Weldworknow publishes Weldworknow. This policy sets out what visiting weldworknow.com involves in data terms, and what you can do about it.

Types of Information

The data involved falls into two buckets. Passively collected: log and analytics information — IP address, device and browser — about the connection used to reach weldworknow.com, and the path taken through the site. Actively provided: an email address for the mailing list, comment details, or the contents of a message to us. A specific note for readers interested in Weldworknow: we ask readers not to send us sensitive personal details, and we delete rather than retain anything of that kind that reaches us unprompted.

Data Lifespan and Security

Nothing is kept longer than it is needed for. Analytics data ages out on the provider’s schedule, subscriber addresses last until you unsubscribe, comments stay until removed. Access is limited, connections are encrypted in transit, and while no site can promise perfect security, we take reasonable and proportionate measures.

Our Newsletter

Newsletter subscriptions use double opt-in verification. Unsubscribe links appear in all email along with our postal address, removal is instant, and subscriber addresses are not rented, sold, or handed to third parties for their own marketing.

About Cookies

There is a dedicated Cookie Policy covering what is stored on your device and how to control it.

Where advertising is served, third-party vendors including Google may use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites. Google’s use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to this site and/or other sites on the internet. You may opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings, or opt out of a third-party vendor’s use of cookies for personalised advertising at www.aboutads.info.

Your Control

Whichever framework applies to you — UK/EU GDPR, California’s CCPA/CPRA, or another US state law — you can generally request access, correction, deletion, or portability of your data, object to particular uses, and opt out of sale or sharing for advertising. Global Privacy Control signals are honoured without you needing to contact us. Our State Privacy Notice and Do Not Sell or Share page go further.

Service Providers

Outside services may sit behind this site: our host, an analytics tool, an email provider used only if you subscribe, and advertising partners where ads run. Their handling of data is governed by their own policies, and for advertising and analytics vendors that means they act as independent controllers, not merely as processors on our behalf.

Our Audience and Age

Weldworknow is not aimed at children and is not intended for use by anyone under 13, or under 16 where that is the applicable age. We do not knowingly gather information from children, and anything of that kind that reaches us is deleted.

Why We Process It

We use what we hold to operate the site, to see in aggregate what readers interested in Weldworknow find useful, to send subscribed email, and to enable advertising where it appears.
