Privacy Policy

Effective date: [DATE]

[COMPANY OR OWNER NAME] (“we”, “us”) operates this website. This policy explains
what personal information we collect, why we collect it, and the rights you have
over it. If you have any questions, contact us at [CONTACT EMAIL].

Who is responsible for your data

The data controller for this site is [COMPANY OR OWNER NAME], based in
[JURISDICTION OR POSTAL ADDRESS]. You can reach us about anything in this policy
at [CONTACT EMAIL].

What we collect and why

When you subscribe or contact us. If you submit a form on this site (for
example a newsletter signup or a contact form), we collect the information you
enter, such as your email address and name, along with any other fields that form
asks for. We use it only for the purpose the form is for: to send you the emails
you asked for, or to reply to your message. The legal basis is your consent, which
you can withdraw at any time.

Site analytics. We measure how the site is used so we can improve it. This is
cookieless by default and does not track you across other websites. The legal
basis is our legitimate interest in understanding and improving the site.

How your information is protected

This site is built and hosted with a design where the people running the servers
cannot read the personal information you submit:

  • Encrypted the moment it is received. Your email, name, and any other form
    fields are encrypted to this site’s own key as soon as they reach the server,
    and stored only as encrypted data.
  • The host cannot read it. The server holds only the public half of the key.
    The private key needed to read your information stays on the site owner’s own
    machine, not on the host.
  • Unrecognised fields are protected too. Any extra field a form collects is
    treated as personal information and encrypted, never stored in the clear.
  • Confirmation links are not stored in a readable form. When we email you a
    confirmation link, we keep only a one-way fingerprint of it, never the link
    itself.

Some non-identifying operational data is kept in readable form so the site can
function: which form or campaign a submission came from, its status, a spam-risk
score, and timestamps.

When you opt in through a form, we record the exact wording you agreed to, the
version of this policy in force at the time, and the date, along with the network
address and browser you used. We keep this so both you and we have a clear, honest
record of what you consented to.

How long we keep your information

We keep your information until you ask us to delete it, or until it is no longer
needed for the purpose you gave it for. We do not set an arbitrary expiry date.
When you unsubscribe or ask for deletion, we remove your data and that removal
propagates to any backup copies.

Who we share it with

We do not sell or share your personal information for advertising. The company
that operates the hosting for this site acts only as a processor and, by the
encrypted design described above, cannot read your personal information. We share
data with others only where we are legally required to.

Your rights

Wherever you live, you can ask us to:

  • tell you what personal information we hold about you, and give you a copy,
  • correct anything that is wrong,
  • delete it,
  • provide it in a portable form, to you or to someone you nominate,
  • stop or limit how we use it, and
  • withdraw your consent at any time (unsubscribing does this for our emails).

We honour these requests for everyone, not only for people whose local law
requires it: one standard is simpler to operate and fairer than several. We do not
sell or share your personal information for advertising, and we will never treat
you differently for exercising any of these rights.

To make a request, email us at [CONTACT EMAIL]. We will reply within 30 days, or
sooner where your local law requires it. If our response does not satisfy you, you
can complain to the data protection or privacy authority for your country or
region.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. When we do, we will change the
effective date above. Significant changes will be communicated where appropriate.
