We collect information in two ways: information you give us directly and information collected automatically when you visit our site.

  • Information you provide: When you fill in our contact form, leave a comment, or email us, we may collect your name, email address, and the content of your message.
  • Information collected automatically: Like most websites, we collect standard log data such as your IP address, browser type, device type, pages visited, referring pages, and the date and time of your visit.

Cookies and Tracking Technologies

Life in a Week uses cookies and similar technologies to remember your preferences, understand site traffic, and improve your experience. Cookies are small text files stored on your device. You can choose to disable cookies through your browser settings, although some parts of the website may not work as intended if you do.

Third-Party Services

We may use trusted third-party services, such as analytics tools, hosting providers, and embedded content from other websites (for example videos or social media posts). These services may collect information about you according to their own privacy policies. We do not control how these third parties use your data, so we encourage you to review their policies.

Advertising and Affiliate Links

Some of our content may include sponsored articles, advertisements, or affiliate links. If you click an affiliate link and make a purchase, we may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you. Advertising partners may use cookies to show you relevant ads based on your visits to this and other websites.

Comments

When you leave a comment on our website, we collect the information shown in the comment form, along with your IP address and browser details to help with spam detection. Your comment and the name you provide may be visible to the public.

How We Share Your Information

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information. We may share information only:

  • With service providers who help us run our website, under appropriate confidentiality terms
  • When required by law, regulation, or a valid legal request
  • To protect the rights, safety, and property of Life in a Week, our readers, or others

Data Retention

We keep personal information only for as long as needed for the purposes described in this policy, or as required by law. Messages sent through our contact form are kept only as long as needed to respond and follow up.

Data Security

We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect your information. However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to:

  • Access the personal information we hold about you
  • Ask us to correct or update inaccurate information
  • Ask us to delete your personal information
  • Object to or restrict certain types of processing
