What we collect, and what we do not.

01 · Reading this site

Nothing is asked of you.

You can read every page here without giving us anything. There are no cookies, no analytics, no advertising, no tracking pixels and no fingerprinting. Nothing is stored in your browser.

Our host keeps ordinary web server records of requests, which include the address your request came from and the browser it came from. That is how any website on the internet works. We do not use those records to build a picture of you, and we do not connect them to anything else.

02 · The newsletter

Only what you hand us.

If you put your address into a signup form, it goes to Kit, the service that sends our emails, and it is used to send you news about the house. The first name beside it is optional, and it is used to put your name at the top of the email rather than the word friend.

After you confirm, the page you land on offers a second form for a phone number and a mailing address. Both are optional and both are plainly labelled as such. A phone number is used to call you about this house, an address is used to post you something about this house, and neither is used for anything else. Anything you leave blank stays blank. We do not look anything up about you, and we do not buy, append or infer a single field.

Every email we send carries an unsubscribe link, and using it stops the mail at once. That stops the mail rather than erasing the record, so if you want what we hold deleted outright, write and say so and it will be, in full, without our asking why.

We do not sell, rent, trade or share the list. If somebody asks us for it, the answer is no.

03 · Giving

We never see your card.

Gifts are handled by PayPal. Your card or account details are entered on their systems and never touch ours. What comes back to us is what we need to thank you and to write your receipt: a name, an email address, a postal address where one is given, and the amount.

Donor names and contact details are never published, sold, traded or shared without written permission. If you would rather give without appearing anywhere at all, say so and that is how it will be.

The same applies to a gift by check. How to give sets out every route.

04 · Films, maps and other people's sites

Nothing loads until you ask.

The films on the restoration page are hosted on YouTube, but nothing is requested from YouTube while you are simply reading. The poster images come from our own domain. Only when you press play does a player load, and it loads from the no cookie version of their service.

Links to a map, to our Facebook page, or to the designer's site are ordinary links. Following one takes you to a company with its own policies, and ours stops at our edge.

05 · What we do not do

The short list.

We do not run analytics of any kind. We do not use advertising or retargeting. We do not sell or trade anything about you. We do not build a picture of you from what you read or click, and nothing goes on your record that you did not type in yourself. We do not email you unless you asked us to, and we do not email you about anything other than this house.

06 · Asking us

Where to write.

Write to info@friendsofthelatimerhouse.org and ask what we hold about you, ask for it to be corrected, or ask for it to be deleted. We will do it, and we will not make you explain why.
