Who We Are
Proud Boys UK operates this website at https://proudboys.uk. We are committed to defending British heritage, the Crown, and traditional values—and we’re equally committed to protecting the privacy of our fellow patriots who visit this site.
This privacy policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and what rights you have over your data. We believe in transparency, even in the digital realm.
What Data We Collect and Why
Comments and Engagement
When you leave comments on our site, we collect the information you provide in the comment form, plus your IP address and browser user agent string. This helps us identify and prevent spam from disrupting our community discussions.
An anonymized string created from your email address (called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to display your profile picture. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available at https://automattic.com/privacy/. Once your comment is approved, your profile picture becomes visible to the public alongside your comment.
We value robust discussion among patriots, but we also need to protect our platform from those who would seek to disrupt it.
Media and Images
If you upload images to our website, be aware that you should avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) included. Any visitor to the website can download and extract location data from images you upload.
Important security note: For your personal safety and operational security, we strongly recommend removing all metadata from images before uploading them to any website, including ours.
Cookies and Tracking
We use cookies to improve your experience on our site. Here’s what you need to know:
Comment Cookies: If you leave a comment, you may opt-in to save your name, email address, and website in cookies. This saves you time when leaving future comments. These cookies last for one year.
Login Cookies: If you visit our login page, we set a temporary cookie to check if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is deleted when you close your browser.
When you log in, we set several cookies to save your login information and display preferences. Login cookies last for two days, and screen options cookies last for a year. If you select “Remember Me,” your login persists for two weeks. Logging out removes the login cookies.
Editing Cookies: If you edit or publish content, an additional cookie is saved in your browser. This cookie includes no personal data and simply indicates the post ID of the article you edited. It expires after one day.
Embedded Content from Other Websites
Articles on this site may include embedded content (videos, images, articles, etc.) from other websites. Embedded content behaves exactly as if you had visited that other website directly.
These third-party websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional tracking, and monitor your interaction with that content—including tracking your interaction if you have an account with that website and are logged in.
We embed content to enhance our articles and provide context, but we cannot control how third-party sites handle your data.
Who We Share Your Data With
We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information to third parties. Your privacy is paramount.
If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email for security purposes.
We may share data with service providers who assist in operating our website, conducting our mission, or serving our community—provided those parties agree to keep this information confidential.
How Long We Retain Your Data
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This allows us to recognize and approve follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
For users who register on our website, we store the personal information provided in user profiles. All users can view, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except usernames, which cannot be changed). Website administrators can also view and edit that information.
What Rights You Have Over Your Data
You have complete control over your personal data:
- Access: If you have an account or have left comments, you can request an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you’ve provided.
- Erasure: You can request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
- Rectification: You can update or correct your personal information at any time through your user profile.
- Objection: You can object to our processing of your personal data under certain circumstances.
To exercise any of these rights, please contact us using the information provided below.
Where Your Data is Sent
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service to protect our community from malicious actors and disruption.
Your data is stored on secure servers. We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your personal information against unauthorized or unlawful processing, accidental loss, destruction, or damage.
Data Security
We take the security of your data seriously. We use industry-standard security measures to protect the information you provide. However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
