Privacy Policy
Last updated: 7 September 2026
Suitz respects your privacy and is committed to protecting the personal information you share with us. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use and protect personal information when you visit our website, contact us or submit creative work for consideration.
1. Who we are
Suitz is an independent UK publication covering politics, fashion, culture and creative work.
For the purposes of UK data protection law, Suitz is responsible for the personal information described in this policy.
For privacy-related questions or requests, please contact us using the contact details provided on our website.
2. Information we collect
When you submit work to Suitz, we may collect information including:
your name
your email address
the project or creative work you submit
information you provide about yourself or your work
links, social media handles or portfolio details you choose to provide and
correspondence between you and Suitz relating to your submission.
We only ask you to provide information reasonably necessary for us to review, manage and potentially publish your submission.
3. How we use your information
We may use the information you provide to:
receive and review your submission
communicate with you about your work
decide whether your work is suitable for Suitz
discuss editing, credits and publication with you;
publish your work online where agreed;
consider your work for inclusion in a future physical or printed Suitz publication;
correctly credit you as the creator or contributor; and
administer and develop Suitz and its contributor community.
Submitting work does not guarantee that it will be published online or in print.
4. Publication of your work
If Suitz would like to publish your work, we may contact you using the details you have provided.
Where appropriate, we will agree relevant publication details with you before publication, including how you should be credited.
Work submitted for consideration may potentially be selected for a future printed Suitz publication. Where further permission or an agreement is required for print publication, we will contact you before using the work for that purpose.
Submitting work to Suitz does not, by itself, transfer ownership of your copyright to Suitz.
5. Our legal basis for processing your information
Under UK data protection law, we must have a lawful basis for processing personal information.
Depending on the circumstances, we may process information because it is necessary for our legitimate interests in operating an independent publication, reviewing submissions and communicating with potential contributors.
Where another lawful basis is more appropriate, such as consent or taking steps connected with an agreement with you, we will rely on that basis.
6. Who we share information with
We do not sell your personal information.
We may use trusted service providers to operate Suitz, including our website and hosting providers and other technology services necessary to receive and manage submissions.
These providers may process limited personal information on our behalf when necessary to provide their services.
Where your work is published, information intended to identify or credit you — such as your name — may become publicly available as part of the publication.
7. How long we keep your information
We will only retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy, including reviewing submissions, maintaining appropriate publication records and complying with legal obligations.
Where we no longer need personal information, we will delete or anonymise it where appropriate.
8. Your rights
Under UK data protection law, you may have rights in relation to your personal information, including the right to:
request access to personal information we hold about you;
ask us to correct inaccurate information;
ask us to delete your personal information in certain circumstances;
ask us to restrict how we use your information;
object to certain uses of your information;
request the transfer of certain information; and
withdraw consent where we rely on consent.
These rights are subject to certain legal exceptions.
To exercise a privacy right, please contact Suitz using the contact details provided on our website.
9. Your creative work and copyright
This Privacy Policy deals primarily with personal information and does not replace any separate contributor or publication terms that may apply to creative work.
Unless otherwise agreed, creators retain ownership of the copyright in their original work.
Where Suitz wishes to publish, reproduce, edit or otherwise use submitted work, the applicable permissions and publication terms may be agreed separately with the contributor.
10. Security
We take reasonable steps to protect personal information against loss, misuse, unauthorised access, alteration or disclosure.
However, no online system can guarantee complete security.
11. Third-party services
Our website may be operated using third-party services, including Squarespace.
These providers may process certain information according to their own privacy practices and applicable data protection requirements.
Our website may also contain links to third-party websites. Suitz is not responsible for the privacy practices of those websites.
12. Cookies
Our website may use essential cookies required for the website to function and, depending on our website settings, analytics or other optional cookies.
Where required, visitors will be given appropriate choices regarding non-essential cookies.
More information may be provided through our website's cookie settings or cookie notice.
13. Complaints
If you have concerns about how Suitz handles your personal information, please contact us first so that we can try to resolve the issue.
You may also have the right to make a complaint to the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO), the UK's data protection regulator.
14. Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy as Suitz develops.
Any updated version will be published on our website with a revised "Last updated" date.
