We do not collect readers.

Nothing you have to give us. Legal Chronicle has no accounts, no login, no comment box, no newsletter signup and no contact form. There is nothing on this site that asks you to type in personal information, so we hold no reader database.

If you email us a pitch or a query, we hold that email and its contents for as long as it takes to answer you and — where the pitch becomes a published piece — to keep an editorial record of how that piece came about.

We set no cookies of our own, run no analytics product, and load no advertising or social tracking scripts. There is no consent banner on this site because there is nothing to consent to.

Your browser may store things locally for its own reasons — cached pages, images, fonts. That data stays on your device and is never read back by us.

Cover images on this site are currently placeholder photographs loaded from picsum.photos. Your browser fetches them directly, which means that provider receives your IP address and user agent, as any image host would. These placeholders will be replaced with our own artwork as the archive grows.

Typefaces are self-hosted and served from this site, so reading a page makes no request to a font provider.

Our hosting provider keeps standard access logs — IP address, timestamp, requested page, user agent — for security, abuse prevention and diagnosing faults. Those logs are not combined with anything else, are not used to build a profile of you, and are not sold or shared for marketing.

Legal Chronicle is written for law students and general readers, and is not directed at children. We do not knowingly collect information from anyone, of any age, because the site does not collect reader information at all.

Because we hold no reader accounts, most access and deletion requests have nothing to act on. Where we do hold something — an email you sent us — you can ask what we hold, ask us to correct it, or ask us to delete it, and we will do so unless we are required to keep it.

Readers in India may exercise the rights available to them under the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023; readers elsewhere may have equivalent rights under their own law. Write to us and we will treat the request on its merits rather than asking which statute you are relying on.

If the site changes in a way that affects this policy — a newsletter, a submission form, an analytics tool — this page is updated in the same change, and the date below moves with it. We do not backdate it.
