Privacy Policy

What We Collect

Brits in Argentina is a static editorial website. There is nowhere on the site to register an account, submit a form, subscribe to a newsletter, or leave a comment — which means there is nowhere for us to collect your name, email, phone number, or any other personal identifier in the first place.

For aggregate traffic understanding we use Cloudflare Web Analytics. It is a privacy-friendly service that measures page views without setting cookies, without building a visitor profile, and without using your IP address to identify you. It tells us which articles are being read most, roughly which countries readers come from, and nothing else. It does not follow you across the web, does not combine with advertising networks, and cannot be used to identify you individually.

Outbound Links

Our articles link to restaurants, schools, clinics, parks, government agencies, and professional services. Some of those outbound links include UTM attribution parameters (for example ?utm_source=britsinargentina) so the destination publication can see which of their traffic came from our editorial recommendations.

UTM parameters identify this website as the referral source, not you as an individual. They contain no name, email, IP address, browser fingerprint, or any identifier we have created for you. Once you click through to an external site, that site's privacy policy takes over and we have no control over what happens next.

Cookies

This site sets no tracking cookies, no advertising cookies, and no third-party analytics cookies. The only cookie you may encounter is a short-lived session cookie used to remember a language preference if you switch between English and Spanish, and it contains a locale code and nothing else. No advertising network, data broker, or social platform is given access to it.

Your Rights Under UK GDPR

UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018 give you specific rights over personal data that organisations hold about you. Because we hold essentially no personal data, the practical scope is narrow, but we list them in full so you know where you stand:

• Right of Access — you can ask what personal data we hold about you and receive a copy of it.
• Right to Rectification — you can ask us to correct any personal data that is inaccurate or incomplete.
• Right to Erasure — you can ask us to delete personal data we hold about you, subject to legal exceptions.
• Right to Restrict Processing — you can ask us to stop actively using your data while a dispute is resolved.
• Right to Data Portability — you can ask for your data in a machine-readable format you can take elsewhere.
• Right to Object — you can object to processing based on legitimate interests, including direct marketing.

If you believe your rights have not been respected, you can complain to the Information Commissioner's Office at ico.org.uk.

Data Retention

Because we do not collect personal data through forms or accounts, there is no retention schedule to publish. Aggregate analytics from Cloudflare are held by Cloudflare under their own policy, not on any infrastructure we control. Server access logs kept briefly by our hosting provider for security and abuse-prevention purposes are rotated out according to that provider's standard retention window.
