Like most websites, Green Energy Myth relies on technical information necessary to deliver its pages and maintain security.
This may include:
- Internet Protocol (IP) addresses.
- Browser and device information.
- Dates and times of requests.
- Pages requested and technical error information.
- Information used to detect malicious or excessive traffic.
The website is hosted using Hostinger infrastructure.
We process this information where necessary for the legitimate interests of operating, securing and maintaining the website, subject to applicable data protection law.
3. Reader likes
Articles may include a reader Like function.
When you select Like, the website may store a small cookie or similar browser value to remember your choice. The system also uses temporary pseudonymous information to help prevent repeated or automated votes.
These functions are intended to support reader interaction rather than advertising or cross-site tracking.
The Like function does not require visitors to create a public account.
4. Cookies and browser storage
The website may use technical cookies or browser storage for security, WordPress functionality and reader interactions.
Cookies that are strictly necessary to provide a service requested by a visitor may be used without prior consent, subject to applicable rules.
Any non-essential cookies or similar technologies that require consent will be disabled until an appropriate consent mechanism is in place.
5. Analytics and advertising
Green Energy Myth does not currently intend to use third-party advertising trackers or behavioural profiling.
If analytics or advertising services are introduced, this notice will be updated and any required consent obtained.
6. Contacting Green Energy Myth
If you contact Green Energy Myth by email, we may process your email address, name (if provided) and message to respond to your enquiry.
The lawful basis is normally our legitimate interest in receiving and responding to correspondence.
We do not currently operate a public mailing list or newsletter subscription.
7. Comments and user accounts
Public reader registration and article comments are not intended to be available at launch.
If comments or registration are introduced later, this notice will be updated to explain what additional information is collected and how it is used.
8. Fundraising and payments
Green Energy Myth does not currently accept donations, crowdfunding contributions or payments through the website.
No payment-card information is collected by the website.
9. Sharing articles
Articles can be shared using links to external services such as social networks and email applications.
Selecting a sharing option may open a third-party service. That service’s own privacy notice governs its processing of information.
Green Energy Myth does not need to embed third-party social-media tracking scripts to provide ordinary sharing links.
10. Data retention
Personal information is retained only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this notice.
Information may be retained longer where necessary to comply with legal obligations or address security incidents or disputes.
11. Sharing information with service providers
Website information may be processed by Hostinger and other technical providers necessary to operate, secure and maintain the site.
We do not sell visitors’ personal information.
Where providers process personal data outside the UK, appropriate data protection arrangements and international-transfer safeguards must apply.

Depending on the circumstances, you may have rights to:
- Access personal information held about you.
- Request correction of inaccurate information.
- Request deletion or restriction of processing.
- Object to processing based on legitimate interests.
