Privacy Policy

Who we are

Gul Magazine is a fashion and lifestyle website at GulMagazine.co.uk. In this policy, “we”, “us” and “our” mean Gul Magazine.

For the purposes of UK data protection law, the data controller is [owner or company name]. You can reach us using the details in the Contact us section.

Information we collect

Information you give us

If you contact us by email or through our contact page, we receive the details you choose to share, such as your name, email address and the content of your message.

Information collected automatically

Like most websites, our hosting provider records basic technical information when you load a page. This usually includes:

• your IP address
• your browser type, device type and operating system
• the pages you request and the date and time of each request
• the website that referred you, if any

These server logs help keep the site secure and working properly. We do not use them to identify individual visitors.

Our color tools

The Outfit Color Combination Generator runs inside your web browser. The colors, occasions and styles you select are used only to show you results on the page. They are not sent to us, saved to an account or shared with anyone.

If you use the “Copy HEX Codes” button, the color codes are placed on your device’s clipboard. We cannot see or read your clipboard.

How we use information

UK GDPR requires a lawful basis for each use of personal data. This is how we use information and why:

We do not sell, rent or trade your personal information, and we do not use it for automated decision-making.

Cookies and storage

Cookies are small files that a website stores on your device. At the time of writing, GulMagazine.co.uk does not use advertising cookies or analytics cookies.

If we add analytics, advertising or other non-essential cookies in future, we will update this policy and ask for your consent where the law requires it.

You can delete or block cookies at any time in your browser settings.

Third-party services

We use a small number of outside services to run the site. They may receive technical information such as your IP address when your browser connects to them.

• Website hosting: [hosting provider name] stores our website files and server logs.
• Google Fonts: our typefaces load from Google’s servers, so Google receives your IP address and browser details when a page loads. See Google’s Privacy Policy.

Some of these providers may process data outside the UK. Where that happens, we rely on safeguards recognised under UK law, such as adequacy regulations or the International Data Transfer Agreement.

Our pages may link to other websites. We are not responsible for how those websites handle your information, so please read their privacy policies.

How long we keep it

• Server logs: kept for [e.g. up to 30 days], then deleted automatically.
• Messages you send us: kept for as long as we need to deal with your enquiry, and then for no more than 12 months unless we need them for a legal reason.
• Color tool selections: not stored by us at all.

Under UK data protection law, you have the following rights over your personal information:

• AccessAsk for a copy of the information we hold about you.
• CorrectionAsk us to fix information that is wrong or incomplete.
• DeletionAsk us to delete your information in certain circumstances.
• RestrictionAsk us to limit how we use your information.

If you are unhappy with how we handle your information, you can complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO), the UK’s data protection regulator, at ico.org.uk/make-a-complaint. We would appreciate the chance to resolve your concern first.

Children

Our website is a general-audience fashion magazine and is not designed for children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has sent us personal information, please contact us and we will delete it.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy when our website or the law changes, for example if we launch the newsletter or add analytics. The “Last updated” date at the top of this page always shows the latest version.
