What we collect, why, how long we keep it, and how to get rid of it.

Last updated 1 September 2026.


The short version

We collect as little as we can. We do not sell data. We do not run advertising networks on this site.

What we collect

WhatWhyKept
Analytics: pages viewed, referrer, approximate country, device type To see which pages are useful26 months
Your email, if you join the ARC programme or write to us To send you the book and replyUntil you ask us to delete it
Account details, if you create a WORLDVIEW account To operate the accountUntil you close it
Server logs including IP address Security and abuse prevention30 days

What we do not collect

We do not ask for your address, your date of birth, or anything about your household circumstances. A preparedness publisher holding a list of who is vulnerable and where they live would be a bad idea, so we do not build one.

Lawful basis

Legitimate interests for analytics and security. Consent for marketing email, which you can withdraw at any time using the unsubscribe link in every message. Contract where you hold a WORLDVIEW account.

Processors

We use hosting, analytics, email delivery and authentication providers who process data on our behalf under contract. WORLDVIEW also calls third-party data sources for satellite, flight and seismic information; those calls carry no personal data about you.

Your rights

Access, rectification, erasure, restriction, portability and objection. Write to hello@skavinger.com and we will respond within one month. You may also complain to the Information Commissioner's Office at ico.org.uk.

Cookies

The marketing pages set no cookies of their own. Analytics and, if you sign in, authentication set cookies necessary for those functions. See GDPR for the detail.
