This policy explains what personal data howtocookgammon.com collects, why, and what your rights are. It applies to visitors in the UK, and it's written to meet UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018.

What we collect
When you just read the site. Our hosting provider, Cloudflare, processes technical information such as your IP address, browser type and the pages you request. This is needed to deliver the site and protect it from attack, and it's kept only for a short time.
Your cookie choice. We save your answer to the cookie banner in your browser's local storage (htcg-consent). It stays on your device. There are no advertising or analytics cookies on the site yet. See our cookie policy.
If you email us or use the contact form. We keep your name, email address and message so we can reply. Messages sent through the form are stored by our form service and passed to us by email through SendGrid; the form service also notes your IP address for a short time to block spam. We don't add you to any mailing list.
We don't sell your personal data.
Advertising
We plan to show adverts through Google AdSense. When we do, Google and its partners will use cookies to serve adverts based on your previous visits to this and other websites. You can turn off personalised advertising in Google's Ads Settings, and you can read how Google uses data from sites like ours at policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites. Google will ask for your consent before it uses advertising cookies. If you don't agree, you may still see adverts that aren't personalised.
Our lawful basis
Delivering and securing the site: our legitimate interests. Advertising and analytics cookies: your consent, which you can withdraw at any time. Replying to emails: our legitimate interest in answering you.
How long we keep it
Emails are kept for up to two years and then deleted. Cookie lifetimes are listed in the cookie policy. Data held by Google and Cloudflare is kept according to their own policies.
International transfers
Google and Cloudflare may process data outside the UK. They do this under the safeguards UK law requires, such as the UK International Data Transfer Addendum or the UK–US data bridge.
Your rights
You have the right to access your data, to correct it, to have it deleted, to object to or restrict how we use it, and to withdraw consent. To use any of these rights, email john@geater.co.uk. If you're unhappy with how we've handled your data, you can complain to the Information Commissioner's Office at ico.org.uk.
