What follows applies to pottydays.com, where Pottydays publishes Pottydays. It covers what we collect, who else is involved, and the rights you hold.

Information We Collect

The data involved falls into two buckets. Passively collected: log and analytics information — IP address, device and browser — about the connection used to reach pottydays.com, and the path taken through the site. Actively provided: an email address for the mailing list, comment details, or the contents of a message to us. Because this site covers Pottydays, one point deserves its own sentence — we ask readers not to send us sensitive personal details, and we delete rather than retain anything of that kind that reaches us unprompted.

How It Gets Used

We process this information to maintain and secure the site, to analyse readership in aggregate, to send opted-in email, and to support advertising if and where it runs.

Newsletter and Email

Mailing-list signup requires confirmation from the address given, which stops anyone subscribing you without your knowledge. Unsubscribe links and a postal address appear in every message, and we do not pass the list to anyone.

What You Can Ask For

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.

Third Parties

Several providers may be involved in delivering pottydays.com — hosting, analytics, email delivery, and advertising networks. Where a provider determines its own purposes (advertising and analytics vendors typically do), it is an independent controller and its policy governs what it does.

Storage and Safeguards

Data lifespans are tied to purpose — analytics on the provider’s expiry schedule, email addresses until you leave the list, comments until they are taken down. Protection is by way of restricted access and encrypted transport, applied proportionately. No online service can be perfectly secure.

On Cookies

Cookies and similar browser storage are covered separately, in detail, in our Cookie Policy.

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.

Minors

The content and the site are for adults. Children under 13, or under 16 depending on jurisdiction, are not the intended audience, and we do not knowingly collect data from them. Discovering that we had would prompt deletion.

Reaching Us

If any of this needs clarifying, or you want to make a request, email [email protected].
