Story submissions and suggested content
If you submit a story, link, post, article, social media post, or other suggestion, we may review it for possible inclusion on The Neuro Digest.
Submitting something does not guarantee that it will be published.
If we want to publish a personal story or include identifiable personal information, we will take reasonable steps to avoid publishing personal details without appropriate permission.
Please do not submit personal information about someone else unless you have their permission to do so.

When contacting us about a privacy request, please provide enough information for us to understand and respond to your request. We may need to ask for additional information if we cannot identify the relevant message or submission.
Cookies and analytics
The Neuro Digest may use cookies and similar technologies to make the website work properly and to understand how visitors use the site.
We use Google Analytics and/or Google Site Kit to help us understand website traffic and usage. Google may process information about your device, browser, website activity and approximate location.
Analytics cookies are not essential for the website to work. Where required, we will ask for your consent before using non-essential cookies.
You can accept, reject or manage cookies through the cookie banner or settings shown on the website.
You can also control cookies through your browser settings.
Who we share your information with
We do not sell your personal information.
We may share limited information with trusted service providers who help us operate the website, such as:
- website hosting providers;
- website analytics providers, such as Google Analytics;
- WordPress plugins or form tools used to manage submissions;
- email providers, if you receive a response from us;
- security, anti-spam or website maintenance tools.
These providers may process information on our behalf or as separate controllers, depending on the service.
How long we keep your information
We only keep personal information for as long as necessary.
As a general guide:
- contact form messages and submissions may be kept for as long as needed to review, respond to, or manage the submission;
- correction, privacy or deletion requests may be kept for a reasonable period so we have a record of how the request was handled;
- analytics data may be retained according to the settings in Google Analytics or related tools;
- information may be kept longer if required for legal, security or record-keeping reasons.
If you want us to delete a message or submission you sent, please contact us using the submission/contact form on the website.
How we protect your information
We take reasonable steps to protect personal information from loss, misuse, unauthorised access, disclosure or alteration.
However, no website or internet transmission is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Under UK data protection law, you may have rights over your personal information, including the right to:
- ask what personal information we hold about you;
- ask us to correct inaccurate information;
- ask us to delete your information;
