UK GDPR Compliance
Peacekeeping News Hub is committed to respecting your data protection rights under the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR). This page explains how we comply with the law and how you can exercise your rights as a data subject.
Scope and Applicability
The UK GDPR applies to the processing of personal data of individuals in the United Kingdom. While Peacekeeping News Hub does not collect personal information through user registration or databases, we may process limited personal data automatically through website analytics, server logs, and cookies to improve user experience and site functionality.
Your Rights Under UK GDPR
Under the UK GDPR, you have the following rights:
- Right of access – to request confirmation of whether your personal data is being processed and to receive a copy of it.
- Right to rectification – to correct inaccurate or incomplete personal data.
- Right to erasure – to request deletion of your personal data where there is no compelling reason for its continued processing.
- Right to restrict processing – to limit how your data is used under certain conditions.
- Right to data portability – to receive your personal data in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format.
- Right to object – to object to processing based on legitimate interests, including profiling.
- Right not to be subject to automated decision-making – including profiling.
How We Comply
Peacekeeping News Hub does not store personal data in user accounts or databases. We use third-party analytics services (e.g., Google Analytics) with privacy-enhancing settings, including IP anonymisation and cookie consent management. We do not sell or share personal data with advertisers or third parties for commercial purposes. All processing is based on our legitimate interest in providing an effective, secure, and user-friendly informational service.
Data We Process
The personal data we may process includes:
- IP addresses (anonymised)
- Browser type and device information
- Pages visited and time spent on site
- Cookies and similar tracking technologies (with consent where required)
This data is not linked to any identifiable individual and is retained only for statistical purposes.
Legal Basis for Processing
Our legal basis for processing personal data under UK GDPR is legitimate interest – specifically, to ensure the website functions properly, to analyse traffic patterns for improvement, and to maintain security. We balance this interest against your rights and freedoms, and we do not process data where your interests override ours.
How to Exercise Your Rights
To exercise any of your rights under UK GDPR, please contact us by email at [email protected]. Include your name, the right you wish to exercise, and any relevant details (e.g., IP address or browser information if known). We will respond without undue delay.
Response Timeframes
We are required to respond to your request within one month of receipt. If your request is complex or numerous, we may extend this period by up to two additional months and will inform you within one month of the reason for the delay.
No Discrimination Policy
You will not be denied access to our content, services, or features, nor will you be treated unfairly, because you choose to exercise your data protection rights under UK GDPR.
Updates and Changes
We may update this compliance page periodically to reflect changes in law or our practices. Any material changes will be posted here with an updated effective date.
