This site collects as little as possible. Most visits leave nothing behind at all.
Who we are
Saltmarsh Notes is written and run by Alice Fenwick, of the north Norfolk coast, and published at saltmarshnotes.com.
What is not collected
There are no accounts, no comments, no newsletter and no contact forms. You can read the whole site without giving a name or an address. Nothing is profiled and no advertising network is involved.
What is collected
When you read a page, our host records a standard server log: IP address, browser type, the page requested and the time. These logs are used to keep the site running, to spot errors and to understand roughly how many people visit. They are not used to identify anyone.
If you send an email, we keep your address and your message for as long as the conversation lasts. Email is kept for correspondence only and is never added to a marketing list.
Cookies
This site sets no cookies of its own. There is no analytics script and no tracking pixel. The cookie policy explains the details.
Third parties
The site is served by a hosting provider, which keeps the server logs described above. No data is sold, rented or traded. If an email is sent through a mail provider, that provider processes it on our behalf.
How long it is kept
Server logs are rotated by the host on a rolling basis and are not kept indefinitely. Emails are kept while the conversation is live and for a short while afterwards, then deleted. You can ask for earlier deletion at any time.
Your rights
You can ask at any time what is held about you and ask for it to be deleted. Write to hello@saltmarshnotes.com. In practice the answer is almost always a short email and nothing more.
Changes
