Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

Welcome to Copper Pot ("we", "our" or "us"). We are committed to protecting your personal information and your right to privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect when you visit our website, how we use it, and the choices you have.

2. Information We Collect

We collect as little as we need to run the recipe book:

• Contact messages: when you write to us through the contact form we receive your name, email address, subject and message.
• Usage data: our hosting provider keeps standard technical logs (such as IP address, browser type and pages visited) to keep the site secure and working.
• Cookies: we use cookies to remember your language and your cookie choices, and to keep editors signed in. Analytics and advertising cookies are used only if you allow them. See our Cookie Policy.

3. How We Use Your Information

• To provide and maintain the website
• To answer your questions and feedback
• To understand how the site is used and improve it (only with your consent for analytics)
• To show advertising (only with your consent for marketing cookies)
• To detect, prevent and address technical and security issues

4. Sharing Your Information

We do not sell, trade or rent your personal information. We share it only with trusted service providers who help us run the website — for example our hosting provider, which stores the site, its database and contact messages and forwards contact messages to us by email — and only as far as they need it to provide their service. We may also disclose information when required by law.

5. Data Retention

Contact messages are kept for as long as needed to answer them and to keep a record of our correspondence. You can ask us to delete them at any time.

6. Data Security

We use appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect your personal information. However, no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

7. Your Rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to:

• Access the personal information we hold about you
• Ask us to correct inaccurate information
• Ask us to delete your personal information
• Object to or restrict how we use it
• Withdraw your consent at any time, for example by changing your cookie settings

To use any of these rights, contact us.

8. Children's Privacy

Our website is not intended for children under 16. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has sent us personal information, please contact us and we will delete it.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes are posted on this page with a new "Last updated" date.
