Privacy Policy

1. What we collect

We collect only what we need:

• Email — for the newsletter and your account.
• Name — to address you and personalise the reading experience.
• Payment details — only if you choose membership; handled by our payment processor, never stored by us.

2. Why we collect it

To deliver stories you signed up for, run your account, process payments, and (with your consent) understand how the site is read so we can improve it.

3. How long we keep it

We keep your data only as long as your account is active or as required by law. If you ask us to delete it, we will do so within 30 days, unless we are legally required to retain certain records (for example, payment receipts).

4. Consent

We ask for your consent before collecting your data and before sending you any marketing email. You may withdraw your consent at any time — every email has a one-click unsubscribe link, and you can email us to revoke consent for anything else.

5. Your rights

You have the right to access the data we hold on you, correct it if it's wrong, and ask us to erase it. You also have the right to raise a grievance. To exercise any of these, email our Grievance Officer (below) and we will respond within the timelines required by law.

6. Security

We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect your data — encryption in transit, access controls, and regular review of who can see what. No system is perfectly secure, but we treat your data with care.

7. Data breach notification

If a breach occurs that is likely to affect your rights, we will notify you and the relevant authority within 72 hours of becoming aware of it.

8. Children's data

ReadSchools is for readers aged 18 and over. We do not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under 18 without verifiable parental consent. If you believe a child has provided us data, please contact us and we will delete it.
