Privacy Policy

Who we are

Sensory Sorted is a UK-based website run by Sarah, a parent to neurodivergent children. The site publishes independent product reviews for families of children with autism, ADHD, sensory processing disorder, and other sensory differences.

For the purposes of UK data protection law, the data controller is the individual operator of this website. If you have any questions about how we handle your data, please use the contact details at the bottom of this page.

What information we collect

We collect very limited information. Specifically:

• Usage data via analytics: We may use a privacy-respecting analytics tool (such as Google Analytics or a GDPR-compliant alternative) to understand how visitors use our site — for example, which pages are viewed and where traffic comes from. This data is aggregated and does not identify you personally.
• Cookies: Our site may use cookies to support basic website functionality and analytics. You can disable cookies in your browser settings at any time. See the Cookies section below for more detail.
• Contact enquiries: If you contact us by email, we will hold the information you provide only for as long as necessary to respond to your enquiry.

We do not run a newsletter, create user accounts, or collect any personal data through forms on this website.

Affiliate links and third-party sites

Many links on Sensory Sorted are affiliate links, primarily to Amazon. When you click one of these links and make a purchase, we may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you.

When you click through to a retailer such as Amazon, you leave our site and are subject to that retailer's own privacy policy and terms. We have no control over, and are not responsible for, what data those third parties collect. We encourage you to review their privacy policies before making a purchase.

Amazon's privacy notice can be found at amazon.co.uk.

Cookies

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. We may use the following types of cookies:

• Essential cookies: Required for the website to function correctly.
• Analytics cookies: Help us understand how visitors use the site so we can improve it. These are anonymous and do not identify you personally.

You can manage or disable cookies at any time through your browser settings. Disabling cookies may affect some functionality of the site. For more information about cookies and how to manage them, visit aboutcookies.org.

How we use your information

Any data we collect is used only to:

• Understand how the site is used so we can improve it
• Respond to contact enquiries
• Ensure the website functions correctly

We do not use your data for advertising, profiling, or any commercial purpose beyond running and improving this website. We do not sell, rent, or share your personal data with any third party for marketing purposes.

Legal basis for processing (UK GDPR)

Where we process personal data, we do so on the following legal bases under UK GDPR:

• Legitimate interests: For analytics data that helps us improve the site, where this does not override your rights.
• Consent: For any non-essential cookies, where required.
• Contract / pre-contractual steps: When responding to a contact enquiry you have initiated.

Your rights

Under UK data protection law, you have the following rights:

• The right to access personal data we hold about you
• The right to correction of inaccurate data
• The right to erasure ("right to be forgotten") in certain circumstances
• The right to restrict or object to processing
• The right to data portability

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us using the details below. We will respond within 30 days.

If you are not satisfied with our response, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the UK Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) at ico.org.uk.

Data retention

We retain personal data only for as long as necessary. Contact enquiries are deleted once resolved. Anonymised analytics data may be retained for longer to help us track trends over time.

Children's privacy

This website is intended for parents and carers of children — it is not directed at children themselves. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children under 13.

Changes to this policy

We may update this privacy policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the "last updated" date at the top of the page. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
