Thirtyera publishes Thirtyera. This policy sets out what visiting thirtyera.com involves in data terms, and what you can do about it.

How It Gets Used

We process this information to maintain and secure the site, to analyse readership in aggregate, to send opted-in email, and to support advertising if and where it runs.

Cookie Notice

• There is a dedicated Cookie Policy covering what is stored on your device and how to control it.

• Where advertising is served, third-party vendors including Google may use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites. Google’s use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to this site and/or other sites on the internet. You may opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings, or opt out of a third-party vendor’s use of cookies for personalised advertising at www.aboutads.info.

Outside Processors

Providers in the chain include the host that serves thirtyera.com, any analytics tool we run, the mailing platform, and ad networks where advertising appears. Where those parties set their own purposes they are independent controllers, and you should read their notices as well as this one.

Keeping Data Safe

We do not keep data indefinitely. Analytics expires per the provider’s policy, newsletter data ends when you unsubscribe, comment data ends when the comment goes. Security measures are proportionate: limited access, encrypted connections, and prompt removal of anything not needed. Absolute security is not something any site can promise.

Our Audience and Age

Nothing here is directed at children. The site assumes an adult reader, we do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 13 (16 where required), and any such data discovered is deleted promptly.

Rights Under Applicable Law

Depending where you live, you may have the right to see what we hold, correct it, have it deleted, take a copy elsewhere, object to certain processing, or opt out of your data being sold or shared for advertising. That covers readers under the UK and EU GDPR and under US state laws including the CCPA/CPRA. We honour Global Privacy Control signals automatically. See Do Not Sell or Share and our State Privacy Notice.

Mailing List

We use confirmed (double) opt-in for the mailing list, so nobody is subscribed by mistake or by someone else. Unsubscribe links and our postal address appear in every email, and we do not sell or rent the list.

Types of Information

• This site may collect technical visit data (IP address, device and browser identifiers, referrer, pages and times) and, separately, information you supply directly: subscription email addresses, comment names and addresses, and anything written in a message to us.
• There is one niche-specific commitment behind this policy — we ask readers not to send us sensitive personal details, and we delete rather than retain anything of that kind that reaches us unprompted.
