PRIVACY POLICY

Information collected

PatchCrest collects an email address when a visitor voluntarily subscribes to the newsletter. The website may also receive standard technical information necessary to deliver pages securely, such as request, browser and device information handled by the hosting platform.

Newsletter subscriptions

The PatchCrest newsletter uses Kit as its email service provider. Subscription information is sent to Kit and processed through a double opt-in confirmation flow. It is used to manage subscriptions and deliver PatchCrest editorial updates.

You may unsubscribe using the link included in a newsletter email. Removing yourself from marketing emails does not necessarily erase records that a service provider must retain for suppression, security or compliance purposes.

Cookies and local storage

PatchCrest does not currently operate a separate advertising or analytics platform. Essential hosting, security and embedded service features may use cookies or similar storage where necessary. If optional analytics, advertising or personalization tools are introduced, this policy and the site’s consent controls should be updated before those tools are activated.

Service providers

PatchCrest relies on service providers to host the website and operate the newsletter. Those providers may process limited information to deliver their services, prevent abuse and maintain security. Kit’s own terms and privacy practices apply to information it processes.

Future Google advertising

Google AdSense is not currently active on PatchCrest. If Google advertising is enabled later, Google and its partners may use cookies or similar technologies to serve, measure and personalize ads where permitted. Visitors will be directed to Google’s advertising privacy information and available ad controls, and an appropriate Google-certified consent solution will be configured where required before personalized advertising is enabled.

More information is available from Google’s explanation of information from partner sites and Google Ad Settings.

Your choices and privacy questions

You may unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time. For access, correction, deletion or another privacy question, email contact@patchcrest.com and include enough information for PatchCrest to understand and respond to the request.

Changes to this policy

This policy may be updated when PatchCrest introduces new services or when its practices change. The date shown at the top identifies the latest published version.
