Privacy, written as a policy

Who we are

The controller is Climebit, 31 Fernleigh Rd, Wadebridge PL27 7BQ, United Kingdom. Email [email protected]. Telephone +44 7911 825894. There is no separate data-protection officer. Correspondence about privacy goes to the same desk as everything else, marked for privacy if you wish.

What this site actually collects

Reading an essay does not require an account. We do not run a comment system, a newsletter list, or a checkout. The pages do not set advertising cookies and do not embed third-party analytics pixels.

Your cookie choice is stored in your own browser under the localStorage key climebit_consent. The value is a small JSON object with a status of accepted or rejected and a timestamp. It does not leave your device unless you copy it. Rejecting non-essential cookies stores that rejection in the same place, so the banner can stay dismissed. If your browser blocks storage, the banner may return on the next visit. Nothing else breaks.

If you email [email protected] or telephone the desk, we receive the information you include: your address, number, and the contents of the note. Please do not send special-category data, identity documents, or full financial records of a real company. The essays do not need them, and we do not want a valuation file we have said we will not open.

Other people’s servers

The typefaces are requested from fonts.bunny.net and the icon font from cdn.jsdelivr.net. Those requests expose your IP address, and ordinary technical logs, to the operators of those networks. They may process connection data outside the United Kingdom. We use them so the pages can ship as static files without hosting a private copy of every glyph. If that bothers you, the words remain readable in a browser’s fallback type.

Our own host will also keep ordinary server logs, which can include IP address, user agent, and the page requested. Those logs are a security record, not a marketing list.

Why we use the data, and for how long

• Cookie preference: your consent, or your refusal, so the banner respects the last choice. Kept in your browser until you clear site data.
• Email and telephone notes: legitimate interests in reading and replying to editorial correspondence, and in keeping a record of what was said if a point is later disputed. Kept for up to 24 months from the last message in the thread, then deleted from the mailbox unless a longer period is required to deal with a complaint or a legal claim.
• Server logs: legitimate interests in keeping the site available and diagnosing abuse. Kept for up to 90 days unless a security incident requires a longer extract.

We do not sell personal data. We do not use it to train a model. We do not pass correspondence to a valuation firm as a lead.

Your rights

Depending on the circumstances you may have the right to access, rectify, erase, restrict, or object to our use of your personal data, and the right to data portability where the processing is based on consent or a contract and is carried out by automated means. The cookie flag is already in your control: delete site data for climebit.click and it is gone. For mailbox data, write to [email protected]. We may ask you to prove you are the sender before we disclose a thread.

You may complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office, Wycliffe House, Water Lane, Wilmslow, Cheshire, SK9 5AF, or via ico.org.uk. We would prefer to hear from you first, and you are not obliged to give us that chance.

Children

The essays are written for adults dealing with companies. The site is not directed at children, and we do not knowingly collect their data.

Changes

If this policy changes in a way that affects correspondence already held, the page will say so at the top with a date. This version is dated 27 October 2026.
