How this website handles your information.

Who we are

This website is run by Thomas Dalton, trading as Castlegate Studios, a sole trader based in England. He is the controller of any personal data described here. Contact: Hearthapp.support@protonmail.com.

This website

This website uses no tracking, no analytics and no cookies, and it runs no scripts. It loads no third-party fonts or content, and it contains no forms, so we don't collect information through it.

The site is hosted by Netlify, Inc. To deliver pages and keep the service secure, Netlify processes basic technical data such as your IP address, browser type and the pages requested, and may keep it in short-term server logs. We rely on legitimate interests (running a secure website) for this. Netlify may process this data outside the UK under its own safeguards; see Netlify's privacy policy.

Email

If you email us, we use your name, email address and message only to reply to you and deal with your request. Our lawful basis is legitimate interests (answering people who contact us). Our email is provided by Proton AG. We keep emails for as long as needed to deal with your request and delete them within 2 years of our last contact, unless we need them longer for a legal reason.

We don't sell your information or use it for marketing, and we don't send marketing emails.

Our apps

Each app has its own privacy policy, covering what that app does with your information. Please read the policy for the app you use. Hearth's policy is at castlegatestudios.co.uk/hearth/privacy.

Your rights

Under UK data protection law you have the right to ask for a copy of your personal data, and to ask us to correct, delete or restrict it, or to object to how we use it. Email us to make a request. We'll respond within one month, as the law requires.

Complaints

If you're unhappy with how we've handled your data, please contact us first. You can also complain to the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) at ico.org.uk/make-a-complaint or on 0303 123 1113.
