Privacy Policy

Tide Times Today is a small, independent website operated by Lovell Media Ltd, 128 City Road, London. This policy explains what information we collect when you use the site and how we use it. We keep it simple — this is a free tide times service and we have no interest in collecting more data than we need.

What we collect

Usage data

When you visit the site, our hosting infrastructure (Vercel) automatically logs standard server data: your IP address, browser type, the pages you visit, and the time of your visit. This is standard for any website and is used only to monitor performance and fix errors. We do not use this data to identify or track individual users.

Cookies

We use cookies in the following limited ways:

• Google AdSense — we display adverts to support the cost of running the site. Google uses cookies to serve relevant ads. You can opt out of personalised advertising via Google's Ad Settings or by using a browser extension such as uBlock Origin.
• Analytics — we may use basic, privacy-friendly analytics to understand which pages are popular. No personally identifiable information is stored.

You can disable cookies in your browser settings at any time. The tide times content on this site will continue to work without cookies.

What we don't do

• We do not require you to create an account or provide any personal information to use the site.
• We do not sell your data to third parties.
• We do not send marketing emails.
• We do not collect sensitive personal information.

The site uses the following third-party services, each with their own privacy policies:

Your rights

Under UK GDPR, you have the right to access, correct, or request deletion of any personal data we hold about you. As we collect very little data and none of it is tied to your identity, there is typically nothing to access or delete. If you have a specific concern, please contact us.

This site is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children.
