Rupee & Pound ("we," "us," "our") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what personal data we collect when you visit rupeeandpound.com (the "Site"), why we collect it, how we use it, and what rights you have over it, in accordance with the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018.

1. Who We Are

Rupee & Pound is operated as a UK-based sole trader. For the purposes of data protection law, we are the "data controller" of the personal data described in this policy. You can contact us at creativecoventures@gmail.com.

  • Email address — when you subscribe to our newsletter or download a free resource (such as our checklist)

  • Name — if provided as part of the subscribe form or contact form

  • Contact form submissions — any information you include when you message us via the Contact page

Data collected automatically:

  • Analytics data — pages visited, time on site, general location (country/region level), device and browser type, collected via Squarespace Analytics and/or Google Analytics

  • Cookies — small files stored on your device to support site functionality and analytics (see Section 6)

We do not collect sensitive personal data (such as health, financial account details, or identity documents) through this Site.

3. Why We Collect This Data (Legal Basis)

Responding to contact form enquiries: Legitimate interest (responding to your enquiry)

Site analytics and performance monitoring: Legitimate interest / consent (cookie-based, see Section 6)

4. How We Use Your Data

  • To send you the Rupee & Pound newsletter, if you've subscribed

  • To deliver any free resource you've requested

  • To respond to questions or enquiries submitted via our Contact page

  • To understand how visitors use the Site, so we can improve content and navigation

  • We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal data to third parties for their own marketing purposes

5. Third-Party Services We Use (Service/ Purpose/ Data Involved)

  • Squarespace - Website hosting, email campaigns - Site visit data, subscriber email addresses

  • Google Analytics (if enabled) - Site traffic analysis - Anonymized/aggregated browsing data

  • Affiliate partners (e.g., Wise, Revolut, Amazon Associates) - Tracking referral clicks for commission purposes - Click data only — we do not share your personal identity with affiliate partners; they may set their own cookies once you click through, governed by their own privacy policies

You can control or disable cookies through your browser settings or via the cookie consent banner presented when you first visit the Site. Disabling cookies may affect some site functionality.

7. How Long We Keep Your Data

  • Newsletter subscriber data: retained until you unsubscribe, at which point it is removed from our active mailing list within a reasonable period

  • Contact form submissions: retained only as long as needed to address your enquiry, then deleted or anonymized

8. Your Rights

Under UK GDPR, you have the right to:

  • Access the personal data we hold about you

  • Request correction of inaccurate data

  • Request deletion of your data ("right to be forgotten")

  • Withdraw consent at any time (e.g., unsubscribe from the newsletter using the link in any email)

  • Object to certain processing, including for direct marketing

  • Request a copy of your data in a portable format

  • Lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) at ico.org.uk if you believe your data has been mishandled

9. Data Security

We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your personal data, relying on Squarespace's built-in security infrastructure for site hosting and email management. However, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

10. International Data Transfers

Some third-party services we use (e.g., Squarespace, Google) may process data outside the UK. Where this occurs, we rely on those providers' compliance with UK GDPR adequacy requirements or equivalent safeguards.

11. Children's Privacy

This Site is not directed at children, and we do not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under 18.

12. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or legal requirements. The "Last updated" date above reflects the most recent revision. Continued use of the Site after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
