Introduction

This Privacy Policy explains how Chickpea Wellness Hub ("we", "us", or "our") collects, uses, and protects your information when you visit our website, chickpea-studio.com. We are committed to respecting your privacy and ensuring transparency about how your data is handled.

Information We Collect

When you visit our website, we automatically collect certain information through standard web technologies. This includes:

IP address and browser type
Pages visited and time spent on each page
Device type and operating system
Referral source (e.g., search engine or another website)

We do not collect names, email addresses, phone numbers, or any other personally identifiable information unless you voluntarily provide it through contact forms — and even then, no data is stored in a database.

How We Use Information

The information we collect is used solely for the following purposes:

To understand how visitors interact with our content
To improve website performance and user experience
To deliver relevant and useful content based on general traffic patterns
To comply with legal obligations and ensure website security

We do not use your data for marketing, profiling, or automated decision-making.

Cookies and Tracking Technologies

We use cookies and similar tracking technologies to enhance your browsing experience. Cookies are small text files stored on your device that help us remember your preferences and analyse site usage.

Types of cookies we use include:

Essential cookies: Necessary for the website to function properly
Analytics cookies: Used to gather anonymous statistics about site traffic
Third-party cookies: Set by external services like Google Analytics

You can manage or disable cookies through your browser settings. Disabling cookies may affect some website features.

Third-Party Services

We use trusted third-party services to help us operate and improve our website:

Google Analytics: To analyse website traffic and user behaviour anonymously
Advertising networks: Such as Google AdSense, which may place cookies to serve relevant ads based on general browsing patterns — not personal identification

These services operate under their own privacy policies. We do not have control over their data practices. We recommend reviewing their policies:

Data Security

We implement reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect your data. However, please note that no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security, but we take steps to minimise risks.

Personal data is not stored on our servers. All collected information is either anonymised or processed in real-time without retention.

Your Rights

Under the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR), you have the following rights:

The right to be informed about how your data is used
The right to access any data we hold about you (though none is stored)
The right to request deletion of your data (if any exists)
The right to object to processing
The right to withdraw consent at any time

Since we do not store personal data, most of these rights are not applicable in practice. However, if you believe we have collected data incorrectly or wish to raise a concern, please contact us using the details below.

Children's Privacy

Our website is not intended for children under the age of 16. We do not knowingly collect personal data from individuals under this age. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us immediately and we will take steps to remove it.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with a revised "Last Updated" date. We encourage you to review this policy periodically for any updates.
