Privacy policy

Last reviewed 15 November 2026

Freighthub is a static editorial site. It has no accounts, no forms, no newsletter, no comments and no analytics script. That removes most of the data a typical publisher collects — but not all of it. This page states exactly what remains, why it is processed, how long it is kept, and what you can require us to do with it.

1. Who is responsible for your data

The operator of Freighthub is the data controller for the processing described here. Contact for any privacy question or request:[email protected].

The site does not currently publish a company registration number or a postal address; that position is stated on the contact page rather than filled with a placeholder. If a legal entity is established, its name and address will be added here and to the contact page before any other change is made.

2. What is processed, and why

Category	When	Purpose	Legal basis
Server logs: IP address, user agent, requested URL, referrer, timestamp, response status	Every request, generated by the hosting and CDN provider	Deliver pages, keep the service available, detect and block abuse	Legitimate interest in operating a secure service
Email address and message content	When you write to the editorial desk	Answer the question, investigate a correction, keep a correspondence trail	Legitimate interest; consent where you volunteer sensitive detail
Any personal detail you choose to include in that email	At your discretion	Understand and answer the question	Consent, withdrawable at any time

No account data, payment data, advertising identifiers, precise location, contact lists or cross-site tracking data are collected, because none of those features exist on the site.

3. What is not collected

No analytics or measurement script (no Google Analytics, no Matomo, no Plausible).
No advertising or retargeting pixel, and no advertising identifiers.
No session recording, heatmap or A/B testing tool.
No account, login, comment, newsletter or contact form — email is the only channel.
No data is sold, rented or shared with data brokers.

4. Cookies and similar technologies

The site sets no cookies of its own. The hosting provider may set a short-lived security cookie to distinguish browsers from automated traffic; it is essential to serving the site and is not used for profiling. The full position, including how to block it, is on thecookie page.

5. Retention

Data	Retention	Why
Server logs	The short operational window configured at the hosting and CDN provider; not exported or archived by Freighthub	Security and availability; there is no editorial use for them
Editorial correspondence	Up to 24 months from the last message, then deleted	So that a correction or a query can be traced
Published corrections	Retained indefinitely in the public log	Accuracy and accountability; personal data is included only with consent

6. Who receives data

Data is shared only with the providers needed to run the site: the static hosting and CDN provider, and the email provider that receives editorial mail. Those providers process data on documented instructions and under their own standard terms. No other recipient is authorised.

A provider may process data outside your country. Where that happens, the transfer relies on the provider's standard contractual clauses or an equivalent safeguard, and only the minimum data needed to deliver the service is transferred.

7. Security

The site is served over HTTPS with HSTS enabled and a content security policy. It runs as static files: there is no application database, no login system and no stored user content to breach. Access to the publishing repository and the editorial mailbox is limited to the operator and protected by multi-factor authentication.

8. Your rights

Right	What it means here
Access	Ask what personal data is held about you — in practice, correspondence and any log entry that can still be linked to you.
Rectification	Ask for an inaccurate email record to be corrected.
Erasure	Ask for correspondence to be deleted, subject to the need to keep a correction trail.
Restriction	Ask that correspondence be kept but not used while a dispute is resolved.
Objection	Object to processing based on legitimate interest; the request is balanced against the security need.
Portability	Ask for correspondence you supplied in a machine-readable format.
Withdraw consent	Where processing relies on consent, withdraw it at any time without affecting prior processing.
Complain	Lodge a complaint with the supervisory authority in your country of residence or work.

Requests are answered within 30 days. Identity may need to be verified where the request concerns correspondence; no fee is charged for a first request.

9. Children

The site is written for a professional audience and is not directed at children. It does not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under 16.

10. Changes to this policy

Material changes are dated at the top of this page and, where they affect what is collected or why, are also recorded on the corrections page. The previous version remains in the repository history.
