Privacy Policy
Last updated: 2 June 2026
UK Snack Attack (“we”, “us”, “our”) operates the website uksnackattack.co.uk and the associated UK Snack Attack social media channels. This policy explains what personal data we collect, why, and your rights over it. We are the data controller for the purposes of UK data protection law (UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018).
Who we are
UK Snack Attack is a sole trader business based in the United Kingdom, publishing snack and confectionery news. For any privacy questions or requests, contact us at info@uksnackattack.co.uk.
Information we collect
- Comments and messages: If you leave a comment or contact us, we collect the information you provide (such as your name, email address and message), plus your IP address and browser details to help detect spam.
- Email subscriptions: If you sign up for updates, we store the email address you give us.
- Cookies and usage data: Like most websites, we use cookies and similar technologies to remember preferences and understand how the site is used.
- Server logs: Our hosting provider automatically records standard technical information (IP address, browser type, pages visited) for security and reliability.
- Embedded content: Pages may include embedded content (videos, images, social posts) which behaves as if you visited the other website and may collect data about you under its own policy.
How we use your information
- To publish and respond to comments and enquiries.
- To send updates you have asked to receive.
- To operate, secure and improve the website.
- To understand which content is popular (analytics).
Our lawful bases are your consent (e.g. marketing emails and non-essential cookies), our legitimate interests in running and securing the site, and compliance with legal obligations where relevant.
Our social media and post-scheduling tools
We operate official UK Snack Attack pages on platforms including Facebook/Meta. We use scheduling and management tools — accessed using our own administrator login — to plan and publish our own posts to these pages. These tools act only on our own content and accounts; they do not collect, store or process personal data about our followers or website visitors. When you interact with us on a third-party platform (for example by following, liking or commenting on Facebook), that platform processes your data under its own privacy policy, which we do not control. Please refer to Meta’s Privacy Policy for how Meta handles your data.
Sharing your information
We do not sell your personal data. We share it only with service providers who help us run the site (such as our website host, email and analytics providers), who process it on our instructions, and where required by law.
Data retention
We keep personal data only as long as needed for the purposes above — for example, comments are kept so follow-ups display correctly, and subscriber emails are kept until you unsubscribe.
Your rights
Under UK data protection law you have the right to access, correct, delete or restrict use of your personal data, to object to processing, and to data portability. To exercise any of these, email info@uksnackattack.co.uk. You also have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) at ico.org.uk.
How to request deletion of your data
To request deletion of personal data we hold about you, email info@uksnackattack.co.uk with the subject “Data deletion request” and we will action it within one month.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. The “last updated” date above shows when it was last revised.
