Last updated: 3 November 2025

This combined Privacy and Cookie Policy explains how we collect, use, and share personal data when you visit Singer Sewing Info (the “Website”) and how cookies and similar technologies are used. It also sets out your rights under UK data-protection law.

1. Who we are (joint controllers)

For the purposes of the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018, Coppice Labs Ltd and Carl Bailey act as joint data controllers of personal data processed through this Website.

You may contact either controller about your personal-data rights; we will ensure your request reaches the correct party.

2. What data we collect

  • Usage data – IP address (anonymised where possible), browser/device type and version, pages visited, timestamps, and similar analytics data collected automatically.
  • Cookies & tracking technologies – identifiers stored on your device for site operation, analytics, and advertising.
  • Contact details – name, email address, and message content when you use the contact form or email us directly.
  • Analytics events – interactions recorded for site-improvement purposes (e.g. click events, navigation paths). These are collected only when you have granted consent for analytics cookies.

3. Why we use your data & lawful bases

  • Operate and secure the Website — legitimate interests.
  • Analytics and performance measurement (Google Analytics and PostHog) — consent (via cookie banner).
  • Advertising and affiliate income — consent (cookie banner).
  • Responding to enquiries — legitimate interests or contract.
  • Complying with law — legal obligation.

4. How we share data

We share data only as necessary with:

  • Service providers engaged by Coppice Labs Ltd (e.g. Netlify for hosting & CDN, analytics platforms, email delivery, ad technology).
  • Analytics partners, including Google Analytics and PostHog, when you consent to analytics cookies.
  • Advertising partners (e.g. Google AdSense) when you consent to advertising cookies.
  • Regulators or authorities where required by law.

We do not sell your personal data.

5. International transfers

Some partners (such as Google and PostHog) process data outside the UK/EEA. Where this occurs, transfers rely on UK adequacy decisions or standard contractual clauses with appropriate safeguards.

Where PostHog is used in its EU-hosted environment, your data remains within the EEA.

6. Retention periods

  • Contact enquiries – kept up to 12 months after resolution.
  • Analytics data (Google Analytics & PostHog) – kept per partner defaults (typically 12–24 months depending on configuration).
  • Server logs – typically up to 12 months.

7. Your rights

You have the right to access, rectify, erase, restrict or object to processing, request data portability, and withdraw consent at any time. To exercise these rights, contact either controller using the details above. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner’s Office (ico.org.uk).

8. Security

We apply appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect personal data; however, no internet transmission can be guaranteed completely secure.

9. Children

This Website is not directed at children under 13. If you believe a child has submitted personal data, please contact us and we will delete it where required.

Our Website may link to external websites we do not control. Those sites’ privacy policies apply to their processing activities.
