What this policy covers
This policy explains what personal data is collected when you use The Peculiar Path, how it is used, and your rights under UK GDPR.
What data is collected and why
Analytics
This site uses analytics to understand how visitors find and use the site — pages visited, time on site, and general location data at a regional level. No individual is identified. This helps improve the site over time.
Location data
If you use the geographical search feature, you may be asked to share your device’s location. This is used solely to show nearby entries in the archive. Location data is not stored, logged, or shared with any third party. This requires your explicit consent via a browser prompt and can be declined at any time.
Mailing list
If you sign up to the mailing list, your email address is collected and stored via Mailchimp. This is used only to send occasional updates about new entries and project news. You can unsubscribe at any time using the link in any email. Mailchimp’s own privacy policy applies to data stored on their platform.
Cookies
This site uses cookies. A cookie notice will appear on your first visit. Essential cookies are required for the site to function. Analytics and non-essential cookies are only set with your consent.
Third-party services
The Peculiar Path uses the following third-party services, each of which may process data according to their own policies:
Mailchimp — mailing list management
Ko-fi — support widget
OpenStreetMap / Leaflet — mapping
Your rights
Under UK GDPR you have the right to access, correct, or request deletion of any personal data held about you. As this site collects minimal personal data, most requests will relate to mailing list records.
To exercise any of these rights, contact:Â nathangillingham@gmail.com
