Privacy Policy
Last updated: 6 September 2026
This Privacy Policy explains how personal information is collected and used when you visit or interact with MadisonCulver.com.
Who I am
MadisonCulver.com is operated by Madison Culver.
For the purposes of UK data protection law, Madison Culver is the data controller for personal information collected through this website.
If you have a question about this Privacy Policy or how your personal information is handled, you can contact me through the contact page on MadisonCulver.com.
Information I collect
The information collected depends on how you interact with the website.
This may include:
- information you provide through a contact form, such as your name, email address and message;
- technical information such as your IP address, browser type, device information and information about how you interact with the website;
- information collected through cookies or similar technologies;
- correspondence if you contact me directly; and
- information generated when you click an affiliate or third-party link.
I do not intentionally collect sensitive personal information through this website.
How I use your information
I may use personal information to:
- respond to messages, questions, enquiries or business proposals;
- operate, maintain and secure the website;
- understand how the website is being used and improve its content and performance;
- manage relationships with readers, brands, partners or other people who contact me;
- send website-generated emails;
- comply with legal or regulatory obligations; and
- establish, exercise or defend legal rights where necessary.
Depending on the circumstances, I rely on legitimate interests, consent, legal obligations or taking steps at your request before entering into a contract as the lawful basis for processing personal information.
Where processing relies on consent, you can withdraw that consent at any time.
Contact forms
MadisonCulver.com uses Jetpack Forms to provide website forms.
When you submit a form, the information you enter may be stored within WordPress and sent to me by email so that I can respond to your enquiry.
Depending on the configuration of the website and form, technical information such as an IP address or browser information may also be processed for security, fraud prevention or spam protection.
Information submitted through a contact form is used only for the purpose for which it was submitted and for related correspondence or legitimate administrative purposes.
Email delivery and Google services
MadisonCulver.com uses Google services, including the Gmail API, to authenticate the website’s email connection and send website-generated emails.
Google OAuth is used to securely connect the website to the authorised Google account without providing the website with the Google account password.
Access to Google user data through this connection is used solely to provide and maintain website email functionality. Google user data obtained through the OAuth connection is not sold, used for advertising, or used for unrelated purposes.
Information received from Google APIs is handled in accordance with the Google API Services User Data Policy, including its Limited Use requirements.
Website-generated emails may contain information submitted through a contact form, such as your name, email address and message, because this information needs to be delivered to me so that I can respond.
The Google OAuth connection is an administrative connection used to operate MadisonCulver.com. Website visitors are not asked to connect their own Google accounts to use the website.
Cookies and similar technologies
MadisonCulver.com may use cookies and similar technologies to operate the website, maintain security, remember preferences and understand how people use the site.
Some cookies are strictly necessary for the website to function.
If non-essential cookies or technologies are used for purposes such as analytics, advertising or measurement, they will be used in accordance with applicable consent requirements.
You can also control cookies through your browser settings. Disabling some cookies may affect how certain parts of the website function.
Analytics
The website may use analytics services to understand information such as which pages are visited, how visitors arrive at the site and how the website is used.
Where analytics technologies require consent under applicable UK law, they will not be activated until that consent has been provided.
This Privacy Policy will be updated where necessary as analytics services or other technologies are added or changed.
Affiliate links and third-party services
MadisonCulver.com may contain affiliate links. If you click an affiliate link or purchase something through one, I may receive a commission.
Affiliate networks, retailers and other third parties may collect information about your interaction with those links, such as referral information, device or browser information, IP address or purchase attribution data. Their collection and use of personal information is governed by their own privacy policies.
MadisonCulver.com may also link to or embed content from third-party websites and services. When you interact with those services, the third party may collect information about you independently.
I am not responsible for the privacy practices of third-party websites.
Who personal information may be shared with
Personal information may be processed by service providers that help me operate MadisonCulver.com, including website hosting and infrastructure providers, WordPress and website plugins, email and communications providers, security and spam-prevention services, analytics providers where used, and professional advisers where necessary.
This includes Jetpack Forms and Google in connection with email delivery through the Gmail API.
I do not sell your personal information.
I may also disclose information where required by law or where reasonably necessary to protect my legal rights or those of another person.
International transfers
Some service providers used by MadisonCulver.com may process information outside the United Kingdom.
Where personal information is transferred internationally, appropriate safeguards will be used where required under applicable data protection law. These may include transfers to countries recognised as providing an adequate level of protection or contractual safeguards approved for international data transfers.
How long I keep personal information
I keep personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected.
Contact form submissions and related correspondence will generally be retained for up to 24 months after the last meaningful interaction unless there is a legitimate reason to keep the information for longer.
Information associated with a contractual, commercial, tax, legal or regulatory matter may be retained for longer where necessary to comply with legal obligations or protect legal rights.
Technical and security information may be retained according to the retention periods used by the relevant website and infrastructure providers.
Your data protection rights
Depending on the circumstances, UK data protection law may give you the right to:
- request access to personal information held about you;
- ask for inaccurate information to be corrected;
- ask for personal information to be deleted;
- ask for processing to be restricted;
- object to certain uses of your personal information;
- request the transfer of certain personal information;
- withdraw consent where processing is based on consent; and
- complain about how your personal information has been handled.
These rights are not absolute and may depend on the circumstances and the lawful basis being relied upon.
To exercise your rights, contact me through MadisonCulver.com.
Complaints
If you have concerns about how your personal information has been handled, I would appreciate the opportunity to address them first.
You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the UK Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO), the UK’s data protection regulator.
Security
Reasonable technical and organisational measures are used to protect personal information from unauthorised access, loss, misuse, alteration or disclosure.
However, no method of transmitting or storing information online can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

This Privacy Policy may be updated as MadisonCulver.com develops, including when new services, analytics tools, affiliate platforms or other technologies are introduced.
