Privacy Policy

Last updated: August 2026

Live Barrington Coast is committed to protecting your privacy. 

This policy explains what information we collect, how we use it and how we keep it safe.

What information we collect

We collect personal information only when you choose to provide it, for example when you subscribe to our newsletter, contact us via our contact form or enquire about advertising. This may include your name, email address and a general sense of your location or interests.

We also collect basic, anonymous data about how visitors use our site through Google Analytics. This includes pages visited, time spent on the site and general geographic location. This data is aggregated and never linked to your personal identity.

Like most websites, we use cookies, small text files stored on your device that help the site remember your preferences and improve your experience. You can disable cookies in your browser settings at any time, though some site features may not work as well as a result.

How we use your information

We use your information only for the purpose it was provided. If you subscribe to our newsletter, we use your email to send you that newsletter. If you contact us, we use your details to respond to you. We do not use your information for any other purpose without your consent.

Newsletter and email communications

Our newsletter is managed through EmailOctopus, a third-party email marketing platform. When you subscribe, your email address and name are stored securely by EmailOctopus on our behalf. EmailOctopus may use tracking pixels in emails to record whether emails are opened and links are clicked.

You can opt out of this tracking by disabling images in your email client. You can unsubscribe from our newsletter at any time using the unsubscribe link in every email we send. For more information on how EmailOctopus handles data, visit emailoctopus.com/legal/privacy.

Advertising

This website carries display advertising sold directly to local businesses and managed through Advanced Ads, a WordPress ad management plugin. Advanced Ads itself does not collect or store personal information. However, individual advertisers may use their own tracking technologies, such as pixels or cookies, to measure the performance of their ads. We do not control or have access to any data collected by individual advertisers through their own tools.

Some advertising on this site is sold as sponsored or advertorial content, meaning it is produced in partnership with a paying advertiser. All such content is clearly labelled. We do not allow advertising content to influence our independent editorial coverage.

What we don’t do

We do not sell, rent or share your personal information with third parties for marketing purposes. We do not send unsolicited emails. We do not collect sensitive personal information.

Third party links

Our website contains links to other websites, including local businesses and tourism operators. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those external sites and encourage you to read their policies where relevant.

Your rights

You have the right to access, correct or request deletion of any personal information we hold about you. To do so, simply get in touch via our contact page.

Changes to this policy

We may update this privacy policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or legal obligations. The date at the top of this page indicates when it was last reviewed.
