5. Artificial Intelligence
- AI-assisted operations. We may use AI-based tools to support spam detection, security, analytics, advertising delivery (including Google’s AI-driven ad systems) and editorial workflows. All editorial and business decisions remain subject to human oversight, and we do not make decisions about you based solely on automated processing that produce legal or similarly significant effects.
- No AI training on your personal data. We do not sell, license or otherwise make available your personal data (such as newsletter, enquiry or account data) for the training of third-party artificial intelligence models.
- AI crawlers and scraping. Automated access to this website by AI crawlers, scrapers or agents is subject to our Terms and our robots directives. Website content, including any personal data it may contain, may not be harvested for AI training or similar purposes without our prior written agreement.

6. Who We Share Data With
We share data only with trusted service providers who act on our instructions: hosting and content delivery, email delivery, payments, analytics and advertising partners, and spam-detection services. Some providers process data outside the UK; where they do, transfers are protected by UK-approved safeguards such as adequacy regulations or the International Data Transfer Agreement. We may also disclose data where required by law.

We keep personal data only as long as necessary: newsletter data until you unsubscribe; enquiry and editorial correspondence for up to 24 months after the matter concludes; comments while the related article remains published; and financial records for six years as required by UK law.
