Privacy

Information we collect

If you choose to enter the Five Star World email list, we collect the email address you provide and, if supplied, your first name. We also record the consent associated with that submission. Basic technical information may be processed where necessary to protect the form from abuse and keep the site secure.

Why we use it

The information is used to send Five Star World email communications that you have chosen to receive. We do not treat that consent as permission for unrelated marketing.

Lawful basis and consent

Email communications are sent on the basis of your affirmative consent. You may withdraw that consent at any time using the unsubscribe mechanism in an email or by contacting the privacy address once published here.

Mailing provider

Subscriber information is processed through the professional mailing-list provider configured for the site. The implementation keeps that provider separate from the visual website so the service can be changed without rebuilding the site.

Retention

Subscriber information is retained while you remain on the list or for as long as reasonably necessary to manage consent, suppression and legal obligations. Unsubscribing stops marketing communication.

Your rights

Subject to applicable UK data-protection law, you may have rights to access, correct or erase personal information, restrict or object to certain processing, and complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office.

Cookies and tracking

The initial site does not deploy advertising trackers or behavioural analytics by default. If analytics are introduced later, this notice and any consent mechanism will be updated as required.

Contact

Privacy contact details will be published here before the site goes live.
