This policy governs coatreach.com. Coatreach’s subject is Coatreach; this page is about the information involved in publishing it and reading it.

How the Data Is Applied

Purposes are limited to running and improving coatreach.com, measuring traffic in aggregate, delivering email that has been opted into, and supporting any advertising displayed on the site.

Retention & Security

We do not keep data indefinitely. Analytics expires per the provider’s policy, newsletter data ends when you unsubscribe, comment data ends when the comment goes. Security measures are proportionate: limited access, encrypted connections, and prompt removal of anything not needed. Absolute security is not something any site can promise.

What This Site Records

When you read coatreach.com, our host and any analytics provider we use may log technical details of the request — IP address, user agent, referring URL, pages and timestamps. Separately, you may choose to give us an email address, post a comment, or write to us, and that information is collected too. Given what we write about, this is worth being explicit about: we ask readers not to send us sensitive personal details, and we delete rather than retain anything of that kind that reaches us unprompted.

Exercising Your Rights

You can ask us what we hold about you, ask us to fix it, ask us to delete it, ask for a portable copy, or object to how it is used. You can also opt out of any sale or sharing of your data for advertising purposes. These rights arise under the GDPR (UK and EU) and under CCPA/CPRA and other US state privacy laws. We recognise Global Privacy Control. See also Do Not Sell or Share and the State Privacy Notice.

Children

The content and the site are for adults. Children under 13, or under 16 depending on jurisdiction, are not the intended audience, and we do not knowingly collect data from them. Discovering that we had would prompt deletion.

About Cookies

• Browser storage is dealt with in full by the Cookie Policy, including how to refuse it.

• Where advertising is served, third-party vendors including Google may use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites. Google’s use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to this site and/or other sites on the internet. You may opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings, or opt out of a third-party vendor’s use of cookies for personalised advertising at www.aboutads.info.

Who Else Is Involved

Providers in the chain include the host that serves coatreach.com, any analytics tool we run, the mailing platform, and ad networks where advertising appears. Where those parties set their own purposes they are independent controllers, and you should read their notices as well as this one.

Subscribing and Unsubscribing

The list is confirmed opt-in only. You will get a verification email before anything else, every subsequent message has an unsubscribe link and our postal address, and removal is processed immediately.

Reaching Us

If any of this needs clarifying, or you want to make a request, email hello@coatreach.com.
