The Woodwork Bench / Field notes & guides
Privacy Policy
This notice explains how The Woodwork Bench handles information when you visit our website or follow an affiliate link.
Last updated: 27 September 2026.
Who operates this website?
The Woodwork Bench is operated by an individual publisher based in the United Kingdom. For privacy questions, contact contact@thewoodworkbench.com.
Information we may receive
When you visit the website, the hosting provider may process technical information such as your IP address, browser type, pages requested, timestamps and error or security logs. This information is used to deliver the website, maintain security and diagnose technical problems. We may receive information you voluntarily send when contacting us, such as your name, email address and message.
The current static website does not contain an account registration, checkout or newsletter subscription form. We do not collect card details on this website. If these features are added, this policy will need updating.
Why we use information
We use website and security logs to operate, protect and troubleshoot the website. We use information in enquiries to respond to the person who contacted us. The usual lawful basis for necessary site operation and security is our legitimate interest in running a safe and functional website; responding to an enquiry may rely on legitimate interests or steps requested before entering a contract, depending on the enquiry. Where consent is required for a particular technology, we will request it before enabling that technology.
Affiliate links and external websites
Some links are affiliate links, including links to ClickBank and Ted’s Woodworking. These links may include a campaign or page identifier so referrals can be attributed. When you click an affiliate link, you leave this website and the destination and affiliate-network operators may process information under their own privacy and cookie policies. A free-plan signup or purchase on Ted’s website is handled by that operator, not by The Woodwork Bench. Read the destination website’s privacy notice before submitting information.
We may earn a commission if a qualifying purchase follows an affiliate referral. See our Affiliate Disclosure.
Cookies and similar technologies
This version of the site does not deliberately load third-party analytics, advertising pixels or embedded marketing widgets. Your hosting provider may use essential technologies needed to deliver or secure the site. Affiliate networks or merchants may use cookies or similar technologies after you click through to their websites; their own notices explain those practices.
If we add non-essential analytics, advertising or tracking technologies on this site, we will update this notice and implement an appropriate consent choice before using them where required. Merely publishing this policy does not replace a cookie-consent mechanism when one is required.
Who receives information?
Website hosting and technical service providers may process server logs on our behalf. Affiliate networks and merchants process referral and purchase information on their own websites when you choose to follow a link. We do not sell contact enquiries to advertisers. We may disclose information where legally required.
Retention and international processing
Hosting and security logs are retained according to the hosting provider’s configured retention settings. Enquiries are kept only as long as reasonably needed to answer them and manage any follow-up, subject to legal obligations. Some service providers or affiliate destinations may process information outside the UK; consult their notices for details of their transfer arrangements.
Your privacy rights
Depending on the circumstances and applicable law, you may have rights to access, correct or erase your personal data; restrict or object to processing; and request portability. Where processing relies on consent, you can withdraw it. To make a request, use our Contact page. You can also complain to the UK Information Commissioner’s Office at ico.org.uk.
Changes to this policy
We will update this notice if the site’s features, providers or data practices change. The date at the top identifies the latest version.
