• your name and email address if you contact us, submit a form, sign up to updates, or otherwise choose to send us your details;
• the content of messages you send to us;
• technical information such as your IP address, browser type, device type, operating system and approximate location;
• information about how you use the website, such as pages visited, links clicked and referring websites;

How we use your information

We may use personal information to:

• reply to enquiries or messages;
• send updates or newsletters where you have asked to receive them;

• understand which pages, articles and links are useful to readers;
• protect the website from spam, abuse, fraud or technical problems;
• track affiliate referrals and commissions where affiliate links are used;
• meet legal, regulatory or record-keeping obligations.

Our lawful reasons for using your information

Under UK data protection law, we need a lawful reason to use personal information. The lawful reasons we may rely on include:

• Consent — for example, where you agree to receive email updates or accept non-essential cookies.
• Legitimate interests — for example, to operate, secure and improve the website, provided this does not override your rights.
• Contract — where we need to respond to something you have asked us to do.
• Legal obligation — where we need to keep or disclose information to comply with the law.

Affiliate links and third-party websites

Some pages on Ripped & Torn may contain affiliate links. If you click one of these links and buy something from a third-party website, Ripped & Torn may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you.

Affiliate links may use tracking technologies to record that you came from this website. This tracking is usually operated by the affiliate network, retailer, marketplace or third-party service involved.

When you click an external link, you leave Ripped & Torn and visit a third-party website. We are not responsible for the privacy practices, cookie policies, content, security, prices, delivery, returns or customer service of those external websites.

You should check the privacy policy and terms of any third-party website before using it or buying from it.

Cookies and similar technologies

This website may use cookies and similar technologies to make the site work, improve performance, understand visitor behaviour, remember preferences, show embedded content, protect against spam, and track affiliate referrals.

Some cookies are essential for the website to function. Others, such as analytics, advertising, affiliate tracking or embedded media cookies, may require your consent before they are used.

For more information, please see our Cookie Policy.

Analytics

We may use analytics tools to understand how visitors use the website. These tools may collect information such as pages viewed, time spent on the site, links clicked, browser type, device type and approximate location.

Analytics helps us understand what readers find useful and how the website can be improved. Where required, analytics cookies or similar tracking technologies will only be used with your consent.

Email updates and newsletters

If you sign up to receive email updates, we may use your name and email address to send those updates.

You can unsubscribe at any time by using the unsubscribe link in the email or by contacting us through the contact page.

We will not sell your email address to third parties.

Contact forms and messages

If you contact us through the website, by email, or through another contact method, we will use the information you provide to respond to your enquiry.

We may keep a record of correspondence for administration, legal, security or reference purposes.

Embedded content

Pages on this website may include embedded content from other websites, such as videos, audio players, social media posts, maps, newsletters, Substack content or other external media.

Embedded content from other websites behaves in the same way as if you had visited that external website directly. Those websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with the embedded content.

Who we may share information with

We may share limited information with trusted third-party service providers where necessary to operate the website and related services. These may include:

• website hosting providers;
• website maintenance and security tools;
• analytics providers;

• law enforcement or regulators, where legally required.

We only share information where there is a valid reason to do so.

How long we keep information

We only keep personal information for as long as necessary for the reason it was collected.

For example:

• contact form messages may be kept for as long as needed to deal with the enquiry and maintain appropriate records;
• newsletter details are kept until you unsubscribe or ask us to remove them;
• analytics data may be kept in aggregated or anonymised form for reporting and website improvement;
• records may be kept longer where required for legal, tax, security or dispute purposes.

International transfers

Some third-party services used by this website may process information outside the UK. Where this happens, we expect those providers to use appropriate safeguards to protect personal information in line with applicable data protection law.

How we protect information

We take reasonable steps to protect personal information from loss, misuse, unauthorised access, alteration or disclosure.

However, no website, email system or online service can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
