PRIVACY POLICY
Short version: we collect as little as possible, share nothing, and never sell your data.
This policy covers playhouse.io and was last updated on 11 May 2026. The site is operated by Matthew Myles, Jersey, Channel Islands.
DATA WE COLLECT
Analytics data. We use Google Analytics (GA4) to understand how visitors use the site — which pages are read, how long people spend on them, and how they arrive. Google Analytics collects anonymised data including your approximate location, device type, browser, and which pages you visit. This data is processed by Google and subject to Google's privacy policy.
No account or form data. Playhouse.io has no user accounts, no comment system, and no contact forms. We do not collect your name, email address, or any personally identifiable information directly.
COOKIES
This site uses cookies in two ways:
Analytics cookies. Google Analytics sets cookies (typically named _ga, _ga_*) to distinguish unique visitors and sessions. These cookies persist for up to 2 years. You can opt out of Google Analytics across all sites by installing the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on.
Amazon affiliate cookies.When you click an Amazon link on this site, Amazon may set cookies to attribute any resulting purchases to our affiliate account. This is standard practice for Amazon Associates. Amazon's use of cookies is governed by Amazon's cookie policy.
AMAZON AFFILIATE TRACKING
Playhouse.io participates in the Amazon Associates Programme. When you click a product link, your visit to Amazon is tracked so that any commission we earn can be attributed correctly. Amazon handles all payment and personal data for purchases — we only receive aggregate commission reports and have no access to your Amazon account details, purchase history, or payment information. See our Affiliate Disclosure for more detail on how affiliate links work on this site.
HOW WE USE DATA
The analytics data we collect is used solely to understand which content is useful, identify pages with technical problems, and guide decisions about what to write next. It is never used for advertising targeting or sold to any third party.
We do not sell, rent, or share your data with third parties beyond the processors listed above (Google Analytics, Amazon Associates).
YOUR RIGHTS
If you are based in the UK or EU, you have rights under UK GDPR / GDPR, including the right to access, correct, or delete personal data held about you. Because we collect very little personal data directly, most requests will need to be directed to Google or Amazon using their respective data subject request processes.
For any query about data we hold directly, contact hello@playhouse.io.
CHANGES TO THIS POLICY
If this policy changes materially, the updated version will be posted here with a revised date at the top. Continued use of the site after a change constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
