5. Lawful bases

We rely on one or more of the following lawful bases under UK data protection law:

Contract
Where processing is necessary to provide a service, purchase, account, subscription or other arrangement you have requested.

Legitimate interests
Where processing is necessary for our legitimate interests, including operating, securing and improving our website and services, provided those interests are not overridden by your rights.

Legal obligation
Where we must process data to meet legal or regulatory obligations.

Consent
Where we rely on consent, including for certain non-essential cookies, analytics, marketing technologies or embedded third-party content where required.

6. Cookies, analytics and embedded media

Our website uses cookies and similar technologies.

Some are essential for the website to function, including security, fraud prevention, login and core performance cookies used by Wix. Wix documents a core set of cookies used on Wix sites and also states that additional business solutions, apps and integrations may introduce extra cookies or similar technologies.

We also use or may use:

Google Analytics to help us understand website usage and performance. Google states that website cookie settings for Analytics can be configured, including cookie expiry periods.
YouTube embeds, which may load content from YouTube. Where possible, we use YouTube’s privacy-enhanced mode via youtube-nocookie.com.
Vimeo embeds, which may use Vimeo player technologies. Where possible, we use Vimeo’s privacy-focused settings, including DNT where available. Vimeo states that DNT prevents Vimeo from setting new cookies during that viewing session, but previously stored Vimeo cookies may still be sent by the browser.
Base44 embeds or other embedded application content where enabled

Where required by law, non-essential analytics, media or similar technologies will be used only after you have given consent through our cookie banner or settings tool.

7. Marketing

We may send marketing emails or similar messages if you have requested them, consented, or where otherwise permitted by law.

You can opt out at any time by using the unsubscribe link in a message or by contacting us at info@sovereigncomics.co.uk.

8. Who we share personal data with

We may share personal data with:

Wix.com Ltd and related Wix service providers
payment providers and transaction processors
analytics providers, where enabled
media and embedded content providers, where enabled
professional advisers such as accountants, lawyers, auditors and insurers
regulators, public authorities, courts or law enforcement where required by law or necessary to protect our rights

We do not sell your personal data.

9. International transfers

Some of our service providers may process personal data outside the UK. Where that happens, we rely on appropriate safeguards required by law.

10. Data retention

We keep personal data only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this notice, including:

while accounts or subscriptions remain active
as needed to provide support and resolve disputes
as needed to meet legal, accounting and tax obligations

Transaction and accounting records may be retained for up to 6 years or longer where legally required.

Subject to applicable law, you may have rights to:

access your personal data
correct inaccurate data
request deletion
request restriction of processing
object to certain processing
request transfer of certain data
withdraw consent where we rely on consent

To exercise your rights, contact info@sovereigncomics.co.uk.

You also have the right to complain to the UK Information Commissioner’s Office.

12. Children and schools

Our services may be used by families, teachers and schools. We aim to minimise unnecessary data collection on pages likely to be used by children and to use privacy-conscious settings where possible.

13. Security

We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect personal data. However, no website or internet transmission can be guaranteed completely secure.

1) Cookie Table

2) Google Analytics

Google Analytics may use cookies or similar technologies to measure website usage. Google states that website cookie settings for Analytics can be configured, including cookie expiry periods from immediate deletion up to 25 months. Because these settings are configurable, the exact cookies and durations on a live site may vary by implementation.

3) YouTube embeds

Where pages include embedded YouTube videos, YouTube may use cookies or similar technologies in connection with the embedded player. Google provides a privacy-enhanced embed option using youtube-nocookie.com, and we use that where possible.

4) Vimeo embeds

Where pages include embedded Vimeo videos, Vimeo player technologies may be used. Vimeo states that the DNT parameter prevents Vimeo from setting new cookies during that viewing session, but previously stored Vimeo cookies may still be sent by the browser.

5) Base44 embeds and other third-party application content

Where pages include embedded third-party application content, additional cookies, local storage entries or similar technologies may be used depending on the provider and page configuration.

6) Important note

The exact third-party cookies and similar technologies on your site depend on the pages, embeds, configuration and consent settings in use. Wix’s scan is intended to identify both Wix and third-party components and should be used to verify the live implementation before publication.
