Privacy & Data

Think of this magazine as a pile of printed pull-outs left on a coffee table: you pick one up, read it and put it down, and nobody writes down who did. That is close to how the site works, and this page sets out the few places where personal data does come into it.

Who answers for this site

Jane Eyre Entertainment Hub comes from four writers who publish under pen names. Data questions, requests and complaints go to reach@janeeyremusic.com, an inbox the four of us check ourselves.

Built ahead of time, served as files

Each article and page is generated before anyone visits and then handed out as a finished file. Because nothing is assembled on the fly, a lot of common data handling simply never happens here:

• no sign-up, login or reader profile of any kind;
• no comment boxes and no mailing list stored on our side;
• no analytics package, page counter or replay tool watching how you scroll;
• no adverts or ad networks loading in the background;
• no share buttons or embedded feeds that phone home to social platforms.

Request logs on the host's side

A hosting company stores our files and sends them out when someone asks for a page. Its machines note the basics of each request as a matter of routine: the IP address it came from, a timestamp, which file was asked for, what sort of browser asked, and whether delivery worked. Those records help the host keep things fast and fend off attacks. They are held briefly under the host's own safeguards and then dropped; we never mine them to put names to visitors. Keeping the magazine reachable and safe is the legitimate interest that justifies these logs.

The banner card

On a first visit, a small card in the corner asks how you feel about the site remembering a setting. Whatever you click is written into your browser's local storage, which means the card can stay out of your way on later pages. The value lives on your own device, it never travels to us, and clearing the stored data for this address in your browser settings deletes it. How Cookies Work Here describes it in more detail.

Writing to the team

Once your email arrives, we can see the sending address, whatever signature you added and the text itself. We use them to reply, and to repair an article when your message points out a problem. Old threads are cleared out once they have served their purpose, except where one documents a correction we made. The form on Say Hello only fills in a draft inside whichever mail program you use; the site has no way of sending it on its own. Your choice to write in, together with our legitimate interest in replying, is what makes this lawful.

Leaving for another site

Guides on this site occasionally send you onward to pages run by others. Once you click through, that site's own rules on data take over, and we cannot see or steer what it gathers. Glance at its privacy notice before typing anything personal there.

Rights you can use

The GDPR, along with comparable privacy laws elsewhere, gives you these rights:

• learn what, if anything, we hold about you and receive that information;
• get mistakes in that data put right;
• have it erased once there is no good reason for us to hold it;
• limit how it is used, or object to a particular use;
• move data you supplied to another service in a standard format, when the law grants that;
• raise a complaint with a data protection authority, such as the one in your country.

To exercise one, drop us a line at the inbox named under "Who answers for this site". Reasonable requests cost nothing, and we respond inside the legal deadline.

Younger visitors

The magazine is written with adult readers in mind and makes no effort to collect information about kids.

Future changes

Should a new feature ever change how data is handled here, this page gets rewritten first, before the feature appears on the site.
