Who we are
decaffeinate is an independent guide to specialty decaf coffee in the UK. The site is operated from the United Kingdom. You can contact us at [email protected] about anything on this page.
The Decaf Club newsletter
If you join the Decaf Club, we collect your email address. We ask you to tick a box to confirm you want it, so the only thing we hold is an email address you chose to give us. The lawful basis is your consent.
We use your email for one thing: to send you the newsletter you signed up for. We will not sell it, share it, or use it for anything else. Every email we send will have a one-click unsubscribe link, and you can also email us at [email protected] to be removed at any time.
Signups are stored in our own newsletter system, which runs on a server hosted in the European Union. We keep your address only for as long as you stay subscribed. When we start sending the newsletter, the emails are delivered through a third-party email provider; we will name it here at that point.
Analytics and cookies
We use Google Analytics to understand how the site is used: which pages are read, where visitors come from, and how the directory performs. Google Analytics sets cookies and processes data on Google's servers. It tells us about traffic in aggregate, not who you are. You can read how Google handles this data in Google's privacy policy, and you can block analytics cookies in your browser settings or with a tracker-blocking extension.
What else we collect
- Outbound clicks. When you click through to a roaster's own site or an affiliate link, that site sets its own cookies and applies its own privacy policy. We have no control over those.
- Suggestions and corrections. If you suggest a coffee or report a correction, we keep what you send us so we can act on it. We use it only for that.
What we do not do
- We do not sell or share personal data with third parties for marketing.
- We do not require an account, and there is no login.
- We do not add you to the newsletter unless you ask to be added.
Your rights
Under UK GDPR you have the right to ask what personal data we hold about you, to correct it, to have it deleted, and to withdraw consent at any time. Email [email protected] and we will respond within 30 days. If you are not satisfied with our response, you can complain to the Information Commissioner's Office at ico.org.uk.
Changes
If we change this policy, we will update the date at the top of this page.
