Privacy Policy

Last updated: 27 October 2026

This policy explains how The Reda Edit collects and uses personal information when you visit this website, contact us or subscribe to our newsletter.

Who we are

The Reda Edit is operated independently by Reda, based in the United Kingdom, who is responsible for the personal information described in this policy.

For privacy enquiries or requests, email theredaedit@outlook.com or use our Contact form.

Information you provide

When you contact us, we collect your name, email address, message and any other information you choose to provide.

We use this information to respond to enquiries, discuss potential collaborations and manage correspondence and professional relationships.

Please avoid including sensitive personal information that is not necessary for your enquiry.

Contact-form submissions are processed and stored through Squarespace. Where email notifications are enabled, submissions are also delivered to our Microsoft Outlook inbox.

Providing this information is voluntary. However, we may be unable to respond to your enquiry if you do not provide the required contact details.

Website hosting

This website is hosted by Squarespace. Squarespace processes technical information needed to operate, maintain and protect the website, including information about your browser, device and network, your IP address and your use of the website.

Squarespace may also process certain website-usage information for its own purposes, as explained in its Privacy Policy.

Website analytics

We use Squarespace Analytics to understand readership, website performance and how visitors interact with our content.

Depending on your settings and cookie choices, information processed may include:

  • Your browser, device and network details.

  • Your IP address and the website that referred you to us.

  • Pages viewed and links clicked.

  • Pages visited, interactions with the website and the timing of visits.

Squarespace processes this information to provide reports about website traffic and activity.

Where consent is required for analytics cookies or similar technologies, we request it through our cookie controls. Further information is provided in our Cookies Policy.

Newsletter subscriptions

Where newsletter sign-up is available, we collect your email address and any name you choose to provide. We also retain information recording your subscription and preferences.

We use these details to send the editorial emails you request, such as new articles, selected discoveries and updates from The Reda Edit.

Subscriber details are stored through Squarespace. We send newsletters only when you have opted in. Contacting us through the enquiry form does not automatically subscribe you.

You can withdraw your consent at any time using the unsubscribe link in our emails or by contacting theredaedit@outlook.com.

Spam protection

Our forms use Google reCAPTCHA to help distinguish genuine submissions from automated spam. Google may process technical information and information about your interaction with the website when providing this service.

See Google’s Privacy Policy and Terms of Service for further details.

Our lawful bases

Depending on the purpose, we rely on:

  • Legitimate interests: responding to enquiries, managing professional relationships, and operating and protecting the website.

  • Contract: taking steps at your request before entering into a contract with you, or carrying out an agreed collaboration.

  • Consent: sending newsletters and using optional analytics technologies where consent is required.

  • Legal obligations: retaining or disclosing information where required by applicable law.

Where processing relies on consent, you can withdraw it without affecting the lawfulness of processing carried out beforehand.

Who receives your information?

We use service providers where necessary to operate the website and manage communications:

  • Squarespace: website hosting, analytics, form submissions and subscriber storage.

  • Microsoft: email delivery, storage and correspondence.

  • Google: reCAPTCHA spam protection.

We may also share information with professional advisers or relevant authorities where necessary to comply with the law or establish, exercise or defend legal claims.

Further information is available in the Squarespace Privacy Policy, Microsoft Privacy Statement and Google Privacy Policy.

International processing

Our providers may process personal information outside the United Kingdom, including in the United States.

Where required, international transfers are supported by applicable UK adequacy regulations or appropriate safeguards, such as approved contractual clauses and the UK International Data Transfer Addendum. Certified providers may also rely on the UK Extension to the EU–US Data Privacy Framework.

Please contact us for further information about the safeguards relevant to your information and how to obtain a copy.

How long we keep information

We retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy.

For enquiries and correspondence, this depends on whether the matter remains ongoing, whether a professional relationship results, and whether records are needed to meet legal obligations or establish, exercise or defend legal claims.

Newsletter subscription information is retained while you remain subscribed. After you unsubscribe, we may retain limited information to record your preference, demonstrate consent and prevent further unwanted emails.

Website and analytics information is retained according to the relevant service settings and provider retention arrangements, taking account of its purpose and whether identifiable information remains necessary.

Information is deleted or anonymised when it is no longer needed.

Cookies

This website uses cookies and similar technologies for website functionality and, where enabled, analytics.

Our Cookies Policy explains their purposes and how to manage your preferences.

Your rights

Depending on the circumstances, you may have the right to:

  • Access your personal information.

  • Have inaccurate information corrected.

  • Request deletion or restriction of processing.

  • Object to processing based on legitimate interests.

  • Receive certain information in a portable format.

  • Withdraw consent where processing relies on consent.

To make a request, email theredaedit@outlook.com. We may need to verify your identity before responding.
