# Privacy policy

Effective 8 July 2026. CropIntel is operated by Hurricane Works; Hurricane Works is the data controller.

## What we collect, and why

- Your email address, only if you subscribe to the daily
summary. Subscription is double opt-in: nothing is sent until you confirm
from your own inbox. Every email carries an unsubscribe link that works
immediately.
- Your IP address, briefly, when you submit the
subscription form: used solely for rate-limiting and abuse prevention, and
trimmed on a rolling basis within about 30 days.
- Aggregate, cookieless analytics via
[Simple Analytics](https://simpleanalytics.com/) (EU-based).
No cookies, no fingerprinting, no personal identifiers, no cross-site
tracking. We see page counts, not people.
- Standard server logs for security and operations.

## What we do not do

We do not sell, rent or share your email address with anyone. We do not
run advertising or third-party trackers. We do not build profiles of
individuals.

## Public forum commentary

The sentiment layer summarises publicly posted UK arable discussion in
aggregate. Where a short excerpt appears on this site, the author is
anonymised to initials. We do not publish personal profiles and we do not
republish the underlying corpus.

## Who processes data on our behalf

Email delivery: [Resend](https://resend.com/). Hosting: Amazon
Web Services (London region). Analytics: Simple Analytics (EU). Each
processes only what is needed for its function.

## Retention

Subscriber records are kept while your subscription is active and removed
from the send list immediately on unsubscribe. Rate-limit records are
trimmed within about 30 days. Backups age out on a rolling schedule.

## Your rights

Under UK GDPR you can ask what we hold about you, ask for it to be
corrected or deleted, or object to processing. Email
[alastair@hurricane.works](mailto:alastair@hurricane.works) and
it will be handled directly. You can also complain to the ICO
([ico.org.uk](https://ico.org.uk/)).
