This is the privacy notice for Stock Goblin. Throughout this document, "we," "our," or "us" refer to Stock Goblin. This notice should be read alongside our Terms and Conditions, which also include our Cookie Policy.
This notice explains our policy on the information we collect about you, and the conditions under which we process any data you provide or that we collect. This covers both identifiable personal information and non-identifiable data. In this notice, "process" means collecting, storing, transferring, using, or otherwise handling information.
By continuing to use our website, you accept the practices described in this notice. If you have concerns about any part of it, please contact us before continuing to use the site.
We are committed to protecting your privacy and confidentiality. We take care to ensure your personal data is not used for unintended purposes or accidentally disclosed to third parties, and we maintain the confidentiality of all information you provide.
Our policy adheres to UK law and the UK GDPR. For general information about your rights regarding personal data, you can visit Know Your Privacy Rights.
Except as stated below, we do not share, sell, or disclose any information collected through our website to third parties.
Data protection law requires us to identify which legal basis we rely on to process different categories of your personal information. We rely on the following four bases. If a processing basis is no longer relevant, we will stop processing your data; if the basis changes, we will notify you as required by law.
UK law also recognises certain "recognised legitimate interests" - a narrower, pre-defined list of purposes (such as safeguarding or crime prevention) that don't require the same balancing test as ordinary legitimate interests. We would only rely on this basis where a specific processing activity clearly falls within that defined list.
We offer web push notifications to keep you updated with the latest news from our site, using the services of WonderPush. To subscribe, you'll need to grant permission through a prompt from your browser or device. To deliver relevant notifications, we may process certain anonymised navigation data, stored on WonderPush's servers for no longer than 90 days. This data is not shared with any third parties, and we do not retain personally identifiable information, including IP addresses, connected to you or your device. You can unsubscribe from web push notifications at any time - see the WonderPush guide here for instructions.

We do not use your information to identify you personally without your consent, though we may aggregate it for general purposes such as monitoring website performance.
