Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy was last updated on 22 September 2026.

Who We Are

showpulseux operates this commercial website as a tech blog focused on digital media. We act as the data controller under UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018. Our role involves deciding the purposes and means of processing personal data collected through the site. We are responsible for ensuring all processing complies with applicable law.

Scope of This Policy

This notice applies to all visitors to the website who are located in the United Kingdom. It covers data collected when you browse articles, interact with the blog, submit forms on the Contacts page, or receive marketing communications. It does not cover third-party websites linked from our content.

Categories of Personal Data and Sources

We collect contact details such as name and email address when you use the contact form. Usage data including IP address, browser type, and pages viewed is obtained automatically through server logs and analytics tools. Comments on blog posts may include your username and any information you choose to share. Data comes directly from you or from your device.

Purposes of Processing and Legal Bases

We process data to respond to enquiries on the basis of legitimate interests and to deliver blog content under contract performance. Analytics help improve the site on legitimate interests grounds. Newsletter subscriptions rely on consent. Direct marketing uses consent or soft opt-in under PECR where appropriate. Each purpose is matched to a specific legal basis to ensure lawful processing.

Whether Providing Data Is Required

Supplying contact information for enquiries is voluntary but necessary to receive a response. Failing to provide it means we cannot assist you. Usage data is collected automatically and you can limit it through browser settings though this may affect site functionality.

Cookies and Similar Technologies

We use cookies for essential site operation, analytics, and preference storage. Full details appear in our separate Cookie Policy which explains how to manage preferences via the site-wide cookie banner. PECR consent rules are followed for non-essential cookies.

Processors, Recipients and Disclosures

Service providers such as hosting companies, analytics platforms and email delivery services act as processors under contract. We may disclose data to comply with legal obligations or protect rights. Categories include IT support and content delivery networks.

International Transfers

Some processors may be located outside the UK. Transfers occur only with appropriate safeguards such as UK approved standard contractual clauses or adequacy decisions to maintain protection levels.

Data Retention

Contact data is kept for up to two years after the last interaction. Blog comments remain published indefinitely unless removed on request. Analytics data is retained for 14 months. Criteria include legal requirements and operational needs.

Security and Data Minimisation

Reasonable technical measures including encryption in transit and access controls protect data. We collect only what is necessary for stated purposes and regularly review storage practices.

Your Data Subject Rights

You may request access, rectification, erasure, restriction, portability or objection. Submit requests using the contact form or by emailing [email protected]. We respond within one month.

Withdrawing Consent and Objecting to Marketing

Where processing relies on consent you can withdraw it at any time via the contact form or unsubscribe links. You can object to direct marketing and profiling at any time without charge.

Complaining to the Supervisory Authority

If unsatisfied you may complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office at ico.org.uk or by post to their office. We encourage contacting us first to resolve concerns.

Children and Age Restrictions

The site is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect data from those under this age. If we become aware of such data it will be deleted promptly.

Automated Decision-Making and Profiling

No solely automated decisions with legal effects are made. Limited profiling for content recommendations occurs with user consent and can be disabled.

Changes to This Policy

We review the policy regularly. Updates will be posted here with a new date. Continued use after changes indicates acceptance of the revised terms.
