Cookies
We use only strictly necessary cookies required for the site to function (session management and age-verification status). Under the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR), strictly necessary cookies do not require consent and cannot be disabled. We do not currently use advertising or third-party analytics cookies. If we introduce any non-essential cookies in future, we will request your consent through a cookie banner before they are set, and you may withdraw it at any time. You can also clear or block cookies through your browser settings.

Your Rights
Under UK GDPR you have the right to: be informed; access a copy of your personal data; have inaccurate data rectified; have your data erased; restrict or object to processing; data portability; and to withdraw consent at any time where processing is based on consent. To exercise any of these, contact privacy@thisisglamour.com. We will respond within one month, as required by UK GDPR, and we do not charge a fee in most cases.
Right to Complain
If you are unhappy with how we have handled your personal data, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the UK supervisory authority, the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) — ico.org.uk, helpline 0303 123 1113, or Information Commissioner’s Office, Wycliffe House, Water Lane, Wilmslow, Cheshire, SK9 5AF. We would appreciate the chance to address your concerns directly first.
Automated Decision-Making
We do not use your personal data for automated decision-making that produces legal or similarly significant effects on you, other than automated checks used to verify your age and to detect payment fraud, which are necessary to provide the service and to comply with our legal obligations. Where an automated check results in a decision that affects your access (for example, an age-verification failure or a fraud flag), you have the right to request human review of that decision by contacting support@thisisglamour.com.
Data Security
We use industry-standard encryption (SSL/TLS) for all data in transit. Payment processing is handled by PCI-DSS compliant processors. Access to personal data is restricted to authorised personnel only.

|---|---|---|
| Epoch.com | United States | UK International Data Transfer Agreement (IDTA) |
| RocketGate | United States | UK International Data Transfer Agreement (IDTA) |
