Privacy at Union Creative: What the Site Collects, and Why
This privacy page explains what Union Creative collects when someone reads it or uses one of its free tools, which is very little. The site sets no cookies, runs no analytics and has no accounts or forms. The only records are the ordinary request logs any web server keeps, and questions go to a single email address.
What Union Creative collects
Union Creative is a reading site. It has no accounts, sign-up forms, comments or newsletter, and it sets no cookies. It uses no analytics, advertising trackers or social media widgets, and its fonts, images and scripts are served from its own address. Reading a page therefore sends nothing about the visit to any third party at all.
Server logs
Like any website, the server that delivers these pages and the delivery network in front of it record basic details of each request: the IP address, the file asked for, the time, the browser’s user agent and the referring page. These logs exist to deliver the site, stop abuse and fix errors, and are not used for anything else.
The free design tools
The palette, contrast, halftone, brand kit and other tools run entirely in the browser. Anything typed or chosen in a tool, including a picture in the halftone generator, is processed on the device that opened the page and is never sent to the server. Downloads are created on the device too, and closing the tab clears everything the tool held.
Embedded charts and links to sources
Some data reports offer an embed code for their charts. When another website shows one of these charts, the reader’s browser requests it from this site, and that request appears in the server logs like any other page view. Links to sources lead to other websites, which follow their own privacy practices and are not controlled by this site.
Contact and requests
Questions about privacy, and requests to see, correct or delete information connected to a visit, can be sent to the operator of this site at [email protected]. The operator answers within 30 days. Readers in Canada can also contact the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada, and readers in Europe their national data protection authority.
Changes to this page
This page describes how the site works on the date shown at the top. If the site ever starts using a service that handles visitor data, such as analytics or a newsletter, this page will be updated before that service goes live, and the date at the top will change with it, so the current text always matches the site.
Questions about privacy
Does Union Creative use cookies?
No. The site sets no cookies of its own and loads no third-party scripts that could set them. Its fonts, images and scripts are all served from the site's own address, so reading a page or using a tool does not involve any advertising, analytics or social media service.
Are pictures used in the halftone generator uploaded?
No. The halftone generator processes a chosen picture inside the browser on the device that opened the page. Nothing is sent to the server, and the downloaded print is created on the device as well. Closing or reloading the tab clears the picture from the tool.
How can personal information be seen, corrected or deleted?
Write to [email protected] and say which information the request is about, for example a request that reached the site's server on a given date. The operator of the site will answer within 30 days, the period Canadian privacy law sets for access requests.
Where can a privacy complaint be made?
Write to [email protected] first, so the question can be answered directly. Readers in Canada can also contact the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada. Readers in the European Union or the United Kingdom can contact the data protection authority in their own country.
