Privacy Policy

2. What data we collect

We collect personal data only when you actively provide it to us. This happens in the following situations:

• Newsletter subscription — your email address, which we use to send you updates about new places, destinations and city guides
• Purchasing a guide — your name, email address and billing information, processed securely by our payment provider. We do not store your card details
• Contact form — your name, email address and the contents of your message
• Site analytics — anonymised usage data such as pages visited, time on site and referral source. This data cannot be used to identify you personally

We do not collect sensitive personal data and we do not use tracking cookies for advertising purposes.

3. How we use your data

We use the data we collect only for the purposes for which it was provided:

• To send newsletter updates to subscribers who have opted in
• To process and fulfil digital guide purchases
• To respond to messages sent through the contact form
• To understand how our Site is used so we can improve it

We do not sell, rent or share your personal data with third parties for marketing purposes. We do not use your data for profiling or automated decision-making.

4. Newsletter

If you subscribe to our newsletter, we will use your email address to send you occasional updates about Notes — new destinations, new listings and new city guides. We send infrequently and only when we have something genuinely worth sharing.

You can unsubscribe at any time by clicking the unsubscribe link in any email we send, or by emailing us at hello@noteseditions.com. We will remove your address from our list promptly.

5. Cookies

We use a small number of essential cookies to make the Site function correctly — for example, to remember your session when completing a purchase. We do not use advertising cookies, tracking pixels or third-party marketing technologies.

We may use anonymised analytics cookies to understand how the Site is used. These cookies do not collect personally identifiable information. You can disable cookies in your browser settings at any time, though this may affect how some parts of the Site function.

6. Data storage and security

Your data is stored securely with reputable service providers. We take reasonable technical measures to protect it against unauthorised access, loss or misuse. Payment information is processed by our payment provider and is never stored on our servers.

We retain your personal data only for as long as necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, or as required by law.

7. Third-party services

We use a small number of third-party services to operate the Site, including a payment processor and an email newsletter platform. Each of these services has its own privacy policy governing how it handles data. We choose providers carefully and do not share more data with them than is necessary.

The Site contains links to external websites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those sites.

8. Your rights

Depending on where you are located, you may have the following rights regarding your personal data:

• The right to access the personal data we hold about you
• The right to correct inaccurate data
• The right to request deletion of your data
• The right to withdraw consent for data processing at any time
• The right to object to how we use your data

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at hello@noteseditions.com. We will respond within 30 days.

9. Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated date. If we make significant changes, we will notify newsletter subscribers by email. Your continued use of the Site after any change constitutes your acceptance of the revised policy.

10. Contact
