What Information this Privacy Policy Covers

This Privacy Policy covers information we collect from you through our website and associated newsletter.

What Information We Collect

Website Analytics

When someone visits www.cultivatedmanagement.com we use a third party service, Google Analytics, to collect standard internet log information and details of visitor behaviour patterns.

We do this to find out things such as the number of visitors to the various parts of the site. This information is only processed in a way which does not identify anyone. We do not make, and do not allow Google to make, any attempt to find out the identities of those visiting our website. Please see Google’s Privacy and Compliance policies for more information.

We have configured Google to maintain this data for 14 months after which it will be deleted.

“The Manager” Newsletter

We use a third party email provider, Mailchimp, to deliver our weekly newsletter. We gather statistics around email opening and clicks using industry standard technologies including clear gifs to help us monitor and improve our e-newsletter. By signing up to the newsletter you will provide us with your email address, which we will only use to send our weekly newsletter.

Mailchimp’s servers are in the US, secured and Cultivated Management uses two-factor authentication to access Mailchimp. For more information, please see Mailchimp’s Privacy Policy.

If you have signed up for the newsletter we will periodically send you promotional emails about services which we think you may find interesting. You are able to unsubscribe at any time from right within the email.
