Privacy
Policy
Your privacy matters. This page explains how HempFabrica collects, uses, stores, and protects your information across our website, tools, guides, and newsletter.
Information We Collect
HempFabrica collects a limited amount of information in order to provide industry insights, improve our website, and deliver relevant guides and updates to subscribers. We collect only what is necessary for these purposes.
- Voluntary information — such as your email address when you subscribe to our newsletter or submit a contact form
- Website usage data — via analytics tools such as Google Analytics, including pages visited, time on site, and traffic sources
- Technical data — browser type, device type, and approximate IP address location, collected automatically by our server and analytics tools
- Affiliate link interactions — click data associated with affiliate links, used for tracking referrals and commissions with partner programmes
What we do not collect: We do not collect sensitive personal information, payment card details, financial data, government identification numbers, or any special-category personal data.
How We Use Your Information
Information collected is used strictly for the purposes of running and improving HempFabrica. We do not use your data for advertising profiling, sell it to third parties, or use it for any purpose unrelated to operating this website and its resources.
Specifically, we use data to:
- Improve our guides, tools, and educational content
- Understand how visitors interact with the site
- Send newsletters and new guide announcements to subscribers
- Track affiliate link performance for our partner programmes
- Ensure HempFabrica runs securely and correctly
- Respond to enquiries submitted via our contact form
Newsletter: If you subscribe to our newsletter, your email address is used solely to send you HempFabrica updates. We do not share subscriber lists with third parties for marketing purposes.
Cookies & Tracking Technologies
HempFabrica uses cookies — small text files stored in your browser — to support website functionality, analyse traffic, and enable affiliate tracking.
The types of cookies we use include:
- Analytics cookies — set by Google Analytics to measure traffic, page performance, and user behaviour in aggregate and anonymised form
- Affiliate tracking cookies — set when you click an affiliate link, enabling our partner programmes to attribute referrals and process commissions
- Functional cookies — used by WordPress and any embedded tools to remember preferences and maintain session state
You may disable or delete cookies at any time via your browser settings. Please be aware that disabling certain cookies may affect the functionality of some features on this site.
Third-Party Services
HempFabrica works with a small number of trusted third-party platforms to operate its website, analytics, and newsletter. Each of these services operates under its own privacy policy and data processing terms, which we encourage you to review.
- Google Analytics — used to measure website traffic and user behaviour. Data is collected in aggregate and anonymised form. You can opt out via the Google Analytics Opt-out Add-on.
- Email service provider — our newsletter is managed through a third-party email platform. Subscriber email addresses are stored on their servers in accordance with their data processing agreements.
- Affiliate networks — affiliate clicks and conversions are tracked via partner programmes. These networks may set their own cookies when you follow affiliate links from our site.
- WordPress and hosting — our website runs on WordPress. Our hosting provider processes server logs including IP addresses for security and performance purposes.
No control over third parties: HempFabrica does not control how these third-party services collect, store, or use data. Their privacy policies govern their practices independently of ours.
Affiliate Disclosure
Some links on HempFabrica.com are affiliate links. When you click one of these links and subsequently make a purchase, we may earn a small commission at no additional cost to you.
Affiliate tracking works through cookies placed when you click a link. These cookies enable our affiliate partners to attribute the referral to HempFabrica and process any commission due. By using this website, you acknowledge this functionality.
Editorial independence: Affiliate relationships do not influence our editorial content, the comparisons in our tools, or the recommendations in our guides. We link to products and services we believe are genuinely relevant — not based on commission rates.
Your Rights & Choices
Depending on your location, you may have rights under applicable data protection legislation, including the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA).
To exercise any of these rights, please email us at policy@hempfabrica.com. We will aim to respond within 30 days.
How We Protect Your Information
We use reasonable technical and administrative measures to protect your personal data from unauthorised access, loss, misuse, or disclosure. These include HTTPS encryption across the site, access controls on any subscriber data, and use of reputable, GDPR-compliant service providers.
Honest caveat: No online system can guarantee 100% security. While we follow industry best practices, we cannot provide an absolute guarantee against all possible data security incidents. In the unlikely event of a breach affecting your data, we will notify you in accordance with applicable law.
We retain personal data only for as long as is necessary for the purposes described in this policy, or as required by law. Newsletter subscriber data is retained until you unsubscribe; analytics data is typically retained for 14 months before being automatically deleted by Google Analytics.
Updates to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect changes in applicable regulations, the tools we use, our affiliate relationships, or the features of this website.
The most current version will always be available at hempfabrica.com/privacy-policy/. Where changes are significant, we will note the revision date at the top of this page.
Continued use of HempFabrica.com following any update to this policy constitutes your acceptance of the revised terms.
