Privacy

Last updated 14 November 2026.

Who we are. Chippy Chimp is made by Scott Bubb and Scott Jones in Gloucester. If you have a question about your data, email chippychimp@yahoo.co.uk.

What this site collects. Nothing you type in. There are no forms, accounts or mailing lists, and we keep no database of visitors. We don't use analytics or advertising cookies.

Visitor analytics. We use Lovable's cookie-free visitor analytics. It uses no cookies, stores nothing on your device, doesn't keep IP addresses and doesn't identify visitors. It records the pages visited, where visitors came from, their country, browser, operating system and device type, how long they stay, how fast pages load, errors, and clicks on buttons and links. These are recorded for every visitor. Detailed data is kept for 90 days and daily summaries for a year. Lovable collects this data for us. Lovable's privacy policy explains how it handles it.

When you visit. The site is hosted by Lovable. Like any web host, it handles your IP address to send you the pages and may keep it in its server logs to keep the site running and secure. Hosting may set technical cookies, including __dpl. Cloudflare, which helps deliver and protect the site, also sets a bot-protection cookie called __cf_bm. Episode pictures load from YouTube's image servers, so YouTube sees your IP address when they load. Fonts and uploaded pictures and video loops are delivered through the site's hosting and asset services, which receive your IP address to send those files.

When you press play. YouTube's player and scripts do not load until you press play on an episode. When you do, YouTube's player loads and YouTube sets its own cookies. Google's privacy policy covers that: policies.google.com/privacy. Your playback position is saved in your browser so you can carry on later; it isn't sent to us. If an episode has an audio stream, its audio provider receives your IP address when you play it.

If you email or message us. We get your name, your email address or Instagram handle, and whatever you write. Our email is with Yahoo. We only use it to reply and to talk about what you asked about, and we delete it when we no longer need it. Instagram receives messages sent through Instagram. Links to other social and podcast services take you to those services, where their own privacy policies apply.

Why we're allowed to. Running the site and replying to you are our legitimate interests. Some of the companies above handle data outside the UK.

Your rights. You can ask what we hold about you, or ask us to correct or delete it, by emailing chippychimp@yahoo.co.uk. If you're not happy with how we've handled it, you can complain to the Information Commissioner's Office at ico.org.uk.
