Last updated: 16 August 2026

CyberPrepHub respects your privacy and aims to be transparent about how information is collected and used when you visit this website.

This Privacy & Cookie Policy explains what information may be processed, why it is processed, the third-party services used by CyberPrepHub, and the choices and rights available to you.

1. About CyberPrepHub

CyberPrepHub is an independent educational website providing cybersecurity learning materials, study resources and related content.

CyberPrepHub is operated from the United Kingdom.

If you have a question about this Privacy & Cookie Policy, wish to exercise a data-protection right, or have another privacy-related enquiry, please use the **Contact** page on this website and select **Privacy or data protection enquiry**.

2. Information processed when you visit CyberPrepHub

You can browse CyberPrepHub without creating an account or directly providing personal information.

However, some technical information may be processed automatically when you access the website or when third-party services used by the website are loaded.

This may include information such as:

* your IP address;
* browser and device information;
* operating system information;
* pages or resources requested;
* approximate geographic location derived from your IP address;
* date and time of requests;
* cookie or advertising identifiers; and
* information relating to interactions with advertisements.

The exact information processed depends on the services used, your browser configuration, your location and the consent choices you make.

3. Website hosting

CyberPrepHub is hosted using **GitHub Pages**, a service provided by GitHub.

GitHub provides the infrastructure used to make the website available over the internet and may process technical information necessary to deliver, operate and protect its services.

Information processed independently by GitHub is subject to GitHub's own privacy practices and terms.

CyberPrepHub is served over HTTPS to help protect information transmitted between your browser and the website.

4. Google AdSense and advertising

CyberPrepHub uses **Google AdSense**, a service provided by Google, to display advertising.

Google and other third-party advertising providers may use cookies, web beacons, IP addresses and other identifiers when advertisements are served or advertising services are loaded on this website.

These technologies may be used for purposes including:

* delivering advertisements;
* measuring advertising performance;
* preventing fraud and abuse;
* limiting how often advertisements are displayed;
* understanding interactions with advertisements; and
* where permitted and appropriate consent has been obtained, personalising advertisements.

Third-party vendors, including Google, may use cookies to serve advertisements based on a visitor's previous visits to CyberPrepHub or other websites.

Google's use of advertising cookies may enable Google and its advertising partners to serve advertisements based on visits to CyberPrepHub and/or other websites.

Depending on your location and the choices you make through the consent system, advertisements may be personalised or non-personalised.

Users can manage personalised advertising through Google's advertising settings.

5. Consent management

Where required by applicable privacy and electronic communications laws, CyberPrepHub uses Google's consent-management system to obtain and record choices concerning advertising cookies and similar technologies.

Visitors in relevant jurisdictions, including the United Kingdom, European Economic Area and Switzerland, may be presented with a consent message allowing them to make choices about the use of their information for advertising purposes.

Depending on the options presented, you may be able to:

* consent to eligible processing;
* reject eligible processing; or
* manage individual privacy preferences.

Where consent is legally required, non-essential advertising technologies should be used in accordance with the choices you make.

You may be able to change or withdraw your consent choices subsequently.

6. Cookies and similar technologies

Cookies are small pieces of information that websites and online services can store on a visitor's device.

CyberPrepHub and third-party services used by CyberPrepHub may use cookies and similar technologies.

Advertising cookies

Google AdSense and participating advertising providers may use cookies or similar technologies to deliver and measure advertisements.

Personalised advertising

Where permitted and where any required consent has been obtained, advertising providers may use information about browsing activity, advertising interactions or interests to provide more relevant advertisements.

Security and operation

Some technologies may also be used to protect services, prevent fraud or abuse, and ensure that website and third-party services operate correctly.

You can also configure your browser to block or delete cookies. Blocking some technologies may affect the operation of certain website features or third-party services.

7. Contact form

CyberPrepHub provides a contact form that visitors can use to send enquiries.

When you submit the contact form, you may provide:

* your name;
* your email address;
* the subject of your enquiry; and
* the contents of your message.

This information is used to receive, review and respond to your enquiry and, where reasonably necessary, to maintain appropriate records or protect the contact facility against misuse.

The contact form is processed using **Formspree**, a third-party form-processing service.

Information submitted using the form is transmitted to Formspree and stored within the CyberPrepHub Formspree account. Form submissions may also be delivered to a private email account used by the operator of CyberPrepHub.

Information submitted through the contact form is not used by CyberPrepHub for marketing purposes unless you have separately and explicitly agreed to receive marketing communications.

Please do not submit passwords, payment-card information, medical information or other highly sensitive information through the contact form.

8. Legal bases for processing

Where CyberPrepHub is responsible for processing personal information, the appropriate legal basis depends on why the information is being used.

The relevant legal bases may include:

Legitimate interests

Information submitted through the contact form may be processed where reasonably necessary for the legitimate interests of communicating with visitors, responding to enquiries, maintaining appropriate records and protecting the website against misuse.

Technical information may also be processed where reasonably necessary to operate and secure the website.

Consent

Where consent is required for advertising cookies, personalised advertising or similar technologies, processing may rely on the consent choices you make through the website's consent-management system.

Where processing relies on consent, you can withdraw that consent.

Legal obligations

Information may be processed where necessary to comply with applicable legal obligations.

9. Third-party services

CyberPrepHub uses or links to services provided by third parties.

Google

Google provides advertising and consent-management services used by CyberPrepHub.

Google may process information including IP addresses, cookies, device information, advertising identifiers and information about interactions with advertisements.

Google is responsible for its own processing activities where it acts independently.

Formspree

LinkedIn

CyberPrepHub may contain links to LinkedIn.

If you follow a link to LinkedIn, any subsequent information processed through LinkedIn is subject to LinkedIn's own privacy practices.

CyberPrepHub does not control the privacy practices of independent third-party websites and services.

10. International processing

Some third-party providers used by CyberPrepHub operate internationally.

As a result, information processed by services such as Google, GitHub or Formspree may be processed in countries outside the United Kingdom.

Where international transfers of personal information are subject to data-protection requirements, the relevant organisations are responsible for using appropriate transfer mechanisms and safeguards where required.

11. How long information is retained

CyberPrepHub aims not to keep personal information for longer than reasonably necessary.

Contact-form correspondence may be retained for as long as reasonably necessary to:

* respond to the enquiry;
* deal with any subsequent correspondence;
* maintain reasonable administrative records;
* resolve disputes; or
* comply with applicable legal requirements.

Contact-form submissions may also remain stored within Formspree until they are deleted or according to Formspree's applicable retention arrangements.

Information processed independently by Google, GitHub, Formspree and other third-party providers is retained according to their respective policies and practices.

12. Your data-protection rights

Depending on the circumstances and applicable law, you may have rights concerning your personal information.

These may include the right to:

* request access to personal information held about you;
* request correction of inaccurate or incomplete information;
* request deletion of personal information in certain circumstances;
* request restriction of processing;
* object to certain processing;
* request transfer of information where applicable; and
* withdraw consent where processing is based on consent.

These rights are not absolute and their availability depends on the circumstances and applicable law.

Requests relating to information independently controlled by Google, GitHub, Formspree, LinkedIn or another third-party provider may need to be made directly to that provider.

13. Complaints

If you are in the United Kingdom and are concerned about how your personal information has been handled, you have the right to raise a concern with the **Information Commissioner's Office (ICO)**, the UK's data-protection regulator.

If your concern relates directly to CyberPrepHub, you are welcome to contact CyberPrepHub first using the Contact page so that the issue can be reviewed.

14. External links

CyberPrepHub may contain links to external websites.

CyberPrepHub is not responsible for the privacy practices, security or content of third-party websites.

When you follow a link to another website, you should review that website's own privacy information if you want to understand how it handles personal information.
