropriate caution when sending information online.

11. Your Privacy Rights

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

• request access to personal information we hold about you;
• request correction of inaccurate or incomplete information;
• request deletion of personal information;
• request restriction of processing;
• object to certain processing, including processing based on legitimate interests;
• receive certain information in a portable format;
• withdraw consent where processing is based on consent;
• opt out of certain targeted advertising, sale, or sharing activities where applicable; and
• lodge a complaint with a data-protection authority.

These rights are not absolute and may be subject to legal exceptions. We may need to verify your identity before completing a request. To exercise a privacy right, email us at timelytiimes@gmail.com and describe your request clearly.

UK residents may complain to the UK Information Commissioner’s Office if they believe their data-protection rights have been infringed. Residents of the European Economic Area may contact the supervisory authority in the country where they live or work.

12. United States and California Privacy Notice

Residents of certain United States states may have additional privacy rights. To the extent the California Consumer Privacy Act, as amended, or another state privacy law applies to Timely Times, eligible residents may request information about categories or specific pieces of personal information collected, request deletion or correction, and opt out of certain sale, sharing, targeted advertising, or profiling activities.

We do not discriminate against a person for exercising an applicable privacy right. We do not knowingly use or disclose sensitive personal information for purposes that require a right to limit under California law.

If our use of advertising or analytics technology is legally considered a sale or sharing of personal information, eligible users may submit an opt-out request using available cookie controls, a recognised browser-based opt-out preference signal where required, or by emailing timelytiimes@gmail.com.

This section applies only where the relevant law covers our activities. Nothing in this Privacy Policy grants rights that do not apply under the law of your jurisdiction.

13. Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control

Some browsers offer a “Do Not Track” setting. Because there is no single universally applied standard for responding to all Do Not Track signals, our website may not respond to such signals in every circumstance.

Where required by applicable law, we will process recognised opt-out preference signals, such as Global Privacy Control, as a request to opt out of sale or sharing for the browser or device sending the signal.

14. Children’s Privacy

Timely Times is a general-audience website and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided personal information to us, contact us at timelytiimes@gmail.com so that we can review and, where appropriate, delete it.

15. Third-Party Links

Articles may contain links to third-party websites, social-media pages, videos, advertisements, or other external resources. We do not control those third parties and are not responsible for their privacy, security, accuracy, or content. Your use of an external service is governed by that service’s own terms and privacy notice.

16. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes in the website, our practices, technology, service providers, or legal requirements. The revised version will be posted on this page with an updated date. Material changes may also be highlighted through an additional website notice where appropriate.
