Privacy Policy

Introduction

Interesting Light is an independent editorial publication about lighting. This policy explains what information may be processed when you visit the site or contact us, and how that information is handled.

Information We Collect

The site does not offer user accounts or a contact form. We receive personal information only when you choose to email us, including your email address, message, and any information or attachments you include.

Server Logs and Hosting

Our hosting and content delivery providers may process standard technical request information as part of delivering, maintaining, and securing the site. This can include an IP address, browser and device information, requested pages, timestamps, and diagnostic or security logs.

These systems are operated by the relevant providers, and their handling and retention of technical logs are governed by their own practices.

Analytics and Cookies

Interesting Light uses a self-hosted website analytics service and Google Analytics 4 to understand aggregate site usage, such as page visits, referral sources, approximate location, browser, and device information. Google Analytics is provided by Google and is subject to Google's privacy policy. These analytics technologies may set cookies or use similar browser storage. The site does not use advertising trackers or marketing cookies. Where applicable law requires prior consent, the site operator should configure an appropriate consent mechanism before enabling analytics for affected visitors.

Third-Party Services

Our articles may link to websites operated by other organisations. If you follow an external link, that site may collect information under its own privacy policy. Interesting Light does not control those third-party websites or their data practices.

Email Communications

If you email us, we may use your message to reply, review a correction, consider an article suggestion, or improve our editorial work. The site does not currently operate a newsletter, and sending us a message does not subscribe you to a mailing list.

Data Retention

We may retain correspondence for as long as reasonably needed to respond, follow up on an editorial matter, or keep an appropriate record of the exchange. Technical logs are retained according to the practices of our hosting and content delivery providers.

Your Choices

You can browse the site without emailing us. If you have sent us a message and would like us to review, correct, or delete information contained in that correspondence, contact us using the address below. Some information may need to be retained where reasonably necessary or required by law.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy when the site or its supporting services change. The date at the top of this page shows when the policy was last revised.
