This Privacy Policy explains how Your Top Watch Guide ("we", "us", "our"), run by Steve Peters, collects, uses and protects your personal information when you visit this website. We are committed to handling your data in line with the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018.

Your Top Watch Guide is an independent website publishing watch buying guides for UK readers. For the purposes of data protection law, Steve Peters is the data controller for personal information collected through this website. You can contact us at stevepet11@gmail.com.

• Information you give us: your name and email address when you subscribe to updates, and your name, email address and comment when you leave a comment on an article.
• Information collected automatically: technical information such as your IP address, browser type, device and pages visited, collected through server logs and cookies. See our Cookie Policy for details.

We do not knowingly collect special category data, and this website is not intended for children under 13.

• To send you email updates about new guides, where you have subscribed (lawful basis: consent).

We will never sell your personal information.

We only share your information with trusted service providers who help us run this website, such as our website and email hosting provider and spam-protection services (for example Google reCAPTCHA). These providers process data on our behalf and are required to keep it secure. Some may store data outside the UK; where this happens, appropriate safeguards are put in place as required by law.

When you click an affiliate link and visit a retailer's website, that retailer's own privacy policy applies. See our Affiliate Disclosure.

We keep subscriber details until you unsubscribe. Comments are kept for as long as the article is published, unless you ask us to remove them. Technical logs are kept only as long as needed for security and maintenance.

Under UK data protection law you have the right to:

• access the personal information we hold about you
• ask us to correct inaccurate information
• ask us to delete your information
• object to or restrict how we use your information
• withdraw consent at any time, for example by unsubscribing from emails
• ask for your information to be transferred to another organisation

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at stevepet11@gmail.com. You also have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) at ico.org.uk.

This website uses a secure (HTTPS) connection, and we take reasonable technical and organisational steps to protect your information. No method of transmission over the internet is completely secure, but we work to keep your data safe.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The latest version will always be on this page, with the date it was last updated.
