Privacy Policy
At Babel Moon, we believe the space economy is entering its most exciting phase. Our mission is to explore it clearly and share it widely — and we only collect information that helps us do that responsibly.
We value your trust. This policy explains what we collect, how we use it, and how you stay in control.
Who we are
Babel Moon is an independent news platform based in the United Kingdom.
You can get in touch with us at anytime.
What we collect
Email address to send you our newsletter or updates.
Optional details you choose to share with us, such as your name or organisation.
Site analytics: how you interact with our site and content (via trusted tools like Google Analytics or similar services).
Babel Moon is aimed at readers aged 16 and over. We don’t knowingly collect personal data from children.
In the future, if you register for events, memberships, or other services, we may ask for additional details. We’ll always be clear about what we’re collecting and why.
How we use your information
To send you news, analysis, and updates from Babel Moon.
To understand what resonates with readers and improve our content.
To invite you to surveys, polls, or new projects.
To maintain the security and smooth running of our systems.
We don’t send spam, and we don’t use your information in ways we wouldn’t accept ourselves.
Our legal basis for using your data
We only collect and use your personal data when we have a valid reason to do so under UK and EU data laws. This means:
Consent: when you sign up for newsletters or updates, you are giving us permission to use your email address for that purpose.
Legitimate interest: we may analyse site use to improve the experience for readers.
Contract: if you sign up for paid services in the future, we may need your information to provide them.
You can withdraw your consent at any time by unsubscribing or contacting us.
What we don’t do
We never sell, rent, or trade your personal data.
We don’t target you with invasive ads or unnecessary tracking.
We don’t clutter your inbox with irrelevant messages.
If we work with trusted partners (such as sponsors, event organisers, or service providers), this will be made clear, and you’ll always remain in control of your data.
Cookies and tracking
We use cookies and analytics to see how people use Babel Moon and to improve your experience.
You can disable cookies in your browser at any time. Some parts of the site may not work as expected, but you’ll always be welcome here.
Third-party services
Babel Moon uses Squarespace to host and manage this website. Squarespace may process personal data (such as site traffic or subscription information) on our behalf. We also use other services like Google Analytics or email providers to understand how people use our site and to send newsletters. If you interact with embedded content (such as YouTube videos or social media links), their own privacy policies will apply.
International transfers
Our website is hosted and managed using Squarespace. This means your data may be transferred outside the UK or EEA (for example, to the United States). When Squarespace or other providers do this, they rely on safeguards recognised under UK and EU data protection law — such as the EU–US Data Privacy Framework or Standard Contractual Clauses — to protect your information.
Your rights
If you are in the UK, the EU, or any jurisdiction with data protection laws, you have the right to:
Request access to the data we hold about you.
Ask us to correct or delete it.
Withdraw your consent or unsubscribe from communications at any time.
To exercise these rights or if you’re not happy with how we handle your data, contact us and we will respond promptly and transparently. You also have the right to complain to the UK Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO).
How long we keep your data
We keep your email address until you unsubscribe or ask us to delete it. Analytics data is kept only as long as needed to understand site use and improve content, then aggregated or deleted.
Data security
We use reliable tools, established practices, and sensible safeguards to keep your data safe.
No system is flawless, but if a security issue ever arises, we will act quickly and let you know.
Changes to this policy
If we make significant changes, we’ll update this page and notify you by email (if you’re subscribed).
