Privacy notice
This notice explains what personal data Coverwire collects when you use this website or contact us, and what we do with it. Coverwire is published by Dt5 Consulting Ltd, which is the data controller. We are registered with the Information Commissioner's Office under reference ZC273621.
What we collect
- Technical data. When you visit, our hosting provider, Hetzner Online GmbH (Germany, EU), and our security and delivery provider, Cloudflare, process your IP address, browser type and the pages you request. This keeps the site working and protects it from attacks.
- Visitor statistics. We use Cloudflare Web Analytics to count page views. It does not use cookies and does not identify you.
- Messages you send us. If you email us, we keep your name, email address and what you tell us.
We do not sell personal data or use it for advertising. If you sign up for our email briefing, see Email briefing and analytics below.
Why we use it
We rely on our legitimate interests in running a secure news website and in answering, checking and reporting on what people send us.
Who we share it with
The site runs on a server provided by Hetzner Online GmbH in Germany, in the EU, and is served through Cloudflare. Hetzner and Cloudflare act as our processors under contract. Some of this processing may take place outside the UK, under safeguards approved by UK law. We share data with others only if the law requires it.
How long we keep it
Server and security logs, and messages you send us, are kept only as long as needed for security and to deal with your message, then deleted.
Cookies
This website does not set any cookies, and our visitor statistics do not use cookies. If that changes, we will update this notice and ask for your consent where the law requires it.
