Privacy Policy

Whitebrook participates in affiliate advertising programmes. This means that some of the links on this site are affiliate links — if you click one and make a purchase, we may earn a small commission at no additional cost to you.

We are a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Programme, an affiliate advertising programme designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon.com and affiliated sites.

We also participate in other affiliate programmes from time to time. Affiliate relationships do not influence our editorial content — we only recommend products and services we genuinely believe in and that align with the Whitebrook aesthetic and values. All opinions are our own.

Affiliate links are used in compliance with the FTC's guidelines on endorsements and testimonials. We do not write sponsored posts unless clearly labelled as such.

We collect information in the following ways:

Information you provide voluntarily

• Newsletter sign-up: If you subscribe to our newsletter, we collect your email address. You can unsubscribe at any time via the link in any email we send.
• Contact: If you contact us directly, we collect your name, email address, and any message content you include.

Information collected automatically

• Log data: Like most websites, our servers automatically record certain information when you visit, including your IP address, browser type, operating system, referring URLs, pages viewed, and timestamps.
• Cookies: We use cookies and similar tracking technologies to improve your experience and analyse site traffic. See Section 4 for details.
• Analytics: We use analytics services (such as Google Analytics) to understand how visitors use the site. These services may collect information about your visits, including the pages you view and the links you click. This data is aggregated and does not personally identify you.

We use the information we collect to:

• Operate, maintain, and improve the Whitebrook website.
• Send you our newsletter and other updates, if you have subscribed.
• Respond to your comments, questions, and requests.
• Monitor and analyse usage and trends to improve your experience.
• Comply with legal obligations.

We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information to third parties.

Cookies are small text files placed on your device by websites you visit. We use the following types of cookies:

• Essential cookies: Required for the site to function correctly. These cannot be disabled.
• Analytics cookies: Help us understand how visitors interact with the site (e.g., Google Analytics). These are used in aggregate form only.
• Affiliate cookies: When you click an affiliate link, the retailer may set a cookie to track the referral. This is governed by the retailer's own privacy policy.

You can control cookies through your browser settings. Disabling cookies may affect the functionality of certain parts of the site. For more information about cookies, visit allaboutcookies.org.

Whitebrook contains links to external websites and affiliate retailers. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of those sites. We encourage you to read the privacy policies of any third-party site you visit. The presence of a link does not constitute an endorsement beyond the product or service specifically linked.

We use Google Analytics to help us understand how our audience uses the site. Google Analytics collects information such as how often users visit the site, what pages they visit, and what other sites they used prior to arriving. We use this information to improve the site.

Google's ability to use and share information collected by Google Analytics about your visits is restricted by the Google Analytics Terms of Service and Google's Privacy Policy. You can opt out of Google Analytics by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

We retain personal information (such as email addresses collected via newsletter sign-up) for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes described in this policy, or until you request deletion. Analytics data is retained in accordance with the retention settings of the respective analytics service.

Depending on your location, you may have certain rights regarding your personal data, including:

• The right to access the personal data we hold about you.
• The right to request correction of inaccurate personal data.
• The right to request deletion of your personal data.
• The right to withdraw consent (e.g., unsubscribe from our newsletter) at any time.

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us using the details in Section 10.

Whitebrook is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child under 13 has provided us with personal information, please contact us so we can delete it.

If you have any questions about this Privacy Policy or wish to exercise your rights, please contact us at:

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the “Last updated” date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this policy periodically to stay informed about how we are protecting your information. Your continued use of the site after any changes constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy.
