Thinker’s Journal is a bi-monthly print magazine dedicated to Welsh chess. Our website is: https://thinkersjournal.wales

What Data We Collect and Why

We collect personal data only when you actively provide it — when you place an order, subscribe to the magazine, or use the contact form. Data we may collect includes your name, email address, postal address (for print delivery), and payment details (processed securely via our payment provider; we never store card numbers).

We use this data solely to fulfil your order or subscription, respond to your enquiry, and — with your consent — send you magazine updates.

Cookies

Our website uses cookies for essential functions (such as keeping your shopping cart active) and, with your consent, for analytics. You can manage your cookie preferences at any time using the banner shown on your first visit.

Data Retention

We retain personal data for as long as necessary to fulfil the purpose for which it was collected, and as required by law. Subscription and order records are kept for seven years in line with UK financial record-keeping requirements.

Your Rights Under UK GDPR

You have the right to: access the data we hold about you; request correction of inaccurate data; request deletion (where no legal obligation requires retention); object to or restrict processing; and lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) at ico.org.uk.
