Who we are

Sheffield Weekly is a free email newsletter about things to do in Sheffield, UK. You can contact us at hello@sheffieldweekly.co.uk.

What data we collect

When you sign up, we collect your email address. That's it.

We do not collect your name, location, payment details, or any other personal information through the signup form.

Why we collect it

We use your email address solely to send you our weekly newsletter. We will never sell, rent, or share your email address with third parties for marketing purposes.

How we store it

Your data is stored by us and by carefully selected third-party processors (“subprocessors”) that help us run the site and newsletter.

Subprocessors

We only share data with providers needed to operate Sheffield Weekly. Depending on our active configuration, some providers below may be used as alternatives rather than at the same time.

  • Amazon Web Services Inc: Email Delivery Provider
  • Cloudflare Inc: Cloud Infrastructure & Security Provider
  • BunnyWay d.o.o: Cloud Infrastructure Provider
  • Vercel Inc: Cloud Infrastructure Provider

Analytics

We may use privacy-friendly analytics (such as Plausible Analytics) to understand how visitors use our website. These tools do not use cookies and do not collect personal data. Our Plausible Analytics setup is also entirely self-hosted, meaning only we have access to that data.

Our email provider may track open rates and click rates in aggregate to help us improve the newsletter. You can opt out of email tracking by disabling remote images in your email client.

Your rights

Under UK GDPR, you have the right to:

  • Unsubscribe at any time — every email includes a one-click unsubscribe link.
  • Request a copy of your data — email us and we'll send you everything we hold (it's just your email address and name if you provided it).
  • Request deletion — email us and we'll permanently delete your data from our systems and our subprocessor.
  • Lodge a complaint — you can contact the ICO (ico.org.uk) if you believe your data rights have been violated.

Cookies

This website does not use cookies for tracking or advertising. If we use analytics, we use a cookieless, privacy-friendly solution.

Sponsors & advertising

Our newsletter contains sponsored content from local businesses. Clicking a sponsor link may take you to a third-party website with its own privacy policy. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of other sites.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. We'll note the date of the last update at the top of this page. Material changes will be communicated via the newsletter.
