Legal basis
Why the archive may use it.
Consent is used for editing and publishing the submitted name, story, place details and any photograph. Consent may be withdrawn at any time. Legitimate interests are used for the limited private processing needed to moderate submissions, prevent abuse, keep a decision record, respond to rights or correction requests and secure the service. There is no automated decision-making or profiling with legal or similarly significant effects.
Storage and sharing
Who receives the information?
Pending submissions are available only to the archive owner and the platform and infrastructure providers used to host the site, database, security logs and photograph storage. Approved public fields are visible to anyone on the web. The archive does not sell contributor information or use submission emails for newsletters or advertising.
Retention
How long is it kept?
Pending material is kept only while it can reasonably be reviewed. Declined material and unused uploads are removed during routine moderation. Approved contributions are retained while they remain part of the public archive; the private email is retained with that record so the contributor can be identified for correction, rights or withdrawal requests. Records are deleted when no longer needed for those purposes or when a valid erasure or withdrawal request applies.
Your rights
Access, correct, restrict, object, erase or withdraw.
Depending on the circumstances, UK data-protection law may give you rights to access a copy, correct inaccurate information, request erasure or restriction, object to legitimate-interest processing, and withdraw consent. To correct or withdraw a submission, email webmaster@beefeatermemories.co.uk with the submission reference, the email used and enough detail to identify it. A public memory can be taken down while a request is checked.
If a concern is not resolved, you may complain to the UK Information Commissioner’s Office. See the ICO complaints guidance ↗.
Site data
Visits, analytics, logs and links.
The hosting service may process essential request, security and aggregate visitor information to deliver and protect the site. This site uses the Google tag for Google Analytics (measurement ID G-JMY547RKYP) with analytics storage denied by default. Before you make a choice, the tag does not set analytics cookies; it may send cookieless signals including the consent state and country. If you consent through Google's privacy message, Google may use first-party cookies to distinguish visits and collect page activity, approximate location, and browser and device information. We use its reports to understand and improve the archive. If you do not consent, analytics storage remains denied. You can change your choice using “Privacy and cookie settings” in the footer. We do not use memory-submission emails for analytics. External links have their own privacy practices. For more detail, see Google’s Analytics data-collection explanation ↗.
Advertising
How advertising works on this site.
Google AdSense may show advertisements on public pages of this site. Google and its advertising partners may use cookies and similar technologies to serve, measure and protect ads. Personalised advertising is used only where you have given consent through Google's certified consent message; otherwise Google may serve non-personalised or limited ads where permitted. Learn how Google uses information from sites that use its services in Google's partner-sites policy ↗, and review or change advertising preferences in Google Ads Settings ↗.
You can review or withdraw your site choices at any time using “Privacy and cookie settings” in the footer. This reopens Google's consent message.
Google AdSense advertising is the site's only form of monetisation. Beefeater Memories does not use affiliate links.
Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a user's previous visits to this and other websites. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads based on visits to this site and/or other sites. You can opt out of personalised advertising in Google Ads Settings, or opt out of some third-party vendors' cookies at www.aboutads.info.
