Last updated: 1 January 2026

1. Who We Are

Indraw Notebook is an independent editorial publication based at 47 Lamb's Conduit Street, WC1N 3NB London, United Kingdom. We publish articles on everyday nutrition, food habits, and considered eating practices. For data-related enquiries, contact us at [email protected].

2. What Data We Collect

We collect only the personal data necessary to operate the site and respond to correspondence. This may include:

  • Contact form submissions — name, email address, and the content of your message, submitted voluntarily via the contact form on our website.
  • Usage data — anonymised information about how visitors navigate the site, collected via analytics tools. This does not identify you personally.
  • Cookie data — see our Cookie Policy for full details of what cookies we use and why.

3. How We Use Your Data

Data collected through contact form submissions is used solely to respond to the relevant enquiry. We do not use it for marketing, profiling, or any purpose beyond the stated correspondence. Anonymised usage data is used to understand how our content is read and to improve the site experience for all visitors.

4. Legal Basis for Processing

Under the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018, we process personal data on the following bases:

  • Legitimate interests — for analytics and site improvement, where this does not override your rights and freedoms.
  • Consent — for any cookies that are not strictly necessary. You may withdraw consent at any time via the Cookie Settings link in our site footer.
  • Contractual necessity — where you have contacted us and we need to process your data to respond.

5. Data Retention

Contact form submissions are retained for no longer than twelve months from the date of receipt, after which they are permanently deleted. Anonymised analytics data may be retained for longer periods as it does not identify individuals. Cookie data is retained in accordance with the durations specified in our Cookie Policy.

6. Data Sharing

We do not sell, rent, or transfer personal data to third parties for their own purposes. Data may be shared with third-party service providers (such as analytics platforms or hosting providers) where necessary to operate the site. All such providers are required to process data in accordance with applicable data protection law.

7. Your Rights

Under UK data protection law, you have the following rights regarding your personal data:

  • The right to access the personal data we hold about you.
  • The right to request correction of inaccurate data.
  • The right to request deletion of your data, subject to legal obligations.
  • The right to restrict or object to processing in certain circumstances.
  • The right to data portability where processing is based on consent or contract.
  • The right to withdraw consent at any time, without affecting the lawfulness of prior processing.

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at [email protected]. We will respond within one calendar month.

8. Cookies

Our use of cookies is governed by our separate Cookie Policy. You can manage your cookie preferences at any time using the Cookie Settings link in the site footer.

9. External Links

Our articles may contain links to external websites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those sites. We recommend reviewing the privacy policy of any external site you visit.

10. Security

We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect personal data against unauthorised access, loss, or alteration. No data transmission over the internet can be assured as fully secure; however, we take all reasonable precautions.

11. Changes to This Policy

This policy may be updated periodically to reflect changes in our practices or applicable law. The date of the most recent revision is shown at the top of this page. Continued use of the site after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
