01 — INFORMATION WE COLLECT

Information We Collect

1.1 Information You Provide Directly

When you use our contact form, you voluntarily supply a name and email address. This information is used solely to respond to your enquiry and is not retained beyond the period necessary to address your message. We do not request, store, or process payment details, identity documents, or sensitive personal data of any kind through our contact form.

1.2 Information Collected Automatically

When you visit solen.info, certain technical data is recorded automatically by our hosting infrastructure. This includes your Internet Protocol (IP) address, the browser type and version you are using, the pages of this publication you visit, the time and date of your visit, and the time spent on each page. This data is used in aggregate to understand readership patterns and improve editorial content.

1.3 Cookies and Tracking Technologies

This website uses cookies to support site functionality and to gather anonymised analytics data. A full description of the cookies in use, their purpose, and your options for managing them is provided in our Cookie Policy. You may adjust your cookie preferences at any time via the Cookie Settings link in the footer of this page.

02 — USE OF INFORMATION

How We Use Your Information

Solen Quarterly uses the information collected from readers for the following purposes only:

  • ── Responding to reader enquiries. Contact form submissions are used exclusively to reply to the reader's message. No further contact is made unless the reader initiates it.
  • ── Improving editorial content. Aggregated, anonymised analytics data helps us understand which topics and articles are most relevant to our readership. Individual readers are never identified from this data.
  • ── Ensuring site security and performance. Technical logs are maintained for a limited period to identify and address any issues affecting the availability or integrity of the site.
  • ── Compliance with legal obligations. Where required by applicable law, we may retain or disclose information to regulatory or law enforcement authorities.

We do not use reader information for advertising profiling, re-marketing, or sale to third parties. Solen Quarterly does not operate a subscriber list or send unsolicited communications.

03 — LEGAL BASIS (UK GDPR)

Legal Basis for Processing

Solen Quarterly is based in the United Kingdom and processes personal data in accordance with the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018. Our legal bases for processing are as follows:

LEGITIMATE INTEREST

The collection of anonymised technical data for site performance and security is conducted under legitimate interest. This processing is necessary to maintain a functional and secure publication.

CONSENT

Where cookies beyond strictly functional ones are set, this is done on the basis of your consent, which you can grant, limit, or withdraw through the Cookie Settings panel at any time.

CONTRACT

Where you contact us directly with an enquiry, the handling of your contact details is necessary to fulfil our obligation to respond. No contract of sale or services is implied.

LEGAL OBLIGATION

Certain data may be retained or disclosed where required by applicable law, including compliance with court orders or requests from regulatory bodies operating within the United Kingdom.

04 — RETENTION & SHARING

Data Retention and Sharing

Retention Periods

Contact form data is retained only for the period required to address the relevant enquiry, and no longer than 90 days thereafter. Technical log data is retained for a maximum of 12 months, after which it is deleted or anonymised. Cookie-based analytics data is retained for the period stated in our Cookie Policy.

Third-Party Sharing

Solen Quarterly does not sell, rent, or trade personal data with third parties. Where third-party services are used to operate this website (including hosting infrastructure and anonymised analytics tools), those providers are engaged under data processing agreements that restrict their use of any data they handle on our behalf.

This website embeds a Google Maps iframe on the contact page. When you load that page, your browser may exchange technical data with Google LLC in accordance with their own privacy documentation. Solen Quarterly does not receive personally identifiable information from this interaction.

CDN-hosted font and library files (Google Fonts, jsDelivr, unpkg, Cloudflare CDN) may result in brief technical connections to those services when you load pages on this site. Solen Quarterly does not control the data-handling practices of these CDN providers.
