Privacy Policy

rush & Bolter is an independent editorial blog. This Privacy Policy explains what personal information may be collected when you visit or interact with this website, how that information may be used, and the choices available to you.

Who we are

Brush & Bolter is a UK-based independent website focused on hobby, editorial, review, commentary, and journalism-style content relating to miniature wargaming and related subjects.

What information we may collect

• Information you choose to provide. If you contact us through the website or by email, we may receive your name, email address, and the content of your message.

• Technical and usage information. Like most websites, this site and its hosting providers may process technical information such as IP address, browser type, device information, referral source, and general usage data for security, performance, and diagnostic purposes.

• Consent preferences. We may store information about your cookie and consent choices through the site’s consent tools.

• Embedded content interactions. Some pages may contain embedded or linked third-party content, including video or media services. If you interact with that content, the third party may process information in accordance with its own policies.

What we do not currently offer

At the time of this policy, Brush & Bolter does not operate a public customer checkout, paid membership scheme, or general user account system for readers on this site. If that changes, this policy should be updated.

How we may use information

• To operate, secure, maintain, and improve the website.

• To respond to messages, requests, or correspondence.

• To maintain records of consent choices where required.

• To understand site performance, reliability, and basic usage trends.

• To comply with legal obligations or protect the site, its operator, and its readers.

Legal bases for processing

Where UK GDPR or EU GDPR applies, we generally rely on legitimate interests in operating and securing the website, consent where non-essential cookies or comparable optional services are used, and legal obligation where processing is required by law.

Cookies and similar technologies

This site uses a consent banner and cookie management tools. Essential technologies may be required for the website to function properly. Optional technologies should only be used in line with the consent choices you make through the banner or related settings. For more detail, please read the site’s Cookie Policy.

Who information may be shared with

Information may be processed by trusted service providers involved in hosting, security, consent management, and site delivery. For example, this website is built and hosted on Wix, and consent management functionality may involve Usercentrics for Wix. If embedded third-party media is used, those providers may also process information when their content is loaded or interacted with.

We may also disclose information where reasonably necessary to comply with law, enforce legal rights, or protect the site and its users.

Your rights

Depending on where you are located, you may have rights relating to the personal information processed about you, including rights to request access, correction, erasure, restriction, objection, or data portability, and the right to withdraw consent where consent is the basis for processing.

If you believe your data protection rights have been breached, you may also have the right to complain to the UK Information Commissioner’s Office or the supervisory authority in your jurisdiction.

Changes and contact

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes to the website, the services used on it, or legal requirements. If you have questions about this policy or want to make a privacy-related request, please contact Brush & Bolter using the contact details or contact page provided on this website.
