Privacy policy

AI News Wales is the data controller for the personal data described here. All privacy enquiries are handled through Rha Marketing, which manages contact for the publication.

Reading the site requires no account and no personal details. The site collects only what is needed to serve pages securely and to understand which reports are read.

• Technical data: IP address, browser type, device type and pages requested.
• Analytics data: aggregated page views and referrers, collected only where analytics cookies have been accepted.
• Cookie preference: a single stored value recording the choice made in the consent banner.

No special category data is collected and the site is not intended for children under 13.

Technical data is processed on the basis of legitimate interests: keeping the site available, secure and free from abuse. Analytics data is processed on the basis of consent, which can be withdrawn at any time by clearing cookies for this site.

AI News Wales reports on artificial intelligence in Wales. Where reporting names an individual acting in a professional or public capacity, that processing rests on legitimate interests and the journalism provisions of the Data Protection Act 2018. Corrections and removal requests relating to editorial content are reviewed individually.

Personal data is not sold and is not shared for advertising. Data is processed by the hosting, database and analytics providers that run the site, each acting under contract. Where a provider processes data outside the UK, it is covered by an approved transfer mechanism such as the UK International Data Transfer Addendum.

Server and security logs are retained for up to 12 months. Aggregated analytics are retained for up to 26 months. Cookie preferences expire after 12 months, after which the banner is shown again.

Under UK GDPR you can request access to your data, rectification, erasure, restriction or objection to processing and data portability where it applies. You can also withdraw consent for analytics at any time. Requests are answered within one month.

If you are not satisfied with the response, you can complain to the Information Commissioner's Office at ico.org.uk.
