Effective Date: July 26, 2026 Last Updated: July 26, 2026 Website: https://michaelsdigitalworld.com
This page explains how Michael’s Digital World (“we,” “us,” or “our”) complies with the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the UK GDPR for visitors located in the European Economic Area (EEA), Switzerland, and the United Kingdom. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy.
Michael’s Digital World operates the website https://michaelsdigitalworld.com, providing technology tutorials, reviews, and educational content. For the purposes of the GDPR, we act as the data controller for personal information collected through our Site.
We collect the following categories of personal data from EEA/UK visitors:
Contact information you provide directly, such as your name and email address, when you subscribe to our newsletter, submit a contact form, or leave a comment.
Technical and usage data collected automatically, such as your IP address, browser type, device information, and browsing behavior on our Site, gathered through Google Analytics.
Advertising and affiliate data, such as cookie identifiers used by Google AdSense and our affiliate network partners to serve ads and track referrals.
We do not collect special categories of personal data (such as health, religious beliefs, or biometric data).
We only process your personal data where we have a valid legal basis to do so under Article 6 of the GDPR:
Consent — for example, when you subscribe to our newsletter or accept non-essential cookies. You may withdraw consent at any time.
Legitimate interests — for example, using analytics to understand and improve our Site, or maintaining Site security, provided this does not override your fundamental rights and freedoms.
Contractual necessity — for example, responding to a message you send us through our contact form.
Where we rely on consent for cookies or advertising, we will ask for your permission through a cookie banner before setting non-essential cookies.
We use your personal data to send newsletters and respond to inquiries, operate and improve our Site, analyze traffic patterns through Google Analytics, deliver and measure advertising through Google AdSense, and track affiliate referrals and commissions. We do not use your data for automated decision-making or profiling that produces legal or similarly significant effects on you.
We share personal data only with trusted service providers acting on our behalf, including Google (for Analytics and AdSense), our email newsletter provider, our hosting provider, and affiliate networks we partner with. We do not sell your personal data. Each of these providers is contractually or legally obligated to handle your data securely and in accordance with applicable law.
Some of our service providers, including Google, are based in or process data in the United States. Where personal data is transferred outside the EEA or UK, we rely on appropriate safeguards recognized under the GDPR, such as the European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses, to ensure your data remains protected.
We retain personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purpose for which it was collected, or as required by law. Newsletter and contact data is kept until you unsubscribe or request deletion. Analytics data is retained according to Google Analytics’ standard retention settings.
As a resident of the EEA, Switzerland, or the UK, you have the following rights regarding your personal data:
Right of access — request a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
Right to rectification — request correction of inaccurate or incomplete data.
Right to erasure — request deletion of your personal data, subject to certain legal exceptions.
Right to restrict processing — request that we limit how we use your data in certain circumstances.
Right to data portability — request your data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format.
Right to object — object to our processing of your data, including for direct marketing purposes.
Right to withdraw consent — withdraw consent at any time where processing is based on consent, without affecting the lawfulness of processing before withdrawal.
Right to lodge a complaint — file a complaint with your local data protection supervisory authority if you believe we have not handled your data properly.
To exercise any of these rights, contact us using the details in Section 10. We will respond to your request within one month, as required by the GDPR, and may extend this by a further two months for complex requests, in which case we will inform you of the reason for the delay.
We implement reasonable technical and organizational measures designed to protect your personal data against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, or alteration. In the event of a data breach likely to result in a risk to your rights and freedoms, we will notify affected individuals and the relevant supervisory authority as required under the GDPR.
