Your privacy

The short version: this website does not use cookies, analytics or advertising trackers, and you do not need an account to use it. If you contact us, we use your details only to reply.

Who we are

Carib Stew is a Caribbean history and culture project developing a future app. This website, caribstew.com, is built and run by Iere Apps Ltd, a company registered in England and Wales (company number 17551125), registered office 71-75 Shelton Street, Covent Garden, London WC2H 9JQ. Iere Apps Ltd is responsible for any personal information handled through this website. In this notice, “we” means Carib Stew and Iere Apps Ltd.

You can reach us about anything on this page through the contact section or by email at hello@caribstew.com.

What happens when you visit

The site is hosted by Vercel. Like any web host, Vercel processes basic technical information to deliver pages and keep the service secure, such as your IP address, the type of browser and device you use, the page you asked for and the time of the request. This is held in short-lived server logs under Vercel's own privacy terms. We do not use this information to identify you.

We do not use cookies, analytics tools, advertising trackers or social media plugins. Our fonts are served from this website, so your browser does not contact a font provider. The flag quiz runs entirely in your browser and nothing you choose is sent to us.

If you contact us

When you send a message through our contact form, we receive:

• your name
• your email address
• your message, and anything you choose to include in it

The form sends your message to our inbox by email, using a service called Resend. We do not store messages in a website database. We use your details only to read and reply to your message, and we will not add you to a mailing list. We keep correspondence only for as long as we need it to deal with your enquiry and any follow-up, and no longer than 24 months.

We rely on our legitimate interest in responding to people who contact us. Please do not include sensitive personal information in your message.

Who else handles your information

• Vercel, which hosts the website.
• Resend, which delivers contact form messages to our inbox.
• Our email provider, which stores our inbox.

These providers act on our behalf. Some of them may process information outside the UK and European Economic Area, under contractual safeguards recognised by data protection law. We do not sell your information or share it with anyone for marketing.

Your rights

You can ask us for a copy of the personal information we hold about you, ask us to correct it or delete it, or object to how we use it. Contact us and we will respond within one month. If you are unhappy with how we have handled your information, you can complain to the data protection regulator where you live. In the UK, that is the Information Commissioner's Office (ico.org.uk).

Changes to this notice

If we add new features, such as the app or a mailing list, we will update this page before they go live and change the date at the top.
