Our Privacy Promise: How We Handle Your Information

At FixCancerNow.com, we are committed to protecting your personal data just as passionately as we support UK cancer charities like Macmillan and Cancer Research UK. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your information when you visit our blog, which focuses on UK health awareness and fundraising events such as charity poker tournaments and casino nights. We operate under the jurisdiction of United Kingdom data protection laws, including the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR).

What Information We Collect

We collect information to provide you with relevant content about UK cancer charity events and to improve your experience on our site. This data falls into two main categories.

Information You Provide

This is data you give us directly. Examples include:

  • Submitting your name and email address to sign up for our newsletter featuring updates on charity poker tournaments UK and Macmillan fundraisers.
  • Posting a comment on an article about a Casino Royale charity event.
  • Contacting us via email with an enquiry or feedback.

Automatically Collected Data

When you browse our site, we automatically collect certain technical information. This may include your IP address, browser type, device information, and how you navigate our pages. This data helps us understand site performance and user engagement.

Cookies and Tracking Technologies

Our site uses cookies and similar technologies to function effectively and to personalise your experience, such as remembering your preferences for local event updates.

What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device. They help our website remember your actions and preferences (like login or language selection) over a period of time, so you don’t have to keep re-entering them.

Managing Your Cookie Preferences

You can control and manage cookies through your browser settings. You can choose to block or delete cookies, but please note that some parts of our site may not function properly as a result.

How We Use Analytics

To better understand our audience and improve our content on topics like UK casino charity events, we use analytics services such as Google Analytics.

Purpose of Analytics

Analytics help us see which articles on casino night fundraising or Macmillan fundraisers are most popular, how visitors find our site, and how we can enhance the user experience. This allows us to create more relevant and useful content for our readers.

Anonymous Data

This analytics data is primarily aggregated and anonymised, meaning it does not directly identify you as an individual. It provides us with insights into broader trends and site performance.

Sharing with Third-Party Services

We only share your personal data with trusted third-party service providers who assist us in operating our blog, and only under strict data protection agreements.

Service Providers

This includes providers like Mailchimp, which we use to manage our email newsletter, and secure payment processors if you choose to make a donation to a partner charity like Macmillan Cancer Support through a link on our site. These partners are prohibited from using your information for any purpose other than providing services to us.

Legal Requirements

We may disclose your information if required to do so by law, for example, to comply with a legal obligation or to protect the rights, property, or safety of FixCancerNow.com, our users, or others.

Your Rights Under UK GDPR

Under the UK GDPR, you have important rights regarding your personal data. We are committed to enabling you to exercise these rights.

Key Rights Overview

Your rights include:

  • The right to access the personal data we hold about you.
  • The right to request correction of inaccurate data.
  • The right to request deletion of your data (the “right to be forgotten”).
  • The right to object to or restrict certain processing.
  • The right to data portability, where applicable.

How to Exercise Your Rights

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at [email protected]. We will respond to your request in accordance with UK data protection law, usually within one month.

How Long We Keep Your Data

We retain your personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements.

Retention Principles

For example, if you subscribe to our newsletter for updates on upcoming Casino Royale charity events, we will keep your email address until you unsubscribe. For analytics data, we retain anonymised information for longer periods to analyse trends.

Criteria for Deletion

We regularly review our data retention periods. Data is securely deleted or anonymised when it is no longer needed for its original purpose or when a lawful basis for processing no longer exists.
