Privacy Policy

A plain-language overview of the information Off the Couch may receive when you use the website and how that information is handled.

Information you choose to provide

If you use a contact or enquiry form, the website may receive information such as your name, email address, enquiry type and message. If you subscribe to an email feature, the information requested by that form may also be collected for that purpose.

Technical information

Like most websites, hosting, security, analytics or performance tools may process technical information needed to operate the site, such as browser, device, IP or request information. The exact data available depends on the services enabled on the website.

How information may be used

  • To respond to messages or enquiries.
  • To operate, secure and maintain the website.
  • To deliver a requested subscription or communication.
  • To understand and improve how the website is used, where relevant tools are enabled.

Third-party services

The site may rely on hosting, email, security, analytics or embedded-media providers. Those services can have their own privacy practices. External websites linked from Off the Couch are also responsible for their own privacy policies.

Retention and access

Information should be kept only as long as reasonably needed for the purpose for which it was received, legal obligations, security or record-keeping. If you have a privacy question about information you submitted through the site, use the Contact page.

Updates to this policy

This policy may be updated as the website, forms or third-party services change. Material changes should be reflected on this page.

Privacy principle

Collect only what the interaction requires.

Forms should ask for information that has a clear purpose.
