If ownership or control of the website or operating company changes, relevant information may be transferred as part of a legitimate business transaction, subject to applicable legal requirements.
9. Third-Party Websites and Services
Listicles UK contains links to websites operated by third parties.
Following an external link may allow another organisation to collect information from you. We do not control third-party websites and their handling of personal information is governed by their own privacy policies.
We recommend reviewing the privacy information provided by any third-party website before submitting personal information.
The presence of a link on Listicles UK does not mean that we are responsible for the privacy practices of the external website.
10. International Data Transfers
Some service providers used to operate websites, analytics services, email platforms or other technology may process information outside the United Kingdom.
Where personal information is transferred internationally, we aim to ensure that appropriate protections required by applicable UK data protection law are used.
Depending on the destination and circumstances, these protections may include UK adequacy regulations, approved contractual safeguards or another lawful transfer mechanism.
11. How Long We Keep Personal Information
We do not intend to keep personal information for longer than reasonably necessary.
Retention periods depend on:
- Why the information was collected
- Whether we still need it for that purpose
- Legal or regulatory requirements
- Security requirements
- Whether the information is required to establish, exercise or defend legal claims
Newsletter information may generally be retained while you remain subscribed. If you unsubscribe, limited information may be retained where necessary to record and respect that request.
Contact correspondence may be retained for as long as reasonably necessary to respond to the enquiry and deal with related matters.
Technical and security records may be retained for an appropriate period depending on operational, security and legal requirements.
When personal information is no longer required, we may delete, anonymise or securely dispose of it.
12. How We Protect Your Information
We take reasonable organisational and technical measures to protect personal information against:
- Unauthorised access
- Accidental loss
- Misuse
- Alteration
- Disclosure
- Destruction
However, no internet-based service or electronic storage system can guarantee absolute security.
You should therefore take appropriate precautions when communicating information online.

Depending on the circumstances and applicable law, you may have rights concerning your personal information, including the right to:
Access Your Information
You may request confirmation of whether we hold personal information about you and, where applicable, request a copy.

You may object to certain processing based on legitimate interests.
You have the right to object at any time to the use of your personal information for direct marketing purposes.
Data Portability
Where applicable, you may have the right to receive certain personal information in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format or request that it be transferred to another organisation.
Withdraw Consent
Where we rely on consent, you can withdraw that consent at any time.
Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before consent was withdrawn.
Not every right applies in every situation, and certain legal exceptions may apply.
14. Making a Privacy Request
If you want to exercise a data protection right or have a question about how we use your personal information, contact us through the Listicles UK Contact page.

16. Children’s Privacy
Listicles UK is intended for a general audience and is not specifically designed to collect personal information from children.
We do not knowingly seek unnecessary personal information from children.
If you believe a child has provided personal information to us inappropriately, please contact us so that we can review the situation and take appropriate action.
17. Automated Decision-Making
We do not intend to use information collected through Listicles UK to make significant decisions about individuals solely through automated processing.
If this changes, this Privacy Policy will be updated where required.
