The small print

The short version: we collect as little as we can. Your checklist stays on your own device, and we only use analytics if you say yes.

Ready Steady Prep (readysteadyprep.co.uk) is run by retype. We are the data controller for personal information collected through this website.

For anything about your data, email privacy@readysteadyprep.co.uk.

• Visitor statistics (only with your consent). If you accept statistics cookies, we use Google Analytics to see which pages are useful, such as how many people visit and which guides they read. This is anonymous in our reports. Our lawful basis is your consent, and you can withdraw it at any time.
• Emails you send us. If you email us, we use your address and message to reply. Our lawful basis is our legitimate interest in answering you. We keep emails for up to two years, then delete them.
• Newsletter (only if you sign up). If you sign up for new-guide emails, we store your email address, where you signed up and when you confirmed. We send one email to check it was you; if you don’t confirm, we delete your address after 30 days. Our lawful basis is your consent. Every email has an unsubscribe link, and unsubscribing deletes your address straight away. Your address is kept on our own website and is never sold or shared for marketing. If we move the list to a newsletter service in future, we’ll update this notice first.
• Server and security logs. Our host keeps short-term technical logs (such as IP addresses) to keep the site secure and working. Our lawful basis is legitimate interests.

Your 3-day checklist ticks and your reading options (text size, spacing and so on) are saved in your own browser so they're there when you come back. They are never sent to us, and you can clear them at any time with the checklist's Clear button or your browser settings.

Our shop links go to Amazon UK. When you click one, Amazon may set its own cookies so the sale can be credited to us. Amazon handles that under its own privacy notice. We never see who you are or what you buy. More about how we make money.

We don't sell your data. We use a small number of service providers to run the site: our web host (20i, UK) and, if you consent, Google for analytics. Google may process data outside the UK under recognised safeguards.

Under UK data protection law you can ask to see the personal data we hold about you, have it corrected or deleted, restrict or object to how we use it, and withdraw consent at any time. Email privacy@readysteadyprep.co.uk and we'll reply within one month.

If you're unhappy with how we've handled your data, you can complain to the Information Commissioner's Office at ico.org.uk.
