Whitcombe Case Studies (“Whitcombe,” “we,” “us”) publishes whitcombecasestudies.com. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have. It applies when you visit or interact with our website. By using the site, you agree to this Policy and our Terms of Use.
Information we collect
Information you provide. If you email us or use our contact page, we receive your name, email address, message content, and any attachments you send.
Automatic technical data. Like most publishers, our hosting and analytics tools may log IP address, approximate location derived from IP, browser type and version, device type, operating system, referring URL, pages viewed, timestamps, and similar diagnostic data.
Cookies and similar technologies. We may use cookies, local storage, and comparable technologies for essential site operation (for example, remembering a dismissed disclosure notice), audience measurement, and performance monitoring. You can control cookies through your browser settings; disabling them may limit some features.
We do not intentionally collect sensitive categories of data (such as government IDs or payment card numbers) through the public site. Do not send us confidential financial account credentials by email.
How we use information
- Operate, secure, and maintain the website;
- Measure traffic and improve editorial layout and performance;
- Respond to press, editorial, and privacy requests;
- Detect abuse, fraud, or technical issues;
- Comply with law, regulation, or valid legal process.
We do not sell or rent your personal information. We do not use your data for targeted advertising profiles based on cross-site tracking.
Legal bases (EEA and UK visitors)
Where applicable law requires a legal basis, we rely on legitimate interests in operating and improving a public-interest financial publisher, performance of steps at your request when you contact us, and compliance with legal obligations.
Sharing and processors
We may share information with service providers that host the site, deliver email, or provide analytics, under contracts that limit use to providing services to us. We may disclose information if required by law, to protect rights and safety, or in connection with a merger or asset sale, subject to applicable notice requirements.
Retention
Server logs are retained for a limited period consistent with security and operations, then deleted or aggregated. Correspondence is kept as long as needed to respond and maintain a record of inquiries, unless a longer period is required by law.
Security
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures appropriate to a small publisher site. No transmission over the internet is completely secure; use the site at your own risk.
Your rights and choices
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or restrict certain processing of your personal information, or to object to processing. California residents may have additional rights under the CCPA/CPRA. To exercise rights, contact us via Contact. We will verify requests as required by law.
Children
The site is not directed to children under 13 (or 16 where applicable). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided data, contact us and we will delete it where appropriate.
International visitors
We are based in the United States. If you access the site from other regions, your information may be processed in the U.S. or where our providers operate.
Changes to this policy
We may update this Policy from time to time. The “Last updated” date at the top reflects the current version. Material changes may be noted on the site.
