Creslum respects your privacy and aims to be clear about how information is collected and used when you visit this website.
This Privacy Policy explains what information may be collected through Creslum, why it may be used and the choices and rights available to you.
Who we are
Creslum is an independent website providing practical guides, articles, product reviews and recommendations, books and reading content, and information about planners and organisation.
Website: creslum.com
For privacy enquiries or questions about this policy, please contact:
Information you provide to us
You may provide personal information when you contact Creslum by email or through any contact facility that we introduce on the website.
This may include information such as your name, email address and any information you choose to include in your message.
Please do not send sensitive personal information unless it is necessary for your enquiry.
Information collected when you use the website
Like most websites, some technical information may be processed when you visit Creslum. Depending on the services and features in use, this may include information such as:
- IP address;
- browser and device information;
- pages visited and interactions with the website;
- approximate location derived from technical information;
- cookie or similar technology information; and
- website security and diagnostic information.
Some of this information may be processed automatically by our website hosting, security, analytics or other technology providers.
Why we use personal information
We may process personal information where necessary to:
- respond to enquiries and communicate with you;
- operate, maintain and secure the website;
- diagnose technical problems and prevent misuse or fraud;
- understand and improve how the website performs and is used;
- comply with legal or regulatory obligations; and
- manage and protect our legitimate business interests.
Lawful bases for processing
The lawful basis used depends on why information is being processed.
Where you contact Creslum, information may be processed where necessary for our legitimate interests in responding to enquiries and operating the website.
We may rely on legitimate interests where necessary to operate, maintain, improve and protect Creslum, provided those interests are not overridden by your rights and interests.
Where consent is legally required — for example, for certain cookies or similar technologies — we will seek consent before using them.
We may also process information where necessary to comply with a legal obligation.
Cookies and similar technologies
Creslum may use cookies and similar technologies required for the website to operate correctly and securely.
Other technologies may also be used for functions such as analytics, embedded content or affiliate services. Where UK law requires consent before these technologies are used, we will provide an appropriate choice.
We will review and update this section as services and technologies used by Creslum change.
Affiliate links
Some pages on Creslum contain affiliate links. If you follow an affiliate link, the third-party website or affiliate network may use cookies or similar technologies to identify that the visit originated from Creslum and, where applicable, attribute a qualifying purchase or action.
Those third parties process information according to their own privacy and cookie policies.
Using an affiliate link does not normally increase the price you pay.
Amazon Associates
Creslum participates in the Amazon Associates Programme.
As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.
When you follow an Amazon affiliate link from Creslum, you leave this website and Amazon’s own privacy, cookie and other applicable policies govern your use of Amazon’s services.
External websites
Creslum may link to websites operated by other organisations.
We are not responsible for the privacy practices, content or security of external websites. You should review the privacy information provided by those organisations when visiting their websites.
Who may process information
Information may be processed by service providers used to operate and support Creslum, such as website hosting, email, security, technical and analytics providers, where applicable.
Information may also be disclosed where required by law or where reasonably necessary to establish, exercise or defend legal rights.
We do not sell personal information.
International processing
Some service providers or third-party websites may process information outside the United Kingdom.
Where Creslum is responsible for an international transfer of personal information, we will take appropriate steps required by applicable data-protection law.
Third-party websites you choose to visit are responsible for explaining their own international data transfers.
How long we keep information
Personal information is kept only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, including responding to enquiries, maintaining appropriate business records, resolving disputes, protecting the website and meeting legal obligations.
Retention periods may therefore vary depending on the type of information and why it is held.
Your data-protection rights
Depending on the circumstances and the lawful basis being used, UK data-protection law may give you rights concerning your personal information, including rights to:
- request access to personal information held about you;
- ask for inaccurate information to be corrected;
- request deletion of information in certain circumstances;
- request restriction of processing in certain circumstances;
- object to certain processing;
- receive certain information in a portable format where applicable; and
- withdraw consent at any time where processing is based on consent.
You have the right to object to processing based on legitimate interests in certain circumstances.
To make a request or ask a question about your personal information, contact:
Complaints
If you have concerns about how Creslum handles your personal information, please contact us first at support@creslum.com so that we can investigate your concern.
You also have the right to complain to the UK Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO), the independent regulator for data protection.
