Minimal by default
We ask for an email, nothing more. No hidden profiles. No sold lists. Your inbox stays yours.
Your data, your terms
Privacy at Club Business
We are a Europe-first business publication. Privacy is part of that lens. This page explains what we collect and why. It is short by design. We keep the data small. We keep the language plain.
Europe-first rules
We build to the GDPR and UK GDPR. That standard travels with every reader, wherever you sit.
Plain about cookies
We use a few tools to count visits. We name them below. You can opt out in one click.
01
What we collect
We collect the email you give us for the weekly briefing. We also log basic, non-identifying analytics. That means page views, rough region and device type. We do not collect names, payment details or sensitive data. You stay anonymous unless you choose to subscribe.
02
Why we use it
Your email lets us send the weekly briefing and nothing else. Analytics show which articles help readers most. That guides what we cover next. We never use your data to target ads. We never build a hidden ad profile of you.
03
Legal basis
We rely on your consent for the newsletter. You give it when you sign up. You can pull it back at any time. For analytics we rely on a legitimate interest. That interest is making our editorial better. Both bases sit squarely within the GDPR.
04
Who we share it with
We share data only with the tools that run this site. That means our email platform and our privacy-friendly analytics provider. Each one is bound by a data-processing agreement. We never sell your data. We never trade it with third parties for profit.
05
How long we keep it
We keep your email while you stay subscribed. Unsubscribe and we erase it within 30 days. Analytics records are aggregated and stripped of detail. We hold no raw logs that could point back to you. Less data means less risk.
Your rights under the GDPR
You stay in control
The law gives you clear rights over your data. We honour each one. Most requests are handled within a few days. Just email us and ask.
