1. Scope of this policy.

Our privacy policy is intended to explain and clarify how we meet our own expectations regarding the privacy of visitors to our website, as well as meet the requirements of the new General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), which came into effect in the UK and EU law on Friday 25 May 2018.

2. Privacy notice

 i) Who are we and what do we do? Set Back In Time (https://www.setbackintime.co,uk) is a blog about vintage watches. Our contributors post recommendations for vintage watches. The website may contain affiliate links to external products. Set Back In Time may receive a commission for purchases made through these links. This does not influence our recommendations.

ii) We take data protection very seriously and understand the importance of protecting your privacy and personal information. The personal data we might collect from you is strictly limited in scope and is only collected if you make a comment or email us directly. Simply visiting the site does not require you to provide any personal information. Personal information is information that identifies you as an individual such as your name, email address or IP address.

 iii) Our website is hosted by TSOHOST in the UK and you can read their privacy policy here.

 iv) Unlike some ‘social media’ companies access to the material on Set Back In Time does not require registration, as such no personal information is obtained from you by us before you use the site, or while you use the site. The information is provided freely to you and all you need to do is visit the site.

v) There are numerous links on our website to external websites. These organisations will have their own privacy policy and, should they request you to register with them, we strongly advise you to consult their privacy policy.

vi) In order to provide our information service free of charge, we may accept advertisements on our pages and these may be supplied by Google. We strictly control the type of advertisement we show. If you have concerns regarding how your data might be used please consult Google’s Adsense policy notice. In summary, their policy states that:

Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a user’s previous visits to a website and other websites. Google’s use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve relevant ads to you based on your visit to our site and/or other sites on the Internet. You may opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Ads Settings. (Or you can opt out of a third-party vendor’s use of cookies for personalised advertising by visiting www.aboutads.info.)

3. Consent
