Information collected automatically

When you visit the website, certain technical information may be collected automatically, including:

  • IP address;

This information may be collected through our website hosting, security, analytics, cookie-management and other technology providers.

  • analytics and website measurement providers;
  • affiliate networks and merchants;
  • advertising platforms;
  • email marketing providers;
  • payment providers;
  • business partners and service providers.

For example, an affiliate network may tell us that a visitor referred from Entrepreneur Nut completed a qualifying purchase. We do not necessarily receive the purchaser’s identity as part of that process.

3. How We Use Your Information

We may use personal information to:

  • operate, maintain and secure the Entrepreneur Nut website;
  • respond to enquiries and correspondence;
  • provide information or resources you have requested;
  • send email newsletters and marketing communications where permitted;
  • understand how visitors use the website;

  • measure the performance of articles, videos, affiliate links and marketing campaigns;
  • administer affiliate relationships and track referrals;
  • prevent fraud, abuse and security threats;
  • maintain business and financial records;
  • comply with legal, regulatory and tax obligations;
  • establish, exercise or defend legal claims.

We do not sell your personal information.

4. Our Lawful Bases for Processing

Under UK data protection law, we must have a lawful basis for processing personal information.

Depending on the circumstances, we may rely on the following lawful bases.

Consent

We rely on your consent where appropriate, including for:

  • email marketing where consent is required;
  • non-essential analytics cookies;
  • advertising and tracking cookies;
  • other optional technologies that require consent.

Where we rely on consent, you may withdraw that consent at any time.

Legitimate interests

We may process information where it is necessary for our legitimate business interests, provided those interests do not override your rights and freedoms.

These interests may include:

  • operating and improving the website;
  • responding to enquiries;
  • understanding the performance of our content;
  • maintaining website security;
  • preventing fraud and misuse;
  • managing our business relationships;
  • keeping appropriate business records.

Contract

We may process personal information where necessary to perform a contract with you or to take steps at your request before entering into a contract.

Legal obligation

We may process information where necessary to comply with legal, regulatory, accounting or tax obligations.

5. Email Marketing

If you choose to join our email list, we may send you newsletters, useful resources, product recommendations, offers and other marketing communications relating to Entrepreneur Nut.

Where required, we will obtain appropriate consent before sending marketing emails.

You can unsubscribe at any time by using the unsubscribe link included in our marketing emails or by contacting us directly.

Withdrawing consent or unsubscribing will not affect the lawfulness of any processing that took place before your request.

We may retain limited information about an unsubscribe request where necessary to ensure that we respect your preference and do not inadvertently add you back to a marketing list.

UK electronic-marketing rules generally require consent before marketing emails are sent to individuals unless a specific exception applies, and consent must involve a positive action rather than silence or inactivity.

6. Cookies and Similar Technologies

Entrepreneur Nut may use cookies and similar technologies to operate the website, remember preferences, understand website usage, measure performance and support advertising or affiliate tracking.

Cookies may include:

Essential cookies

These are necessary for the website to function properly or to provide services you request.

Analytics cookies

These help us understand how visitors use the website, such as which pages are visited and how people arrive at the site.

Functional cookies

These may remember choices or preferences to improve your experience.

Advertising and marketing cookies

Where used, these may help measure advertising campaigns or display advertising that is more relevant to users.

Affiliate tracking

When you click certain affiliate links, an affiliate network, merchant or other third party may use cookies or similar technologies to identify that Entrepreneur Nut referred you.

If you subsequently make a qualifying purchase, Entrepreneur Nut may receive a commission. This normally does not increase the price you pay.

Where consent is legally required for non-essential cookies or similar technologies, those technologies should only be activated after the appropriate consent has been obtained.

You can manage your preferences through the cookie controls provided on the website and through your browser settings.

7. Affiliate Links

Entrepreneur Nut participates in affiliate marketing programmes.

Some links on the website are affiliate links. If you click one of these links and purchase a product or service, Entrepreneur Nut may receive a commission from the relevant merchant or affiliate network.

When you click an affiliate link, you may leave Entrepreneur Nut and visit a third-party website. That third party may collect information about you under its own privacy policy and cookie practices.

We encourage you to review the privacy information provided by websites you visit through our links.

8. Advertising and Sponsored Content

Entrepreneur Nut may publish advertising, sponsored content and paid partnerships.

Where advertising technology is used on this website, advertising providers may process information such as cookie identifiers, device information and website activity.

Where legally required, advertising or tracking technologies will be subject to appropriate consent.

Sponsored articles, videos or other content may also contain links to third-party websites. Those third parties are responsible for their own privacy practices once you leave Entrepreneur Nut.

9. Analytics

We may use third-party analytics services to help us understand how visitors use Entrepreneur Nut.

Analytics information may include:

  • pages viewed;
  • referral sources;
  • device and browser information;
  • approximate location;
  • interaction data;
  • visit duration and similar usage information.

Where analytics technologies require consent under applicable cookie and privacy laws, we will rely on consent before using them.

We may also use aggregated or anonymised information that does not directly identify individual visitors.

10. Comments

If commenting is enabled on any part of the website and you choose to leave a comment, we may collect information you submit together with technical information such as your IP address and browser information for spam prevention, moderation and website security.

Information you choose to publish in a public comment may be visible to other visitors.

11. How We Share Personal Information

We may share personal information with trusted third parties where reasonably necessary to operate Entrepreneur Nut.

These may include:

  • website hosting and infrastructure providers;
  • website security and maintenance providers;
  • analytics providers;
  • email marketing and communications providers;
  • affiliate networks and merchants;
  • advertising and marketing providers;
  • payment processors;
  • cloud software and storage providers;
  • accountants, legal advisers and other professional advisers;
  • government, regulatory, law enforcement or tax authorities where legally required.

Third-party service providers may process personal information on our behalf only for the purposes for which they have been engaged, subject to their contractual and legal obligations.

We may also disclose information where reasonably necessary to protect our rights, prevent fraud or abuse, comply with law or respond to a valid legal request.

12. International Data Transfers

Some of the third-party services we use may process or store personal information outside the United Kingdom.

Where personal information is transferred internationally, we take reasonable steps to ensure that an appropriate legal mechanism is used where required.

Depending on the destination and circumstances, this may include:

  • UK adequacy regulations;
  • approved contractual safeguards;
  • the UK International Data Transfer Agreement;
  • the UK Addendum to approved standard contractual clauses;
  • another transfer mechanism permitted by UK data protection law.

You may contact us if you would like further information about the safeguards relevant to your personal information.

13. How Long We Keep Information

We keep personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, including legal, accounting, security and regulatory requirements.

As a general guide:

  • Email subscribers: information may be retained while you remain subscribed. If you unsubscribe, limited information may be retained where necessary to record and respect your opt-out.
  • Enquiries and correspondence: normally retained for up to two years after the last meaningful contact, unless there is a business, contractual or legal reason to retain it for longer.
  • Website security information and logs: retained only for as long as reasonably necessary for security, troubleshooting and fraud prevention.
  • Comments: may remain for as long as the associated content remains published, unless removal is appropriate or requested.
  • Financial, contractual and business records: may be retained for the period necessary to comply with tax, accounting and legal requirements.
  • Analytics information: retained in accordance with our configured retention settings and the requirements applicable to the analytics service used.

We may retain information for longer where necessary to establish, exercise or defend a legal claim.

14. Data Security

We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect personal information against unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration, loss or misuse.

However, no internet transmission or electronic storage method can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

15. Your Data Protection Rights

Depending on the circumstances, UK data protection law may give you the right to:

  • request access to personal information we hold about you;
  • request correction of inaccurate or incomplete information;
  • request deletion of your personal information;
  • request restriction of processing;
  • object to certain types of processing;
  • request transfer of information in a portable format where applicable;
  • withdraw consent where processing is based on consent.

You also have the right to object at any time to the use of your personal information for direct marketing.

Some rights are subject to legal conditions and exceptions, so they may not apply in every situation.

To exercise any of these rights, contact:

steve@entrepreneurnut.com

We may need to verify your identity before responding to certain requests.

The ICO requires privacy notices to explain relevant rights, retention, lawful bases, recipients and international transfers, among other information.

16. Complaints

If you have concerns about how we use your personal information, please contact us first so that we can try to resolve the matter.

You also have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO), the UK’s data protection regulator.

17. Third-Party Websites

Entrepreneur Nut contains links to websites and services operated by third parties.

We are not responsible for the privacy practices, security or content of third-party websites.

When you leave Entrepreneur Nut, we recommend reviewing the privacy policy of the website you visit.

18. Children

Entrepreneur Nut is not directed specifically at children and we do not knowingly seek to collect personal information from children.

If you believe that a child has provided personal information to us inappropriately, please contact us so that we can investigate and, where appropriate, remove it.

19. Automated Decision-Making

We do not currently use personal information to make solely automated decisions that produce legal effects or similarly significant effects on individuals.

20. Business Transfers

If Entrepreneur Nut or its business assets are sold, transferred or reorganised in the future, personal information may be transferred as part of that transaction where legally permitted.

Any recipient would be required to handle personal information in accordance with applicable data protection law.
