What data we collect
- Technical data automatically received by our hosting provider when you visit (IP address, browser type, pages requested, timestamps) — used to operate and secure the site.
- Theme preference stored in your browser via
localStorage(gag-theme) if you choose dark mode — stays on your device and is not sent to us. - Emails you send us if you contact [email protected] (corrections, privacy requests) — used only to respond.
We do not run advertising cookies, Google Analytics, Hotjar, or similar trackers on this site.
Third-party services
- Fonts — we self-host the Atkinson Hyperlegible Next typeface (Open Font Licence) from our own
/fonts/directory. Your browser does not contact Google Fonts to load this site. - Outbound donation links — links to World Animal Rescue Network take you to their website, which has its own privacy policy.
- Hosting / CDN — our hosting provider processes connection logs as a processor to deliver the site.
Lawful bases
We rely on legitimate interests (running a secure informational website, responding to correspondence) and, where you email us, steps necessary to take action at your request. We do not sell personal data.
Retention
Server logs are retained only as long as needed for security and operations (typically short periods set by the host). Emails are kept only as long as needed to resolve your request, then deleted or archived securely.
Your rights (UK GDPR)
You may request access, rectification, erasure, restriction, or objection, and you may complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO). Email [email protected] to exercise your rights.
Children
This site is a general-audience educational resource. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children for marketing. Parents or guardians with concerns can contact us at the email above.
Changes
We may update this policy when our practices change. The “Last updated” date at the top will change when we do.
