Privacy Policy

1. Who we are

This website is operated by Manifest Group Limited ("Etc. Collective", "we", "us") of 8–14 Vine Hill, London, EC1R 5DX, United Kingdom. We are the data controller responsible for your personal data in connection with this website.

2. What data we collect

We collect the following categories of personal data:

• Information you give us: when you email us at hello@etc-collective.com or use a contact link, we receive your email address, name, and the content of your message.
• Usage data: when you visit the site, we automatically collect technical information such as your IP address, browser type, device, and pages visited, via analytics (see section 6).

3. How we use your data

We use your personal data to respond to your enquiries, to operate and improve the website, and to understand how visitors use the site.

4. Legal basis for processing

Under the UK GDPR, we rely on the following legal bases: our legitimate interests in responding to enquiries and operating the website; and your consent where required (for example, for non-essential analytics cookies).

5. Sharing your data

We do not sell your personal data. We may share it with service providers who help us operate the site (for example, Netlify for website hosting and Google Analytics for usage analytics), and where required by law.

6. Cookies and analytics

This site uses Google Analytics to understand how visitors use it, which sets cookies on your device. You can control or block cookies through your browser settings.

7. Data retention

We keep your personal data only for as long as necessary for the purposes set out above: enquiry correspondence for as long as needed to deal with your query and a reasonable period afterwards, and usage analytics in line with our analytics provider's retention settings.

8. International transfers

Some of our service providers may process data outside the UK. Where this happens, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place — such as UK-approved standard contractual clauses or an adequacy decision — as required by UK data protection law.

9. Your rights

Under the UK GDPR you have the right to access, correct, erase, restrict, or object to the processing of your personal data, and the right to data portability. To exercise any of these rights, contact us at hello@etc-collective.com. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) at ico.org.uk.
