This Privacy Policy explains what personal information we collect when you visit nationpulse.uk (the "Website"), subscribe to our newsletter or contact us, how we use it, who we share it with and the rights you have over it.

Information collected automatically

  • Technical and usage data: your IP address, browser type, device type, operating system, referring website, the pages you view and the date and time of your visit.

We do not ask for, and do not knowingly collect, sensitive personal information such as health data, religious beliefs or financial account details.

Push notifications

If you click "Allow alerts", your browser gives us a unique push address and encryption keys so we can send you news alerts. We store these only to send notifications, never with your name or email address. You can switch alerts off at any time in your browser's site settings; we automatically delete addresses that stop working.

3. How we use your information

4. Legal bases

Where data protection laws such as the UK GDPR or EU GDPR apply, we rely on: your consent (for example for the newsletter and non-essential cookies, which you can withdraw at any time); our legitimate interests in running, securing and improving a news website and responding to enquiries; and compliance with our legal obligations.

  • to protect the rights, safety and security of NationPulse, our readers or others.

7. International transfers

We use appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect personal information, including encrypted connections (HTTPS) and restricted access to our systems. No method of transmission over the internet is completely secure, but we work hard to protect your information.

10. Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access the personal information we hold about you, have it corrected or deleted, restrict or object to how we use it, receive a copy in a portable format and withdraw your consent at any time.
