Privacy Policy

How we look after your data. In plain English. Last updated: 23 October 2026.

Who we are

Conscious Diabetic is run by Brett Taylor. The data controller decides how your data is used, and is responsible for it.

Controller details are being finalised. Questions about your data: use the contact form.

What we collect

Why we use it

The diabetes poll

If you vote, we save your choice for that month with a hashed random code, not your name, email or IP address. Your browser remembers a separate code for each month to avoid counting your vote twice. We keep monthly totals to help choose future stories and videos. Only combined totals are shown. Clearing your browser storage removes the codes from your device.

We use your details to email you about the book, new content and the community. Our lawful basis is consent. That means we only email you because you said yes. You can say no at any time.

How long we keep it

We keep your details while you are on the list. If you unsubscribe, we stop emailing you straight away. We keep a short record that you unsubscribed, so we never email you by mistake.

Who we share it with

We never sell your data. We only share it with companies that help us run this site:

International transfers

Some of these providers may store data outside the UK or the European Economic Area. When this happens, we make sure there are proper protections in place, such as Standard Contractual Clauses or an adequacy decision.
