PRIVACY POLICY

We collect very little, we do not sell personal data, and you can ask us to delete what we hold. This page explains the details in plain language.

What we collect

If you send a message through the contact form, we receive the name, email address and message you type. If you subscribe to a newsletter, we store the email address you provide. Our server may record standard technical information such as the pages requested and the time of the request for security and performance monitoring.

How we use it

Contact messages are used only to answer your question. Newsletter addresses are used only to send the newsletter you requested. Technical logs are used to keep the site available and secure. We do not use your data for behavioural advertising or sell it to data brokers.

Cookies and analytics

The site may use a small number of cookies for basic functionality, such as remembering a newsletter preference. If we use analytics, we prefer aggregated data that does not identify individuals. You can block cookies in your browser; the guides remain readable.

Data sharing

We may use service providers for hosting, email delivery and security. Those providers process data on our behalf and are expected to protect it. We may disclose information if required by law or to protect the rights and safety of our readers and staff.

Retention

We keep contact messages only as long as needed to resolve the query. Newsletter addresses are kept until you unsubscribe or ask for deletion. Server logs are retained for a limited period and then deleted or aggregated.
