Who we are

Information you choose to send us

If you contact us through the website, we may receive the details you provide, such as your name, email address, subject and message. We use this information to respond to your enquiry and manage any related correspondence.

We do not add contact-form details to a marketing list unless you separately choose to sign up to one.

Information collected automatically

Like most websites, some technical information may be collected automatically when you visit. This can include information such as your IP address, browser or device type, pages visited, approximate location, referral source and how you interact with the site.

This information may be used for website security, performance, analytics and to understand which content is useful to readers.

Cookies

Cookies are small files stored on your device. Harley Barley & Co and services used by the site may use cookies or similar technologies for essential site functions, security, analytics, advertising and affiliate tracking.

Depending on your location and the services in use, you may be shown a consent banner or controls that allow you to accept, reject or manage non-essential cookies.

Analytics and Google services

We may use Google services, including tools connected through Google Site Kit, to understand website traffic and performance. These services may use cookies and collect technical information about how visitors use the site.

If advertising is enabled through Google AdSense or another Google advertising service, Google and its advertising partners may use cookies or similar technologies to serve, measure and personalise ads where permitted.

Affiliate links

Some pages on Harley Barley & Co contain affiliate or referral links. If you click one of these links, the retailer or affiliate network may use cookies or other tracking methods to record the visit and, where relevant, attribute a purchase or sign-up to Harley Barley & Co.

Using an affiliate link does not normally change the price you pay. Where a page includes affiliate links or a commercial relationship, we aim to make this clear to readers.

Third-party services

The site may use third-party services to operate, protect, measure or improve the website. These may include WordPress.com and Automattic services such as Jetpack and Akismet, Google services, social media platforms and affiliate networks.

These providers may process information under their own privacy policies. If you follow a link from Harley Barley & Co to another website, that website’s own privacy and cookie terms will apply.

How long we keep information

We only aim to keep personal information for as long as it is reasonably needed for the purpose it was collected, for record-keeping, or where there is a legal or security reason to retain it.

Your privacy rights

Depending on where you live, including under UK data protection law, you may have rights relating to your personal information. These can include asking for access to information we hold about you, asking for inaccurate information to be corrected, requesting deletion in certain circumstances, restricting or objecting to some processing, and raising a concern with the relevant data protection authority.

If you would like to make a privacy request, please contact us through the Contact Us page.

Children’s privacy

Harley Barley & Co is not intended to knowingly collect personal information from children through the contact form. If you believe a child has submitted personal information to us, please contact us so we can review it.
