This policy explains what information The Hen Keeper (thehenkeeper.com) collects when you visit the site, how it is used and the choices you have. We aim to comply with the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018.
Information we collect
- Messages you send us. If you email us, we receive your email address and whatever you include in your message. We use it only to reply.
- Technical data. Like most websites, our hosting provider automatically logs basic technical information such as IP address, browser type and pages visited, for security and performance.
- Analytics. If we use analytics tools, they collect anonymised information about how visitors use the site so we can improve it.
Cookies
We use cookies that are necessary for the site to work. Analytics and affiliate cookies are only set where the law allows or where you have given consent. You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings at any time.
Affiliate links
Some links on this site are affiliate links, including links to Amazon. When you click one, the retailer may place a cookie on your device so that the referral can be credited to us if you make a purchase. The retailer’s own privacy policy applies once you leave our site. See our Affiliate Disclosure for more.
Embedded content
Pages may include embedded content such as videos or images from other websites. Embedded content behaves as if you visited the other website directly, and that website may collect data about you.
How long we keep data
We keep emails only as long as needed to deal with your enquiry. Server logs are kept for a limited period by our hosting provider.
Your rights
Under UK data protection law you can ask to access, correct or delete the personal data we hold about you, or object to how we use it. To make a request, contact us. You also have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) at ico.org.uk.

We may update this policy from time to time. The date at the top shows when it was last changed.
