Privacy notice
This notice explains what personal information Heat for Health Collaboration (“we”, “us”) collects through this website, why, and what your rights are. We are the controller of your information. You can contact us at hello@heatforhealth.org.
What we collect and why
If you join our mailing list
You give us your email address, and optionally your first name, last name and organisation. We use these only to send you updates about Heat for Health Collaboration. Our lawful basis is your consent, which you can withdraw at any time using the unsubscribe link in any email, or by emailing us.
The form is provided by Mailchimp (Intuit Inc.), which stores your details on our behalf. After you submit the form, the confirmation page is hosted by Mailchimp, which has its own privacy policy.
Website analytics (only if you accept)
If you choose “Accept” on the cookie banner, we use Google Analytics to understand how the site is used: which pages are viewed, roughly where visitors are, and what device and browser they use. This sets cookies and sends this information to Google. If you choose “Decline”, or ignore the banner, Google Analytics is not loaded and no analytics cookies are set. Our lawful basis is your consent. Analytics data is kept for no more than 14 months.
Technical information
Like any website, our hosting provider (Netlify) receives your IP address and basic browser details when you load a page, in order to deliver the site and keep it secure. The site also loads fonts from Google Fonts and a script library from jQuery’s content delivery network, which means those providers also receive your IP address. Our lawful basis is legitimate interests in running a secure, working website.
Cookies
We set no cookies unless you accept analytics. Your cookie choice itself is remembered in your browser’s local storage so we don’t ask you again. You can change your mind at any time with “Cookie settings” in the footer.

|---|---|---|---|
_ga | Google Analytics | Distinguishes visitors so we can count them | Up to 2 years |

Who we share information with
We use these providers to run the site. They process information on our behalf and do not use it for their own purposes, except where stated in their own policies.
- Mailchimp (Intuit Inc.) – mailing list.
- Google (Analytics, Fonts) – analytics (with consent) and fonts.
- Netlify – website hosting.
- jQuery CDN – a script needed by the signup form.
Some of these providers are based in the United States. Where your information is transferred outside the UK, this relies on safeguards approved under UK data protection law, such as the UK Extension to the EU–US Data Privacy Framework or standard contractual clauses. We do not sell your information.
How long we keep it
Mailing list details are kept until you unsubscribe or ask us to delete them. Analytics data is kept for no more than 14 months. Hosting logs are kept by Netlify for a short period under its own policy.
Your rights
You can ask us for a copy of the information we hold about you, to correct it, to delete it, to restrict or object to how we use it, and to receive it in a portable format. Where we rely on consent you can withdraw it at any time. To exercise any right, email hello@heatforhealth.org.
If you are unhappy with how we handle your information, you can complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office at ico.org.uk/make-a-complaint or on 0303 123 1113. We would appreciate the chance to put things right first.
