Data categories

We may process IP address, browser and device details, approximate location, referral URL, pages viewed, dates and times, cookie identifiers, affiliate click identifiers, and contact message content.

Purposes and lawful bases

We use data to operate the site, secure pages, understand readership, respond to messages, manage affiliate attribution, and comply with legal obligations.

Our lawful bases may include legitimate interests, consent where required for optional cookies, legal obligation, and responding to requests you send us.

Cookies and similar technologies

The site may use cookies, local storage, server logs, analytics tags, and similar technologies. Optional analytics or advertising cookies should be controlled by consent where required.

Affiliate tracking

Affiliate links may pass click identifiers, referral details, and transaction attribution data to networks or merchants. Those third parties process data under their own policies.

Third-party websites

Guides may link to banks, credit reference agencies, insurers, retailers, government pages, affiliate networks, analytics providers, hosting services, and email providers.

Sharing and international transfers

We may share limited data with service providers that help host, secure, measure, and maintain the website, or when required by law.

Some providers may process data outside the UK or EEA. Where required, we rely on safeguards such as adequacy decisions, standard contractual clauses, or provider contractual commitments.

Retention

We keep logs, analytics, contact emails, and affiliate records only as long as needed for security, operations, legal, tax, dispute, or audit reasons.

UK readers may complain to the Information Commissioner's Office. EU readers may contact their local supervisory authority.

Children, security, and updates

Geoffreyellis is not aimed at children. We use reasonable safeguards, but no website can guarantee absolute security.
