Privacy notice

Who is responsible

Dose Club runs The Dose Club at doseclub.co.uk and is the data controller for any personal data the site processes. The site is a non-profit information project.

What reading the site collects

Nothing from the site itself. The pages are static files. There is no analytics script, no advertising pixel, no embedded social widget and no cookie set by the site.

The hosting provider, Vercel, serves the files and keeps standard server logs of requests, which include IP addresses, for security and traffic management. Those logs are the host's and are kept under the host's own retention policy.

Photographs on the guide pages load from images.unsplash.com. Your browser sends a request to Unsplash for each image, so Unsplash sees your IP address and browser details in the same way as any image host. The Unsplash privacy policy covers that request.

The club sign-up

The club is free email membership for price-drop alerts and a monthly savings email. When the sign-up is live it stores three things: the email address you give, the topics you tick and the date you joined. It uses double opt-in, so nothing is kept until you confirm from your inbox. There is no paid tier and no marketing from pharmacies or clinics.

Every club email carries an unsubscribe link. Unsubscribing deletes your record. The email provider used to send the messages is named on this page when the sign-up goes live, along with where the data is stored.

The calculators

The four calculators on the site run in your browser. The numbers you type are not sent anywhere.

Links to other sites

Price pages link to pharmacies, and guides link to clinics, retailers and the NHS. Once you follow a link you are on that organisation's site and its privacy notice applies. The Dose Club does not pass your details to any of them. Some pharmacy offer links carry a referral tag, which tells the pharmacy which site the visit came from. The tag identifies the link, not you.

Your rights

Under UK data protection law you can ask what personal data an organisation holds about you, ask for it to be corrected or deleted, and complain to the Information Commissioner's Office. For the club, unsubscribing is the quickest way to delete your record.

Changes

This notice changes when the site's data handling changes, for example when the club sign-up goes live. The date at the top of the page is the date of the last change.
