Privacy Policy
Last updated: March 2025
Becon ("we", "us", "our") is committed to protecting your privacy. This policy explains what personal data we collect, why we collect it, and how we use it.
1. What We Collect
We collect information you provide directly — such as your email address when subscribing to our newsletter. We also collect usage data automatically, including your IP address, browser type, pages visited, and referring URLs, to understand how our site is used and to improve it.
2. How We Use Your Data
We use your data to deliver newsletters and communications you have subscribed to, to analyse site performance, to improve user experience, and to comply with legal obligations. We do not sell your personal data to third parties.
3. Cookies
We use cookies and similar tracking technologies to operate the site, remember your preferences, and measure traffic. For full details on the cookies we use and how to manage them, see our Cookie Policy.
4. Third Parties
We use trusted third-party service providers for analytics, email delivery, and infrastructure. These providers process data on our behalf and are contractually bound to protect it. We may also share data where required by law or to protect the rights and safety of users or the public.
5. Data Retention
We retain personal data only as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, or as required by applicable law. Newsletter subscribers' data is retained for the duration of the subscription and deleted within 30 days of unsubscribing.
6. Your Rights
Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the right to access, correct, delete, or restrict processing of your personal data. You may also have the right to data portability and to object to certain processing. To exercise any of these rights, contact us at the address below.
7. Children's Privacy
Becon is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If you believe we have collected data from a child, please contact us immediately.
8. Changes to This Policy
We may update this policy from time to time. We will notify subscribers of material changes via email. Continued use of Becon after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
