Privacy policy

Who we are

Spirits of Eden is an independent UK publication at spiritsofeden.com. You can reach the desk at hello@spiritsofeden.com or through the contact form. This policy is written for readers in the United Kingdom.

What we collect

The site is static. There is no account, and the pages themselves do not ask you to sign in.

• Contact form. If you write in, we receive the name, email address, topic and message you submit, plus the privacy acknowledgement. The form is delivered by our host, Netlify, through Netlify Forms. Netlify processes that submission so it can reach us.
• Theme preference. If you switch between light and dark, the choice is stored in your browser under the key soe-theme. It stays on your device. We do not receive it.
• Hosting logs. Like most hosts, Netlify may keep technical logs, such as an IP address and the page requested, to run and protect the service.

We do not run our own analytics, and we do not sell personal information.

Affiliate links

Some guides link to Amazon.co.uk. If you follow one of those links, you leave this site and Amazon’s own privacy notice applies. Amazon may set cookies on its site. We receive commission information from the Amazon Associates Programme, not your payment details. See the affiliate disclosure.

How long we keep messages

We keep contact messages for as long as we need them to reply, to correct a guide, or to keep a record of a request, and then we delete them. You can ask us to delete a message sooner.

Your rights

If UK data protection law applies, you can ask for a copy of the personal information we hold about you, ask us to correct it, ask us to delete it, or object to how we use it. You can also complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office at ico.org.uk.

Changes

If this policy changes, the date at the top of the page will change with it.
