Who We Are
Mickey From The UK is an independent Disney Parks blog based in the United Kingdom. For the purposes of UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018, we are the data controller for personal data collected through this website. If you have any questions about how we handle your data, please contact us.
What Data We Collect
Mickey From The UK does not sell your personal data. We collect two types of data through this website:
- Non-personally identifiable data - including browser type, operating system, and referring pages. This is used to ensure our website displays correctly across different devices and browsers.
- Personally identifiable data - only collected in specific circumstances, such as when you sign up to our email club or enter a competition. Details of each are outlined below.
Your Rights Under UK GDPR
Under the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018, you have the following rights regarding your personal data:
- The right to access - you can request a copy of the personal data we hold about you
- The right to erasure - you can ask us to delete your personal data where there is no legitimate reason for us to continue holding it
To exercise any of these rights, please contact us. We will respond to all requests within 30 days.
Email Club
You can sign up to our email club for free. The only data we request is your email address, which is passed to and managed by our third-party email service provider, Brevo. You can read Brevo's privacy policy here. We will never sell or share your email address and will only use it to send you our newsletters. You can unsubscribe at any time using the link included in every email we send.
Competitions and Giveaways
From time to time we may run competitions or giveaways that require us to collect personal data such as your name and email address. Any data collected for this purpose will only be used to administer the competition. Once the competition has ended, all personal data collected will be deleted. We will never share your data with third parties unless this is explicitly stated before you enter.
Cookies
Our website uses cookies to function properly. We use a consent management platform, CookieFirst, to obtain and record your valid consent for the use of cookies in line with UK GDPR requirements. When you first visit our website, CookieFirst establishes a connection with their server and stores a cookie in your browser to record your preferences and activate only those cookies you have consented to.
The following data is collected by CookieFirst:
- Your consent status or withdrawal of consent
- Your anonymised IP address
- Information about your browser and device
- The date and time you visited our website
- The URL where you saved or updated your consent preferences
- Your approximate location at the time of saving preferences
- A universally unique identifier (UUID) assigned to your visit
We have a data processing agreement in place with CookieFirst, ensuring your data is processed only in accordance with our instructions and in compliance with UK GDPR. The legal basis for this processing is Article 6(1)(c) of the UK GDPR.
Google Analytics
We use Google Analytics to monitor website traffic and usage. This data is used solely for understanding how our website is used and improving the experience for our visitors. We do not use Google Analytics data for advertising purposes. Google Analytics collects data such as pages visited, time spent on the site, and general location. This data is anonymised and aggregated. You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking by installing the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on.
Advertising
Mickey From The UK uses third-party advertising services, including Google, to display ads on this website. These services may use cookies to serve ads based on your previous visits to this or other websites. Google's advertising cookies allow it and its partners to show you ads based on your browsing activity.
You can manage your ad preferences or opt out of interest-based advertising by visiting your Google account settings or AboutAds.info. Please note that opting out does not mean you will stop seeing adverts - it means they will no longer be tailored to your interests.
External Links
This website contains links to external websites. We have no control over the content or privacy practices of those sites and are not responsible for any data you provide to them. We recommend reviewing the privacy policy of any external website before submitting personal information. Some external links may be affiliate links - please refer to our disclaimers page for more information.
Data Retention
We only retain personal data for as long as is necessary for the purpose it was collected. Email addresses collected for our email club are held until you unsubscribe. Competition data is deleted once the competition has ended. Non-personally identifiable analytics data may be retained for longer periods for the purposes of website performance monitoring.
Third Party Processors
We use the following third-party services which may process your data on our behalf:
- Brevo - email marketing and newsletter delivery
- CookieFirst - cookie consent management
- Google Analytics - website traffic analysis
- Google Ads - advertising services
Each of these providers has their own privacy policy and data processing practices. We have data processing agreements in place where required by UK GDPR.
