Privacy Policy
What information CodedEthique collects when you visit the site or contact us, why we collect it, and the choices you have.
Last updated: 16 October 2026
This Privacy Policy explains how CodedEthique (“we”, “us” or “our”) collects, uses and protects information when you visit codedethique.com (the “Site”) or get in touch with us. We collect as little personal information as we reasonably can. You do not need an account to read anything on the Site.
Information we collect
Information collected automatically
Like most websites, our servers record basic technical information when pages are requested. This can include your IP address, browser type and version, operating system, the page you visited, the page that referred you, and the date and time of your visit. We use this information to operate the Site, keep it secure, diagnose problems and understand overall traffic.
Analytics
We may use privacy-respecting analytics tools to understand which articles are read and how visitors find us. Analytics data is reviewed in aggregate and is not used to identify individual readers.
Information you give us
If you contact us by email, we receive your email address, your name if you provide it, and the content of your message. We use this information only to respond to you and, where relevant, to keep a record of any correction or follow-up.
Cookies
The Site uses a small number of cookies that are necessary for it to work and, where applicable, cookies set by analytics or embedded third-party services. Our Cookie Policy explains what these are and how to control them.
How we use information
- To provide, maintain and improve the Site and its content.
- To protect the Site against abuse, spam and security threats.
- To respond to enquiries, tips and correction requests.
- To comply with legal obligations.
We do not sell your personal information, and we do not use it to build advertising profiles.
Legal bases for processing
Where data protection laws such as the UK and EU General Data Protection Regulation apply, we process personal information on the basis of our legitimate interests in operating and securing the Site, your consent where it is required (for example, for non-essential cookies), and our legal obligations.
Sharing information
We share information only with service providers that help us run the Site, such as hosting, content delivery, analytics and email providers. These providers process information on our behalf and are not permitted to use it for their own purposes. We may also disclose information where required by law or to protect our rights, our readers or the public.
Third-party links and embeds
Our articles often link to other websites and may include embedded content such as videos or podcasts. Those sites and services have their own privacy practices, which we do not control. We encourage you to read their policies before providing them with any information.
How long we keep information
Server logs are kept for a limited period for security and troubleshooting and are then deleted. Correspondence is kept for as long as needed to deal with your enquiry and any related record, after which it is deleted.
Security
We use reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect information, including encrypted connections (HTTPS) across the Site. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, but we work to protect the information we hold.
Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access the personal information we hold about you, to ask us to correct or delete it, to object to or restrict certain processing, and to withdraw consent at any time. Residents of California and other jurisdictions with similar laws may also have the right to know what categories of information are collected and to request deletion. To exercise any of these rights, contact us at [email protected]. You also have the right to complain to your local data protection authority.
Children
The Site is intended for a general professional audience and is not directed at children under 13 (or 16 where local law requires). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the date at the top of this page. Significant changes will be highlighted on the Site.
