Our Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how Four-Fables, (“we”, “us”, “our”) collects, uses, and protects information when you visit Four-Fables.com (the “Site”). Four-Fables is based in the United Kingdom, and this website is intended for a global audience.

1. Who We Are

Data Controller: Harry Paine / Prjct Four Ltd

Contact: enquiries@four-fables.com

This Site is hosted on Squarespace. Squarespace acts as a data processor for certain technical and analytics data collected through the Site, see Squarespace's own privacy policy for details of their processing.

2. What Information We Collect

Because this Site does not currently operate a newsletter or email sign-up, we collect only limited information, primarily through standard website hosting functions and the third-party links we provide:

  • Technical and usage data: IP address, browser type, device information, and browsing behaviour, collected automatically by Squarespace's built-in analytics.

  • Cookies: used for essential site functionality, analytics

  • Information you provide directly: if you contact us by email or through any contact details listed on the Site, we will hold the information you send us (e.g. your name and email address) for the purpose of responding.

We do not collect payment information, account passwords, or special category data (e.g. health, religious, or political data) through this Site.

3. How We Use Information

Any information collected is used only to:

  • Operate, maintain, and improve the Site

  • Understand aggregate visitor trends via analytics (e.g. which pages or events are popular)

  • Respond to direct enquiries sent to us

We do not sell personal information, and we do not use any data collected through this Site for targeted advertising.

4. Cookies

The Site uses the following categories of cookies:

  • Essential cookies: required for the Site to function correctly (set by Squarespace).

We share limited technical data with the following categories of third party in order to operate the Site:

  • Squarespace, Inc. - website hosting and built-in analytics

We do not sell or rent personal information to third parties for their own marketing purposes.

6. International Data Transfers

UK/EEA visitors: you also have the right to lodge a complaint with your local supervisory authority - in the UK, the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO), ico.org.uk.

California visitors: you may have additional rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), including the right to know what personal information is collected and to request its deletion. We do not sell personal information as defined under the CCPA.

8. Data Retention

We retain any information collected through direct enquiries only for as long as necessary to respond to and resolve that enquiry, or as required by law. Aggregate, anonymised analytics data may be retained for longer periods to help us understand Site performance over time.

9. Children's Privacy

This Site is not directed at children, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 (or 16, where applicable under EU/UK law). If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us so we can remove it.
