EU/UK Visitors — GDPR Data Processing Notice
If you are located in the European Union, European Economic Area, or United Kingdom, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and UK GDPR apply to our processing of your personal data. This section provides the additional disclosures required under those laws.
Tech Weekly is the data controller for personal data collected through this Site. You can reach us at techweekly2022@gmail.com.
- Consent (Article 6(1)(a)): We rely on your consent for non-essential cookies, including analytics (Google Analytics) and advertising (Google AdSense). You may withdraw consent at any time by clicking the Cookie Settings link in the banner or in §2 above — withdrawal will not affect the lawfulness of processing before withdrawal.

- Performance of a contract (Article 6(1)(b)): If you create an account or subscribe to our newsletter, we process your email address to provide the service you requested.
As a data subject in the EU/UK, you have the following rights, which you may exercise free of charge by contacting us at techweekly2022@gmail.com. We will respond within one month.
- Right of access — obtain a copy of your personal data and information about how it is used.

- Right to restriction of processing — ask us to pause processing of your data in certain circumstances.
- Right to data portability — receive your data in a structured, machine-readable format.
- Right to object — object to processing based on legitimate interests or for direct marketing purposes.
- Right to withdraw consent — where processing is based on consent, withdraw it at any time without affecting the lawfulness of prior processing.
- Right not to be subject to solely automated decision-making — we do not make solely automated decisions that produce significant effects on you.
Our service providers (including Google Analytics and Google AdSense) may transfer and process your personal data in the United States or other countries outside the EU/UK. Where such transfers occur, Google relies on the EU Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) and the UK International Data Transfer Agreement (IDTA) as the lawful transfer mechanism. You can review Google's data transfer safeguards at policies.google.com/privacy/frameworks.
If you believe we have not handled your personal data in accordance with the GDPR or UK GDPR, you have the right to lodge a complaint with your local supervisory authority. In the EU, the relevant authority is your national Data Protection Authority (DPA). In the UK, the relevant authority is the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) at ico.org.uk/make-a-complaint.
Non-essential cookies (analytics and advertising) are only set after you give consent via the cookie banner. You can withdraw or adjust your consent at any time by clicking . Withdrawing consent will prevent further tracking but cannot undo data already collected before withdrawal.
