At Hatch & Horizon, your privacy is taken seriously. This policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have.
Information We Collect
Newsletter subscriptions
When you subscribe to our newsletter, we collect your email address and, optionally, your first name. This information is used solely to send you our weekly dispatch and relevant updates about Hatch & Horizon.
Comments
When you leave a comment, we collect your name and the content of your comment. We do not require an email address to comment. Comments are stored to enable community discussion on our posts.
Usage data
We may collect anonymised data about how visitors use our site — including pages visited, time on page, and referral sources. This helps us understand what content resonates and how to improve the experience. We do not use cross-site tracking or sell this data to third parties.
How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect to:
- Send you our newsletter and updates you've opted into
- Display your comments in community discussions
- Analyse aggregate site traffic to improve our content
- Respond to enquiries you send us directly
We will never sell your personal information. We will never share your email address with third parties for marketing purposes.
Cookies
We use a minimal number of cookies — specifically to remember your light/dark theme preference. We do not use advertising cookies or third-party tracking cookies.
Third-Party Services
Hatch & Horizon is hosted on Cloudflare Pages. Their infrastructure may collect standard server logs (IP addresses, request metadata) as part of normal operation. You can review Cloudflare's privacy policy for more information.
Our newsletter service may be powered by a third-party email provider. By subscribing, you agree to their data handling practices as well as ours.
Your Rights
You have the right to:
- Access the personal data we hold about you
- Correct inaccurate data
- Delete your data — including unsubscribing from our newsletter at any time
- Object to how we process your data
To exercise any of these rights, contact us at the address below.
Data Retention
We retain newsletter subscriber data until you unsubscribe. Comment data is retained as long as the post exists, unless you request deletion. Anonymised analytics data may be retained indefinitely in aggregate form.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this policy from time to time. When we do, we'll update the date at the top of this page. For significant changes, we'll notify newsletter subscribers directly.
