GDPR information

Context first

This notice explains how The Graded Gallery (Birmingham) approaches GDPR when it applies to a visitor, reader or enquiry. It should be read with the privacy policy and cookie policy.

The publication is based at 33 Woodbridge Road, Birmingham, England B13 8EH, and publishes editorial features about retro games, design history and gaming culture.

What can enter the archive

Our contact form may receive your name, email address, game interests, message, enquiry category and privacy-policy confirmation. A hidden website field supports basic form protection. Direct email may contain whatever information you choose to send.

Please avoid sensitive information. The site is not designed to collect payment details, passwords, precise location or special-category data.

How we use information

Information is used to understand a reader enquiry, reply to it and keep the related editorial conversation clear. Where GDPR applies, the relevant basis may be taking steps at your request, consent for an explicit choice, or legitimate interests in keeping the publication secure and usable.

We do not use reader enquiries for advertising profiles, audience measurement or unrelated marketing.

Retention and disclosure

There is no single fixed retention period. Enquiry details are kept only for as long as reasonably required to respond, maintain a necessary correspondence record or answer a privacy request. They should then be deleted or de-identified where appropriate.

The configured site does not identify an external analytics, advertising or form-submission provider. We do not sell personal information.

Transfers and safeguards

The Graded Gallery (Birmingham) operates from the United Kingdom. If a chosen communication route involves handling in another country, any transfer safeguards will depend on that route and the law that applies. Contact us if you need details about a particular enquiry.

Rights and requests

Where GDPR applies, you may have rights to access, correct, erase or restrict information, object to certain processing, receive a portable copy or withdraw consent. These rights may have conditions and exceptions.

Send a clear request describing the information or enquiry concerned. We may verify identity before responding.

Concerns

If you have a concern, contact the publication first so we can review it. You may also contact the data-protection authority relevant to your circumstances. This notice is general information and is not jurisdiction-specific legal advice.
