Types of data we collect:

Google Analytics
When someone visits our website, we use a third-party service, Google Analytics, to collect standard internet log information and details of visitor behaviour patterns. This tells us the number of visitors to the various parts of the site and does not identify individuals.

We use that information to provide the newsflash and breaking news service and to contact you if we need to obtain additional information. We don’t rent or trade email lists with other organisations and businesses, although we may occasionally send additional mailouts that we consider to be of interest to our readers.

We use a third-party provider, MailChimp, to deliver our newsflash. We gather statistics from email opening and clicks to help us monitor and improve our service. You can unsubscribe to general mailings at any time by clicking the unsubscribe link at the bottom of any of our emails or by emailing anita@toyworldmag.co.uk
