Effective Date: August 19, 2026

Welcome to Tozy Magazine. Our website address is https://tozymagazine.co.uk/.

We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting the personal information you may provide while using our website. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and your rights regarding your personal data.

Comments

When visitors leave comments on our website, we may collect the information provided in the comments form, along with the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string. This information may be used to help detect and prevent spam and abusive activity.

An anonymized string created from your email address (also known as a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to determine whether you use the service. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available at.

After your comment is approved, your profile picture may be publicly visible alongside your comment if it is associated with a Gravatar account.

Media

If you upload images to our website, we recommend that you remove embedded location information, including EXIF GPS data, before uploading them.

Visitors may be able to download images from the website and extract any location information contained within those images.

Cookies

Tozy Magazine may use cookies and similar technologies to improve website functionality and user experience.

If you leave a comment on our website, you may choose to save your name, email address, and website in cookies. These cookies are intended to make it easier for you to leave additional comments and may last for up to one year.

If you visit our login page, a temporary cookie may be placed to determine whether your browser accepts cookies. This cookie does not contain personal data and is deleted when you close your browser.

When you log in, cookies may be used to save your login information and screen display preferences. Login cookies may last for two days, while screen-option cookies may last for up to one year. If you select “Remember Me,” your login may remain active for up to two weeks. Logging out of your account removes the applicable login cookies.

If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie may be saved in your browser. This cookie does not contain personal data and simply indicates the ID of the article you edited. It expires after one day.

You can control or disable cookies through your browser settings. Disabling certain cookies may affect some website functionality.

Embedded Content from Other Websites

Articles and pages on Tozy Magazine may contain embedded content, such as videos, images, articles, social media posts, or other third-party content.

Embedded content from other websites behaves in the same way as if you had visited the third-party website directly. These third-party websites may collect information about you, use cookies, employ tracking technologies, or monitor your interaction with their content.

We do not control the privacy practices of third-party websites and recommend reviewing their respective privacy policies.

How We Use Your Information

Information collected through our website may be used to:

Operate and maintain our website.
Respond to comments, questions, or inquiries.
Improve website content, functionality, and user experience.
Detect and prevent spam, fraud, abuse, and security threats.
Maintain website security and administrative records.
Comply with applicable legal and regulatory requirements.

We do not sell or knowingly rent your personal information to third parties.

Who We Share Your Data With

We may share limited information with service providers that help us operate, secure, maintain, or improve the website.

For example, visitor comments may be processed by automated spam detection services.

If you request a password reset, your IP address may be included in the password reset email for security purposes.

Third-party services used on the website may process information according to their own privacy policies.

How Long We Retain Your Data

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata may be retained indefinitely. This allows us to recognize and approve follow-up comments automatically rather than holding them in a moderation queue.

If users register on our website, we may store the personal information provided in their user profile. Registered users may be able to view, edit, or delete their personal information, except for information that cannot be changed through the website, such as a username.

Website administrators may also access and manage registered-user information where necessary for website administration, security, or legal compliance.

We may retain certain information for as long as reasonably necessary to meet operational, legal, security, or dispute-resolution requirements.

What Rights You Have Over Your Data

Depending on applicable law, you may have rights regarding your personal information.

If you have an account on this website or have left comments, you may request an exported copy of the personal data we hold about you, including information you have provided to us.

You may also request that we erase personal information we hold about you. However, this does not include information that we are required or permitted to retain for administrative, legal, security, fraud-prevention, or other legitimate purposes.

To make a privacy-related request, please contact us at info.tozymagazine@gmail.com.

Where Your Data Is Sent

Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.

Depending on the services and technologies used on the website, certain information may also be processed by third-party service providers located in other countries. These providers may have their own privacy policies and data-protection practices.

Data Security

We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to help protect personal information from unauthorized access, loss, misuse, alteration, or disclosure.

However, no method of transmitting or storing information online can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

Third-Party Links

Our website may contain links to external websites, services, or platforms that are not operated by Tozy Magazine.

We are not responsible for the privacy practices, content, or security of third-party websites. We encourage visitors to review the privacy policies of any external website they visit.

Children’s Privacy

Tozy Magazine is not intended to knowingly collect personal information from children without appropriate consent where such consent is required by applicable law.

If you believe that a child has provided personal information to us without appropriate consent, please contact us so that we can review and take appropriate action.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes to our website, services, technologies, or applicable legal requirements.

Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated effective date. We encourage visitors to review this Privacy Policy periodically.
