Data Protection
This page explains what personal data is involved when you read Rhapsody for a Unicorn, why, for how long and what you can do about it. The short version: very little data is involved, because the magazine is a set of static pages with nothing built in to watch its readers.
Last updated: October 2026.
Who is responsible
The magazine is run by the small editorial team described on The Players’ Desk. For any question about your data, write to inbox@rhapsodyforaunicorn.com. That address is the single point of contact for everything on this page.
Things this magazine leaves out
- It runs no analytics or visitor-statistics software.
- It shows no advertising and loads no advertising networks.
- It uses no tracking pixels, fingerprinting or social media widgets that report back to third parties.
- It has no user accounts, comment system or login.
Your cookie choice
When you first visit, a notice asks whether you accept or decline cookies. Whichever button you press, your answer is stored in your own browser using a feature called local storage, so the notice does not reappear on every page. This value never leaves your device and is not sent to us. Wiping this site’s stored data in your browser deletes it whenever you like. More detail is on Cookies at a Glance.
Hosting and server logs
Like any website, the magazine is delivered by a hosting provider. When your browser requests a page, the provider's servers process technical information such as your IP address, the time of the request, the page requested and the browser type. This is necessary to deliver the page and to protect the service against abuse and errors. The provider keeps these logs for a short period under its own security practices and then deletes them. We do not combine them with other data or use them to profile readers.
We rely on a legitimate interest here: a magazine that loads reliably and is protected against misuse.
When you email us
An email to us naturally reaches us with your address, any name you sign with and the contents of your message. We use this only to read and answer your message, and to follow up on corrections you report. Writing to us never puts you on a list of any kind. The newsletter form on the site does not store anything either: it opens your own email program with a pre-filled message, and only if you send it do we receive your address. Correspondence is deleted once it is no longer needed, normally within twelve months.
Here the basis is simple: you asked us something, and answering is a legitimate interest of ours.
Your rights
If you are in the European Union, the United Kingdom or another place with similar laws, you have the right to:
- ask what data we hold about you and receive a copy;
- have inaccurate data corrected;
- ask us to erase what we hold once we no longer need it;
- have its use paused, or raise an objection to how we handle it;
- get a machine-readable copy to take elsewhere, where the law provides for it;
- lodge a complaint with a data protection regulator, for example the one covering your home country.
Any of these requests can be sent to the inbox named above, and a reply follows within a month at the latest.
Links and age
Here and there an article links out to another website. Once you leave this magazine, the other site's own privacy policy applies. The magazine is written for adults aged 18 and over and is not aimed at children.
Changes
If the way the site works changes, for example if a new feature handles data in a different way, this page will be updated and the date at the top will change. The terms that apply to reading the magazine are in the Reader Agreement.
