Privacy Policy
The Goreto ("we", "us", or "our") is committed to protecting your personal information and your right to privacy. This policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and what rights you have in relation to it.
If you have questions or concerns about this policy, or our practices with regards to your personal information, please contact us at [email protected].
Information we collect
We collect information you provide directly to us, such as when you subscribe to our newsletter, create a member account, or contact us. This may include:
- Name and email address (when you subscribe or register)
- Payment information (processed securely via Stripe; we do not store card details)
- Any messages or correspondence you send to us
We also collect certain information automatically when you visit our site, including your IP address, browser type, referring pages, and pages visited. This is used to understand how our site is used and to improve it. We use Ghost Analytics for this purpose, which is privacy-focused and does not track individuals across sites.
How we use your information
We use the information we collect to:
- Send you the newsletter you subscribed to
- Provide access to member-only content
- Respond to your enquiries and support requests
- Understand how our content is being read so we can improve it
- Comply with legal obligations
We do not sell your personal information. We do not share it with third parties for their own marketing purposes.
Email communications
If you subscribe to our newsletter, we will send you editorial updates from The Goreto. You can unsubscribe at any time using the link at the bottom of any email, or by emailing us directly. We use Ghost's built-in mailing system to deliver newsletters.
Cookies
Our site uses cookies to remember your preferences (such as dark mode) and to understand aggregate usage patterns. We do not use advertising cookies or third-party tracking pixels. You can control cookies through your browser settings, though some site functionality may be affected if you disable them.
Data retention
We retain your information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide you services. If you wish to delete your account or request that we no longer use your information, please contact us at [email protected]. We will respond within 30 days.
Your rights
Depending on your location, you may have the right to access, correct, update, or request deletion of your personal information. You also have the right to object to processing of your personal information, ask us to restrict processing, or request portability of your personal information.
To exercise any of these rights, please contact us. We will consider and act on any request in accordance with applicable data protection laws.
Third-party services
Our site is built on Ghost (open-source CMS). Payments are handled by Stripe. Both have their own privacy policies which we encourage you to read. We do not use social media tracking pixels or Google Analytics.
Changes to this policy
We may update this privacy policy from time to time. We will notify subscribers of significant changes by email. The date at the top of this page reflects when the policy was last revised.
