Last updated: 24 January 2026

Introduction

Brivotie is an editorial publication. We value discretion, clarity and responsible stewardship of information—especially personal information. This page explains what data may be collected when you visit our website(s), why it is collected, and the choices available to you (including cookie preferences).

Who we are

Brivotie is an independent magazine about fashion, arts, culture, behaviour, well-ageing, beauty, and modern life. We publish original editorial content with an emphasis on clarity, taste and integrity.
This Privacy Policy & Cookie Statement applies to our website(s) and related services (such as newsletters, when launched).

The personal data we may collect

We only collect what is reasonably necessary to operate a modern publisher website.

A) Information you choose to provide

  • When you contact us: your email address and any details you include in your message (and your name, if you provide it).

B) Information collected automatically

Security and server logs: records that help prevent fraud/abuse, keep the site stable, and diagnose technical issues.

Technical and usage information: IP address, browser type, device information, operating system, pages viewed, approximate location derived from IP, referral source, and interaction data (such as timestamps and page performance).

C) Cookies and similar technologies
We use cookies and similar technologies (such as pixels and local storage) to run the site and, where enabled, for analytics, advertising, and affiliate attribution. See section 6.

Sensitive information
We do not intentionally collect special category data. Please avoid sending sensitive personal information by email.

How and why we use personal data (and our legal bases)

We process personal data only where UK GDPR allows it, using one or more of the lawful bases below:

1) To operate the website
To deliver pages, enable essential features, and maintain site performance.
Legal basis: Legitimate Interests (running a secure and functional publisher service).

2) To keep the site safe
To prevent fraud, protect against abuse, and maintain security monitoring.
Legal basis: Legitimate Interests (security and integrity).

3) To respond to enquiries
To reply when you contact us.
Legal basis: Legitimate Interests and/or steps taken at your request.

4) To measure and improve performance (when enabled)
To understand how readers use the site, improve layout and usability, and develop editorial strategy.
Legal basis: Consent where required for non-essential cookies; otherwise Legitimate Interests depending on configuration.

5) Advertising and affiliate monetisation (when enabled)
To display advertising, measure ad performance, control frequency, and—where enabled and consented—support personalised advertising; and to attribute affiliate referrals/commissions.
Legal basis: Consent where required for advertising/marketing cookies and similar technologies.

Newsletter (coming soon)
We plan to offer a newsletter. When launched, subscriptions will be managed with clear opt-in and an unsubscribe option in every email. Where required, we will rely on consent.

Sharing personal data

Like most publishers, we rely on carefully selected providers to host, secure, measure and monetise the website. We may share personal data with:

  • Hosting and infrastructure providers (site delivery and reliability)
  • Security and monitoring providers (fraud prevention, anti-abuse, performance monitoring)
  • Analytics providers (when enabled)
  • Advertising partners (ad delivery and measurement, and—if enabled and consented—personalisation)
  • Affiliate partners (referral attribution where affiliate links are used)

Where these organisations act as processors, they process personal data on our instructions and under contractual safeguards. In some cases (especially in advertising), certain partners may act as independent controllers depending on how the service is configured.

We do not sell personal data in the ordinary sense. We share data only for the purposes described in this policy.

Cookies and similar technologies (Cookie Statement)

Cookies are small files placed on your device. Some are essential; others support measurement and monetisation.

We use (or may use) the following categories:

  • Strictly necessary (essential functionality, security, load balancing)
  • Preferences (remembering choices, where enabled)
  • Analytics (understanding usage and improving performance, where enabled)
  • Advertising / Marketing (ad delivery and measurement; personalisation if enabled and consented)
  • Affiliate (attribution of purchases/commissions, where enabled)

Your choices (UK PECR + UK GDPR)
Non-essential cookies are used only where appropriate consent is obtained. You can update your choices at any time via Cookie Settings:

Cookie Settings: https://brivotie.com.br/cookie-settings/
(Once our consent tool is fully configured, this page will allow you to review and change cookie preferences.)

Advertising and affiliate links

Brivotie may earn revenue through advertising and affiliate links.

  • Advertising: ads may be served by third-party networks and may use cookies/identifiers for delivery and measurement.
  • Affiliate links: some links may generate a commission if you make a purchase.

Where required, we use a consent tool before enabling advertising/marketing cookies (including personalised advertising, if enabled). You can review and change choices at any time via Cookie Settings.

For editorial transparency, we also maintain an Advertising & Affiliate Disclosure page.

How long we keep personal data

We retain personal data only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described:

Newsletter (once launched): retained until you unsubscribe or the service is discontinued.
Enquiries: kept for as long as needed to respond and keep appropriate records.
Security logs: retained for a limited period to protect the site and troubleshoot issues.
Analytics/advertising data: retention depends on provider settings and our configuration.

We periodically review retention and delete or anonymise data when it is no longer needed.

International data transfers

Some service providers may process data outside the UK. Where this occurs, we use appropriate safeguards recognised under UK data protection law (for example, adequacy regulations or approved contractual protections) to help keep personal data protected.

Children

Brivotie is not directed at children. If you believe a child has provided personal data to us, please contact us and we will take appropriate steps to delete it.

Your rights

Depending on your circumstances, you may have rights under UK data protection law, including the right to access, correct, delete, restrict, object, and withdraw consent (where processing relies on consent).
