Privacy policy
Last updated 18 August 2026
This site is a small publication. It has no accounts, no newsletter and no forms, so there is very little for us to collect. Here is exactly what happens when you visit.
Who is responsible
This website is published by Emily Carter. If you have a question about this policy or about your data, write to info@emilycarterblog.com and we will answer within 30 days.
What we collect
- Technical data your browser sends automatically. Your IP address, browser and device type, the page you requested and the page you came from. Our hosting provider records this to serve the site and to protect it against abuse.
- Advertising measurement. Pages on this site load the Meta pixel, which tells Meta that a visit happened and, if you later buy something through a link here, that the purchase followed that visit. It does not tell us who you are.
We do not ask for your name, email address, postal address or payment details anywhere on this site, and we do not have a way to store them.
Cookies and similar technologies
The Meta pixel sets cookies in your browser so that Meta can recognise the same browser across visits. You can block or delete these at any time in your browser settings, and the site will keep working normally. You can also limit how Meta uses this data from your Meta account settings, or opt out of interest-based advertising through the Digital Advertising Alliance or Your Online Choices in the EU.
Why we are allowed to do this
Serving the site and keeping it secure rests on our legitimate interest in running a working website. Advertising measurement rests on your consent where the law requires consent, and on our legitimate interest in understanding whether our advertising works where it does not. You can withdraw consent at any time by blocking cookies as described above.
Who else sees this data
- bunny.net, hosting and content delivery. Processes server logs on our behalf.
- Meta Platforms, advertising measurement. Meta is an independent controller of the data its pixel collects, under its own privacy policy.
We do not sell your data, and we do not share it with anyone beyond the two providers above.
Where your data goes
Both providers may process data outside the European Economic Area, including in the United States. Where that happens it is covered by the European Commission’s standard contractual clauses or an equivalent safeguard.
How long we keep it
Server logs are retained by our host for a short operational period and then deleted. Data held by Meta is retained under Meta’s own policy, which you can review and control from your Meta account.
Your rights
Depending on where you live you may have the right to ask what data we hold about you, to have it corrected or deleted, to object to how we use it, and to receive a copy. Write to info@emilycarterblog.com. Because we hold no account and no contact details, we may need enough information from you to find any record at all. Often there is none.
If you are in the EEA or UK, you also have the right to complain to your national data protection authority. If you are in California, we confirm we have not sold or shared personal information in the past twelve months.
Links to other sites
Some links here lead to shops we have a commercial relationship with. Once you follow one, that site’s own privacy policy applies and this one no longer does.
Children
This site is written for adults and is not directed at anyone under 16.
Changes
If this policy changes we will update the date at the top of the page.
