Concreteshape publishes Concreteshape. This policy sets out what visiting concreteshape.com involves in data terms, and what you can do about it.

Requests You Can Make

Subject to your location, you may request access to your data, its correction or deletion, a portable copy, or restriction of its use, and you may opt out of sale or sharing for advertising. These entitlements flow from the UK/EU GDPR and from US state law including the CCPA/CPRA. Global Privacy Control signals are respected automatically. See our State Privacy Notice and Do Not Sell or Share.

Holding Periods and Security

Anything we hold has a limited life: it is kept while needed for the purpose it was collected for, then removed or allowed to expire. We use access controls and encryption in transit, and take reasonable steps overall, while being clear that no method of transmission or storage is entirely secure.

Children’s Data

Readers are assumed to be adults. We neither target nor knowingly collect information from children below 13, or below 16 in jurisdictions setting that limit; such information is deleted if found.

Storage on Your Device

Rather than duplicate it here, cookie detail lives in our Cookie Policy.

Where advertising is served, third-party vendors including Google may use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites. Google’s use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to this site and/or other sites on the internet. You may opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings, or opt out of a third-party vendor’s use of cookies for personalised advertising at www.aboutads.info.

What We Hold

When you read concreteshape.com, our host and any analytics provider we use may log technical details of the request — IP address, user agent, referring URL, pages and timestamps. Separately, you may choose to give us an email address, post a comment, or write to us, and that information is collected too.

• There is one niche-specific commitment behind this policy — we ask readers not to send us sensitive personal details, and we delete rather than retain anything of that kind that reaches us unprompted.

Newsletter Handling

We use confirmed (double) opt-in for the mailing list, so nobody is subscribed by mistake or by someone else. Unsubscribe links and our postal address appear in every email, and we do not sell or rent the list.

Processing Purposes

We use what we hold to operate the site, to see in aggregate what readers interested in Concreteshape find useful, to send subscribed email, and to enable advertising where it appears.

Parties We Work With

The parties that may receive data are our hosting provider, any analytics service in use, the email platform behind the newsletter, and advertising networks where advertising is served. Advertising and analytics vendors generally act as independent controllers; the rest act as processors on our instruction.
