Information we receive

You can read Westavine without creating an account. Our web server may record an IP address, browser type, referring page, requested URL and request time in standard security logs. If you contact the editorial desk, we receive the name, email address, subject and message that you submit.

How information is used

Server logs are used to maintain availability, investigate abuse and understand aggregate traffic. Contact details are used only to answer correspondence, evaluate corrections and preserve an editorial record where necessary. Westavine does not sell personal information or use submitted contact details for unrelated marketing.

Legal basis and retention

Security logging and editorial correspondence are processed for the legitimate interests of operating and protecting the publication. Routine logs are retained only as long as needed for security and diagnostics. Correspondence may be retained where it forms part of a correction, rights or publication record.

Processors and international access

Hosting and email providers may process limited information on our behalf under their own security and data-protection obligations. Information is disclosed where required by law or where necessary to protect the website and its users.

Your rights

Depending on applicable law, you may request access, correction or deletion of personal information, object to processing or ask for processing to be restricted. Send a request to privacy@westavine.com . We may need to verify identity before acting.
