Slate Living is committed to protecting your personal data and respecting your privacy. This policy describes how we collect, use, and safeguard your information when you visit this website.
Our approach to privacy
We aim to collect the minimum amount of data necessary to operate this site and to be fully transparent about what we do with it. We never sell your personal information, and we never will.
Information we process
When you browse Slate Living, the following data is automatically collected:
- Technical information: Your IP address, browser type and version, operating system, screen resolution, and device type.
- Usage information: The pages you visit, the time and date of your visit, the duration spent on each page, and the website that referred you here.
- Advertising identifiers: Third‑party advertising networks place cookies and similar tracking technologies on your device. These collect pseudonymous identifiers such as cookie IDs and device advertising IDs, along with information about your browsing activity across different websites.
We do not require you to register, create an account, or provide any directly identifying personal information (such as your name, email address, or phone number) to use this site. The only exception is if you voluntarily contact us via email, in which case we will have access to your email address and whatever information you choose to include in your message.
Legal basis for processing (EU/EEA visitors)
For individuals located in the European Economic Area, we rely on the following legal bases under the General Data Protection Regulation:
- Legitimate interest (Article 6(1)(f)): We process server log data (IP address, browser information, pages visited) because we have a legitimate interest in maintaining the security and stability of the website, understanding how visitors engage with our content at an aggregated level, and preventing fraud.
- Consent (Article 6(1)(a)): Advertising cookies and similar tracking technologies are only placed and accessed after you have given your consent. You can withdraw your consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing carried out before the withdrawal.
Data sharing and disclosure
We share your personal data only in the following limited circumstances:
- Advertising networks: Pseudonymous cookie data is shared with third‑party advertising partners to enable interest‑based advertising and to provide aggregated campaign analytics. These partners act as independent data controllers for the cookie data they collect and are subject to their own privacy policies.
- Hosting and infrastructure providers: Our server logs are processed by our hosting provider, which acts as a data processor under a binding agreement that prohibits the use of your data for any other purpose.
- Legal requirements: We may disclose your information if compelled to do so by law, court order, or governmental authority.
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal data. We do not share your data with any third party for their own direct marketing purposes.

Security
We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your personal data against accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorized disclosure, or access. Measures include TLS encryption for data in transit, access controls, and regular security assessments.
International transfers
Your personal data may be transferred to and processed in countries outside the European Economic Area, including the United States, where our advertising partners operate. When such transfers occur, we ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place, including Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the European Commission.
