1. Introduction

Patch & Pot is committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring transparency in how we collect, use, and store any personal data. We do not sell, rent, or share your personal information with advertisers or third parties. This site is ad-free and tracking-free, except for basic privacy-friendly analytics.

2. Information We Collect

We collect only the minimum amount of information needed to provide a smooth and secure service:

  • Voluntary contact: if you send us a message via a contact form or email, we receive the information you provide (e.g. name, email address, and your message).
  • Basic analytics: we use Plausible Analytics, a privacy-friendly, GDPR-compliant tool. It does not use cookies or collect personal data.
  • Technical logs: standard web server logs (e.g. IP address, browser type) may be stored briefly for security and error monitoring.

3. How We Use Your Information

  • To reply to messages you send us.
  • To improve website content and usability.
  • To protect the site from malicious activity.

We do not use invasive tracking, advertising pixels, or profiling of any kind.

4. Cookies

Patch & Pot does not use tracking cookies. Any essential cookies (e.g. for basic site functionality) will be clearly indicated, and your browser gives you control over them.

5. Data Retention

Messages sent through the contact form may be stored securely for reference or follow-up. Analytics and server logs are anonymised and automatically deleted after a short period. We do not build user profiles or long-term data records.

6. Your Rights

Under UK GDPR, you have the right to:

  • Request access to the personal data we hold about you.
  • Request correction or deletion of your data.
  • Withdraw consent at any time if applicable.
  • Lodge a complaint with the ICO if you believe your data rights have been infringed.

7. Third-Party Services

We use only privacy-respecting services that comply with GDPR. No personal data is shared with third parties for marketing or tracking purposes.
