Privacy statement

Last updated: 1 October 2026

This statement explains what personal information Nassau & Beyond ("we", "us") collects when you use this website, why, and what you can do about it. We have tried to keep it short because we collect very little.

What we collect

When you simply read the magazine we do not ask for any personal information. We do not use advertising trackers, social-media pixels or third-party analytics. Like every website, our server and the network that delivers our pages receive technical information with each request – your IP address, browser type, the page requested and the time. This is used to deliver the page, keep the site secure (for example to block abusive traffic) and fix faults. Server logs are kept for a limited period and then deleted.

When you write to us through the contact form we receive your name, email address, the topic you choose and your message. We use these only to read and, where needed, answer your message, and to follow up on corrections or pitches.

Editors who sign in to manage the site receive a session cookie; see the cookie statement.

We process information to run and protect the website and to answer messages you send us. Where a legal basis is required, it is our legitimate interest in operating a secure magazine and corresponding with readers, or your request to us.

Who sees it

Your messages are read by the magazine's writers and editors only. We use a hosting provider and a content delivery and security service to serve the site; they process technical request data on our behalf. We do not sell, rent or trade personal information, and we do not share it with advertisers.

How long we keep it

Contact messages are kept for as long as needed to deal with them and for a reasonable period afterwards in case of follow-up – normally no more than two years – and then deleted. Server logs are kept for a short period for security and troubleshooting.

Your rights

You may ask us to tell you what information we hold about you, to correct it, or to delete it. Depending on where you live – for example under the Bahamas Data Protection (Privacy of Personal Information) Act or the European Union's GDPR – you may have further rights, including the right to object to processing and to complain to your data protection authority. To use any of these rights, write to us through the contact page and tell us the email address you used.

Children

The magazine is written for a general adult audience and we do not knowingly collect information from children.

Articles sometimes link to official or third-party websites. Their privacy practices are their own; please read their policies.

Changes

If we change how we handle personal information we will update this page and the date at the top.
