Privacy Policy

MenWith Magazine ("MenWith", "we", "us") publishes editorial coverage of luxury lifestyle. This policy explains what personal information we collect when you visit our website, why we collect it, how we use it, and the choices available to you. It applies to menwith.com and, as described below, to our subdomains.

Information We Collect

We keep data collection to a minimum. We collect the email address you provide when you subscribe to our newsletter, The MenWith Briefing, and the name, email address, and message content you submit through our contact form. If you hold an editorial or administrative account, we process the account credentials and role information needed to sign you in. We also receive standard technical information that your browser sends when you request a page, such as IP address, browser type, referring page, and the pages you view, together with aggregated usage statistics.

How We Use Information

We use the information we collect to deliver and improve the site, to send the newsletter you asked for, to respond to enquiries and partnership requests, to understand which stories resonate with our readers, to keep the site secure and prevent abuse, and to comply with our legal obligations. We do not sell your personal information, and we do not use your details for automated decision-making that has legal consequences for you.

Legal Bases

Where data protection law requires a legal basis, we rely on your consent for newsletter subscriptions, on our legitimate interests in operating, securing, and improving an editorial publication, on the performance of a contract where we have an agreement with you, and on legal obligation where retention or disclosure is required by law.

Newsletter and Email

Newsletter subscriptions are confirmed by email before any dispatch begins. Our emails may record whether a message was delivered, opened, or clicked so that we can measure interest and maintain list quality. Every edition contains an unsubscribe link, and you can withdraw your consent at any time by using that link or by contacting us. Unsubscribing removes you from future dispatches.

Cookies and Analytics

We use a small number of cookies and similar technologies that are necessary for the site to function, to remember preferences, and to keep signed-in sessions active. We also use analytics and visitor measurement tools that help us understand traffic patterns in aggregate. You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings; parts of the site, including signed-in areas, may not work correctly if you do.

Service Providers

We work with a limited set of providers who process information on our behalf so that we can run the publication. These include our hosting and content delivery platform, our database, authentication, and file storage platform, our email delivery provider, and our analytics and audience measurement tools. Providers are given only the information they need to perform their service and are required to handle it on our instructions. Some providers may process information outside your country; where that happens, we rely on the safeguards offered by those providers.

Our Subdomains

MenWith operates a number of subdomains alongside the main magazine at menwith.com and www.menwith.com. This policy applies to all MenWith-operated subdomains unless a specific subdomain publishes its own notice, in which case that notice governs the parts of the experience it describes.

Our partner and media kit subdomain, partners.menwith.com, hosts commercial and advertising information for brands. If you contact us there or request materials, we process the business contact details you provide in order to respond and to manage the relationship. Our notification subdomain, notify.menwith.com, is used to send transactional and newsletter email, including subscription confirmations, account emails, and dispatch tracking. Additional subdomains may be introduced for editorial projects, events, or internal tools; when they are, the same principles set out in this policy apply. Some subdomains are operated on third-party platforms, and those platforms may set their own cookies and maintain their own privacy notices, which we encourage you to review.

Third-Party Links and Embeds

Our articles link to external sites and may embed content such as video or social posts. We do not control those services, and their handling of your information is governed by their own privacy policies.

Retention

We keep personal information only as long as it serves the purpose for which it was collected. Newsletter subscriptions are kept until you unsubscribe or ask us to remove your record. Contact form messages are kept for as long as needed to handle the enquiry and to maintain a reasonable record of correspondence. Technical and analytics data is retained in aggregated or limited form.

Security

We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect personal information, including encrypted connections, access controls that limit who can reach editorial and subscriber data, and restricted administrative accounts. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Your Rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to request access to the personal information we hold about you, to have it corrected or deleted, to restrict or object to certain processing, to receive a copy in a portable format, and to withdraw consent you previously gave. To exercise any of these rights, contact us using the details below. We may need to verify your identity before acting on a request.

Children

Our content is intended for an adult audience. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, contact us and we will delete it.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy to reflect changes in our practices, our technology, or the law. The date at the top of this page shows when it was last revised. Material changes will be highlighted on this page.

Contact

Questions about this policy, or requests concerning your personal information, can be sent through our contact page. We aim to respond to privacy requests within a reasonable time and, where required by law, within the applicable statutory period.
