NuGlasgow is a personal, non-commercial project providing hyperlocal news coverage of Glasgow's urban development, planning applications, and regeneration projects. The site is operated by an individual based in the United Kingdom.
NuGlasgow is mostly a read-only website. We do not:
The exceptions are the “Spotted something wrong?” correction form on a site’s map panel, and the Support button, both covered in full below.
Donations are taken by Stripe inside the Support panel. Your card or bank details go to Stripe and never to us. Stripe keeps the payer record (name, email, payment method) under its own privacy policy and sends the receipt. We store only the amount, whether it is one-off or monthly, a Stripe reference, and the page you were on — no name, no email — and only the editor can see that. Monthly support can be cancelled from the link in any Stripe receipt.
There is no cookie banner because there is nothing to consent to. The site stores a few small things in your browser, none of which identifies you:
If we ever add something that tracks visitors we will ask first.
The round button in the bottom corner lets you suggest a feature or report a bug. It is anonymous — it asks for no name or email, so please don’t put personal details in the text. What you write, and a screenshot if you choose to add one, is filed in our private issue tracker on GitHub (GitHub, Inc.), which processes it on our behalf. If you tick the box to include technical details, your browser type, screen size, the page address and recent browser console messages are sent too, with anything that looks like an email address or a login token blanked out first. Screenshots are deleted from our storage after 30 days.
If you tell us something on the map is wrong, the form asks for your name and email address alongside what’s wrong and any detail you add. This is the only place on NuGlasgow that collects personal data.
Why we collect it: so an editor can follow up with you — to ask a clarifying question, or to let you know what we changed.
Lawful basis: your consent, given by ticking the checkbox before you submit the form, and our legitimate interest in correcting factual errors in what we publish.
Retention: once an editor has reviewed your report, we keep your name and email for 12 months in case we need to follow up, then remove them — the correction itself (what was wrong, and what we did about it) is kept for the record, but no longer linked to you.
Deletion on request: you can ask us to delete your name and email at any time, sooner than the 12 months above, by emailing hello@nuglasgow.site.
We do not use your name or email for anything other than following up on the correction you reported — no mailing lists, no marketing.
We use Vercel Analytics to understand how visitors use our site. This service collects anonymous, aggregated data such as page views and visitor counts. Vercel Analytics does not use cookies and does not collect personally identifiable information. You can learn more about Vercel's privacy practices at vercel.com/docs/analytics/privacy-policy.
We also run our own, first-party visit counter. It doesn't use cookies, and it doesn't store your IP address or details about your browser. Each visit is counted with a key that changes every day, so the same visitor can't be linked across different days. Once a week your browser also tells the counter one yes-or-no: “have I been here in an earlier week?” That answer carries no identifier, so it lets us count how many visitors come back without being able to tell who. Location is read down to city level from headers our hosting provider attaches to the request — not GPS or any precise location. We also check whether a visit comes from one of the networks registered to Glasgow City Council, and keep only that yes-or-no, never the address itself. We keep the raw visit records for 90 days; after that, only combined daily totals remain. When an editor is signed in, their own visits aren't counted.
All planning information published on NuGlasgow is sourced from official government publications, including:
We do not scrape or republish content from private news organisations.
Articles on NuGlasgow are produced with the assistance of artificial intelligence. AI is used to analyse planning documents and draft articles, which are then reviewed by a human editor before publication. We maintain full audit trails of AI outputs for editorial transparency.
While we strive for accuracy, NuGlasgow is provided for informational purposes only. We make no warranties about the completeness, reliability, or accuracy of the information published. For official planning information, please consult Glasgow City Council directly.
Content on NuGlasgow does not constitute legal, planning, architectural, or any other professional advice. If you need professional guidance on planning matters, please consult a qualified professional.
Our site may contain links to external websites. We are not responsible for the content or privacy practices of those sites.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, NuGlasgow and its operator shall not be liable for any damages arising from your use of, or inability to use, this website or its content.
Under UK data protection law, you have rights regarding your personal data, including the right to ask what we hold about you and to have it deleted. If you have used the correction form, this applies to your name and email — see “The correction form” above for how to ask. We do not collect personal data anywhere else on the site.
We may update this policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated revision date.
This notice covers all of nuglasgow.online: the map, the articles, and the correction form. For anything not covered here, or any question about your data, email hello@nuglasgow.site.
