Privacy policy

Last updated: 1 January 2026

Who we are

Choices Quirky Squar Ltd operates choicesquirkysquar.com as an independent editorial resource about European railway heritage. Our registered address is 18 Platform Yard, York, YO1 6GA, United Kingdom. Privacy enquiries can be sent to [email protected].

Information collected

We collect information that you choose to provide through the contact form, including your name, email address, railway topic, region of interest, preferred travel period and message. We may also receive basic technical information supplied by your browser or hosting provider, such as an IP address, device type and request time, where necessary for security and site delivery.

How information is used

Contact information is used to read and respond to enquiries, maintain correspondence and protect the website from misuse. We do not sell contact information. The contact form in this static implementation does not transmit messages to a backend; successful submission is displayed locally in the browser. If a future service changes this arrangement, this policy should be updated before that service is introduced.

Cookies

The site uses local storage to remember the cookie-choice control. It does not install analytics, advertising or social-media tracking in this implementation. The preference is functional to the consent interface. You can remove stored data through your browser settings.

Retention and security

Because the current form has no backend, form values are not stored by this website after the page is closed. If you contact us by email, the message may remain in our mailbox for as long as needed to answer the enquiry and maintain reasonable business records. We use ordinary administrative and technical safeguards, but no internet transmission can be guaranteed completely secure.

Your rights

Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, restrict or object to processing, and to request a copy of information held about you. Under GDPR, you may complain to a supervisory authority. Under applicable CCPA/CPRA rules, California residents may request disclosure, deletion and correction and may exercise applicable opt-out rights. We do not sell or share personal information for cross-context behavioural advertising.

To make a request, email [email protected] with enough detail to identify the request. We may need to verify identity. We aim to respond within the period required by applicable law. This policy may change when the website or legal requirements change.
