Who we share information with
We do not sell your personal information.

We may also share information if required by law or to protect our legal rights.
How long we keep your information
We keep personal information only for as long as it is reasonably needed for the purpose for which it was collected, including delivering the ebook, sending relevant updates, keeping business records, dealing with enquiries, and meeting legal, accounting, or security requirements.

Cookies and similar technologies
This website uses cookies and similar technologies to make the site work properly, keep it secure, and improve reliability. These may include cookies used by WordPress, hosting infrastructure, caching systems, or security checks.
We do not use cookies purely to deliver the free ebook. If non-essential cookies such as analytics, advertising, or similar tracking technologies are introduced in future, we will aim to provide clear notice and request consent where required.
Affiliate links
Some pages on this website contain affiliate links, including links to NordVPN. If you click one of these links and later make a purchase, Cybersecurity Advisor may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. Affiliate partners may apply their own cookies or tracking once you leave this website and visit their services. Their privacy and cookie practices are governed by their own policies, not this one.
International transfers
Some website suppliers or email delivery services may store or process information outside the United Kingdom. Where that happens, we aim to use providers that offer appropriate safeguards for personal information.
Your rights
Under UK data protection law, you may have the right to request access to your personal information, ask for inaccurate information to be corrected, ask for information to be erased, object to certain processing, ask us to restrict processing, request transfer of information in some circumstances, and withdraw consent where consent is the basis we rely on.
To exercise any of these rights, please contact us using the details on this page.
Complaints
If you have concerns about how your personal information is handled, please contact us first and we will try to resolve the issue. You also have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO), the UK data protection regulator. You can find more information at ico.org.uk.

We may update this policy from time to time to reflect changes to the website, legal requirements, or the way Cybersecurity Advisor operates. The latest version will always be published on this page.
