Privacy

Contour and Compass respects your privacy. This page explains what we collect when you read the site or write to us, and why.

Reading the site

We do not use advertising trackers, analytics cookies or third-party scripts. Your browser may remember your light or dark reading choice on your own device; it is never sent to us.

Writing to us

When you use the contact form, we receive your name, email address, the type of enquiry, your message and, if you add it, your Telegram username. We use these details only to read and answer your message and keep them no longer than needed for that.

Server records

Like every website, our servers briefly keep technical records such as the time of a request and the page asked for, to keep the site secure and working.

Your choices

You may ask us at any time what we hold about you, and ask us to correct or delete it, through the contact form.
