GrandpaSpy respects your privacy. This policy explains what information may be collected when you use the GrandpaSpy website, why it may be collected and how it is handled.

Who we are

GrandpaSpy is the online home of David “D” Bickford and Beau Bickford, featuring conversations, videos and other content about intelligence, espionage, history, security and related subjects.

For privacy enquiries, contact pj@coinkydink.co.uk.

Information we may collect

We may collect information that you choose to provide to us, including your name, email address and information submitted through contact forms, mailing-list registrations, competitions, games or other interactive features.

The website may also collect limited technical information automatically, such as your IP address, browser type, device type, pages visited and information about how the website is used.

How we use your information

Information may be used to operate and improve the GrandpaSpy website, respond to enquiries, provide features you have requested, understand how visitors use the site, maintain security and, where you have specifically agreed, send communications from GrandpaSpy.

We will not sell your personal information.

Joining the Network

If you choose to Join the Network, we may ask for information such as your name and email address in order to create or administer your participation and provide access to relevant GrandpaSpy content, games, training activities or communications.

We will make clear at the point of registration what information is required and how it will be used.

You can unsubscribe from marketing communications at any time.

Cookies and analytics

The website may use cookies and similar technologies necessary for the operation, security and performance of the site. We may also use analytics services to understand how visitors use GrandpaSpy.

Where consent is legally required for non-essential cookies, those cookies will only be used after the appropriate consent has been obtained.

External platforms

GrandpaSpy links to external services including social-media platforms such as Instagram, TikTok and YouTube. Those services operate under their own privacy policies and GrandpaSpy is not responsible for how third-party websites process your information.

How long we keep information

Personal information will only be retained for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, or where we are required to retain it by law.

Your rights

Depending on applicable data-protection law, you may have rights concerning your personal information, including rights to request access, correction or deletion of your information, to object to or restrict certain processing, and to withdraw consent where processing is based on consent.

To make a privacy request, contact pj@coinkydink.co.uk.

Children and young people

Because GrandpaSpy content may appeal to younger audiences, we take the privacy of children and young people seriously.

We do not knowingly use the website to collect personal information from children where parental or guardian consent is legally required without obtaining the appropriate consent. Interactive features intended for younger users should be designed to minimise the personal information collected.

Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy when the website, its features or applicable legal requirements change. The latest version will always be published on this page.
