Chartyourway writes about Chartyourway. This policy explains the data side of visiting chartyourway.com in plain terms.

Rights and Requests

Whichever framework applies to you — UK/EU GDPR, California’s CCPA/CPRA, or another US state law — you can generally request access, correction, deletion, or portability of your data, object to particular uses, and opt out of sale or sharing for advertising. Global Privacy Control signals are honoured without you needing to contact us. Our State Privacy Notice and Do Not Sell or Share page go further.

What Gets Collected

• Some information arrives without you doing anything: standard web-server and analytics records covering IP address, device, browser, rough location and pages viewed. Other information arrives because you sent it — newsletter signups, comment fields, and email correspondence.
• On the point most relevant to readers interested in Chartyourway — we ask readers not to send us sensitive personal details, and we delete rather than retain anything of that kind that reaches us unprompted.

Children

Our audience is adult. We do not target children under 13 — under 16 in jurisdictions that set the higher bar — and we do not knowingly collect their personal information. If such data is identified, it is removed.

Parties We Work With

We rely on third parties for infrastructure and measurement: a host, a content-delivery layer, potentially an analytics provider, an email service for the newsletter, and advertising partners where advertising is served. Some are processors acting on our instruction; some, particularly advertising and analytics vendors, act as independent controllers under their own terms.

Retention & Security

Retention runs only as long as the original purpose. Once that ends — you unsubscribe, a comment is deleted, an analytics window closes — the data goes. We apply reasonable technical and organisational safeguards including access restriction and transport encryption, while acknowledging that no system is immune to compromise.

If You Subscribe

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.

Cookies in Brief

There is a dedicated Cookie Policy covering what is stored on your device and how to control 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.

How the Data Is Applied

The data supports four things — keeping chartyourway.com online and secure, understanding readership patterns in aggregate, sending email people have asked for, and underpinning any advertising on the site.
