Who we are
THE BLACK PAPER is a podcast produced by We Are Griots CIC in partnership with SBM Intelligence. Our website address is theblackpaper.co.uk. For any privacy-related queries, contact us at info@theblackpaper.co.uk.
What data we collect
We collect only the information you voluntarily provide to us through our contact form or newsletter sign-up — your name, email address and any message you choose to send. We do not use tracking cookies, advertising pixels or third-party analytics on this website.
How we use it
Information submitted via the contact form is used solely to respond to your enquiry. Newsletter sign-up information is used only to send you the newsletter you requested. We do not sell, share or transfer your personal data to third parties.
Third-party services
Our podcast is hosted on Buzzsprout and distributed through Spotify and Apple Podcasts. When you press play on this website, the audio streams directly from Buzzsprout, which receives your IP address in order to deliver it. When you listen via those platforms, their own privacy policies apply. We embed no third-party tracking on our own website.
Stored on your device
To let you resume an episode where you left off, the website's audio player saves the episode and playback position in your browser's local storage. This stays on your device, is never sent to us, and you can clear it at any time through your browser settings.
Your rights
Under UK GDPR you have the right to access, correct or delete any personal data we hold about you. To exercise these rights, email info@theblackpaper.co.uk.
