IV. CONTROLLING YOUR PERSONAL DATA
Other users may be able to identify you, or associate you with your user account if you include personal information in your Public Content. You can reduce the risk of being personally identified by using the website pseudonymously, though doing so could detract from the credibility of your contributions to the website.
Please also note that the messages you send or receive using the website are only private to the extent that you and the sender/recipient keep them private. For example, we do not have any control over whether a recipient of one of your personal messages publicly posts it or its contents.
V. DATA RETENTION AND ACCOUNT TERMINATION
The information we obtain from or about you may be processed and stored in the United Kingdom. We may keep it as long as is permitted or required under the law. If you terminate your account, we will remove your Public Content from the site, but may retain your data for a period of 7 years (or longer if required by law) in our active systems in order to ensure our ability to satisfy the authorised uses under this Privacy Policy. For example, we may use retained data to prevent, investigate, or identify possible wrongdoing in connection with the site or to comply with legal obligations. Please note that information may exist in backup storage even after it has been removed from our active databases. You can request that your account be terminated or request reviews and comments erased by emailing info@itsallaboutyou.co.uk.
We will respond to requests relating to personal data sent from within the European Union according to the procedures mandated by the member state from where the request is sent. You will receive a response to your request within 30 days.

We follow generally accepted industry standards to protect the personal information submitted to us, both during transmission and once we receive it.

VIV. COOKIES AND IP ADDRESSES
When you visit one of our websites, we may send you a cookie. A cookie is a small file which is placed on your computer or device.
1. Essential Cookies
These cookies are essential for the running of our websites. Without the use of these cookies parts of our websites would not function.
2. Analytical Performance Cookies
We use these types of cookies to monitor our websites performance and how their users may use it. These cookies provide us with information that helps us provide better products to their users and also to identify any areas that may need maintenance.
3. Functional Cookies
Functional cookies are used to remember your preferences on our websites.
4. Behavioural Advertising Cookies/Third Party Cookies
We, and our advertisers/sponsors, may use cookies to provide tailored advertising to you, which we believe are relevant to you.
Online behavioural advertising is a way of providing advertisements on the websites you visit and making them more relevant to your interests. This is done by grouping together shared interests based upon previous web browsing activity. Advertising is then displayed to you when you visit a website which matches these interests.
Behavioural advertising is based upon your web browsing activity over a period of time – so it’s different to advertising you may see when you’re looking for something online using a search engine (eg Google) or on the website you may be visiting at a particular time.
As an example, you may be doing research in order to buy food and read a number of different articles on a number of different websites. If a food manufacturer was part of an advertising network, they may think that you are interested in buying a specific food and serve you with one of their adverts for one of their products. It is possible that from reading these articles elsewhere, you would see this advert on one of our or someone else’s websites.
We cannot control nor do we have access to any cookies placed on your computer by third party advertisers and sponsors.
We may also track IP addresses. An IP Address is a number that can identify an Internet Service Provider and country location. It cannot provide personal information.
