Privacy notice
LEGAL REVIEW NEEDED: draft text, not yet reviewed by a solicitor. Do not publish until Marc signs it off.
What this notice covers
This is a draft. It describes how the site is built today and what it will hold once the optional email list is switched on.
What we collect today
- Nothing about you by default. The site sets no cookies, runs no analytics and has no sign-up form until the sections below say otherwise.
- Our web host keeps ordinary server logs (your IP address, the page asked for, the time) for security and fault-finding. We do not use them to identify visitors.
Analytics
No analytics run unless this page says so. If we switch on a cookie-free, privacy-focused counter, it will count page views without cookies or fingerprinting, and this page and the cookie notice will name the tool before it goes live.
Email list (not yet live)
If you sign up for El Niño alerts and checklists we will hold your email address and the date you asked. We use it only to send what you signed up for. Every message has an unsubscribe link. Unsubscribing stops all sending at once; we delete your sign-up record within 30 days if you ask, and the email tool may keep a suppression entry (the address only) so a removed address is not added again. The email tool is not chosen yet; this page will name it, and where it stores data, before the form appears.
Lawful basis: your consent (UK GDPR Article 6(1)(a)). You can withdraw it at any time.
Affiliate links
Some links earn us a commission. Clicking one takes you to the retailer, which has its own privacy policy. We do not pass your details to the retailer.
Your rights
Under UK GDPR you can ask to see, correct or delete data we hold about you, and object to its use. You can also complain to the Information Commissioner's Office at ico.org.uk. US visitors: we apply the same rights on request.
Contact
Write to the address on the corrections page and say "privacy" in the subject line. A dedicated data-protection contact will replace this once the domain is set.
