Privacy Policy
Last updated: April 2026
At The Safety Edit™, we take your privacy seriously. This policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and what rights you have. We've written it in plain language so it's easy to understand.
This website is operated by The Safety Edit™, based in the United Kingdom. We serve users in the UK, USA, and Canada. We are registered with the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) in the United Kingdom as a data controller.
1. What Information We Collect
Information you give us
Email address — when you sign up via a form, quiz, or waitlist on our website. Quiz responses — if you take our safety awareness quiz, we may collect your answers to provide personalised guidance. These are not linked to personally identifiable information unless you also provide your email.
Information collected automatically
Cookies and analytics data — we use cookies to understand how visitors use our site (e.g. which pages are visited, how long people stay). This helps us improve the experience for everyone. Device and browser information — basic technical data such as browser type, device type, and approximate location (country level) may be collected via analytics tools.
Information from third parties
If you click an affiliate link on our site, the retailer or affiliate network may collect data about your visit and purchase. We do not receive your personal details from these transactions — only aggregated performance data (e.g. number of clicks or sales).
2. How We Use Your Information
- To send you emails — if you sign up, we'll send you safety guides, updates, and occasional offers. You can unsubscribe at any time.
- To personalise your experience — quiz responses help us point you to the most relevant guides and resources.
- To improve our website — analytics data helps us understand what's working and what could be better.
- To comply with legal obligations — we may retain certain data as required by law.
We do not sell your personal data to third parties.
3. Cookies
Cookies are small files stored on your device when you visit a website. We use them for:
Analytics — to understand how our site is used (e.g. via Google Analytics or a similar tool). This data is anonymised where possible. Functionality — to remember your preferences and improve your experience.
You can control or disable cookies through your browser settings at any time. Please note that disabling cookies may affect how some parts of the site work.
When you first visit our site, you'll be asked to consent to non-essential cookies in line with UK GDPR requirements.
4. Affiliate Links
Some links on this website may be affiliate links. This means we may earn a small commission if you make a purchase through them, at no extra cost to you. We only recommend products we believe are genuinely useful. Affiliate relationships do not influence our editorial content.
