Last updated: September 2, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how SUPLEATHER (“we”, “us”, or “our”) collects, uses, and protects information when you visit www.supleather.com (the “Site”). By using the Site, you agree to the practices described below. If you do not agree, please stop using the Site.

1. Who We Are

SUPLEATHER is an independent publisher of leather care, leather repair, and leatherworking guides and product reviews. We are the data controller for the personal information described in this policy. You can reach us at supleather91@gmail.com.

2. Information We Collect

2.1 Information you give us

  • Contact form: your name, email address, and the content of your message.
  • Newsletter: your email address, and your first name if you provide it.
  • Comments: the name, email address, and comment text you submit, plus your IP address and browser user agent (used for spam detection).

2.2 Information collected automatically

  • IP address and approximate location (country/city level)
  • Browser type, operating system, and device type
  • Pages viewed, time on page, referring website, and exit pages
  • Date and time of your visit

This data is collected through cookies and similar technologies, and through standard server logs.

We do not sell products directly on the Site, and we do not collect or store payment card details.

3. How We Use Your Information

  • To operate, maintain, and secure the Site
  • To reply to your questions and messages
  • To send newsletters or updates you have subscribed to
  • To understand how visitors use the Site and improve our content
  • To display advertising, including personalized advertising where permitted
  • To detect and prevent spam, abuse, and fraud
  • To comply with legal obligations

4. Legal Bases for Processing (EEA/UK Visitors)

Where the GDPR or UK GDPR applies, we rely on: your consent (for non-essential cookies, advertising, and marketing emails); our legitimate interests (site security, spam prevention, and basic audience measurement); and legal obligation where the law requires us to retain or disclose data. You may withdraw consent at any time.

5. Cookies and Similar Technologies

Cookies are small text files stored on your device. We use:

  • Essential cookies — required for the Site to function (for example, saving your cookie preferences).
  • Analytics cookies — help us count visits and understand which pages are useful.
  • Advertising cookies — used by advertising partners to show and measure ads.
  • Affiliate cookies — set by partner programs to credit us when you buy through our links.

You can block or delete cookies through your browser settings. Disabling some cookies may affect how parts of the Site work.

6. Third-Party Services

6.1 Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics to measure traffic and usage. Google may process this data on servers outside your country. See Google’s Privacy Policy. You can opt out with the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

6.2 Google AdSense and other advertising partners

We display advertising on the Site. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites. Google’s use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to our Site and/or other sites on the Internet. You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings or optout.aboutads.info.

6.3 Affiliate programs

The Site contains affiliate links, including links to the Amazon Associates Program and other partner programs. If you click one of these links and make a purchase, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. Affiliate partners may set cookies to track referrals. Purchases are made on the partner’s website and are governed by that partner’s own privacy policy — we never receive your payment details. See our Affiliate Disclosure for more.

6.4 Other providers

We also rely on our web hosting provider, our email/newsletter provider, and anti-spam services. These providers process data only as needed to deliver their service to us.

7. Embedded Content

Articles on the Site may include embedded content such as videos or images from other websites. Embedded content behaves exactly as if you had visited that other website, which may collect data about you, use cookies, and monitor your interaction with that content.

8. Sharing of Information

We do not sell or rent your personal information. We share it only with the service providers described above, and where required by law, or to protect our rights, safety, or property.

9. International Transfers

Our service providers may store or process data in countries outside your own, including the United States. Where required, such transfers rely on appropriate safeguards such as Standard Contractual Clauses.

10. Data Retention

  • Contact messages: kept while needed to handle your request, then deleted.
  • Newsletter subscriptions: kept until you unsubscribe.
  • Comments and their metadata: kept indefinitely so follow-up comments can be recognized and approved automatically.
  • Analytics data: kept according to our analytics provider’s retention settings.

11. Your Rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, delete, or receive a copy of your personal data; to object to or restrict processing; to withdraw consent; and to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information (we do not sell personal information). California residents have these rights under the CCPA/CPRA, and EEA/UK residents under the GDPR.

To exercise any right, email supleather91@gmail.com. We will respond within the timeframe required by applicable law. EEA/UK residents also have the right to complain to their local data protection authority.

12. Security

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures, including HTTPS encryption, to protect your information. However, no method of transmission or storage over the Internet is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

13. Children’s Privacy

The Site is not directed to children under 16, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, contact us and we will delete it.

14. External Links

The Site links to other websites we do not control. This Privacy Policy does not apply to those sites, and we are not responsible for their content or privacy practices. We encourage you to read their policies.

15. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The “Last updated” date at the top shows when it was last revised. Significant changes will be highlighted on this page.
