In short

This site collects nothing. It sets no cookies, runs no analytics, and loads nothing from anyone else.

What this site does

This notice describes this website as it actually is today, not a general policy borrowed from a site that does more.

Cookies: None — this site sets no cookies of any kind. There is no consent banner because there is nothing to consent to.
Analytics: None — no analytics product, no tag manager, no pixel, no session recording, no heat mapping.
Third-party content: None — no web fonts, no embedded video, no social widgets, no advertising, no external scripts. Every file the browser loads comes from this domain.
Accounts: None — there is nothing to sign up for and no password to store.
Forms: None — the site has no form fields. Contact is by email, telephone, or post.
Payments: None — no payment is taken on this site, so no card or bank detail is collected, transmitted, or stored.

What is collected, and by whom

By the company: only what you send. If you write to Monark Commerce by email, the company holds your email address, your name if you give it, and whatever is in your message. That is used to answer you and for the company's own records. Nothing else is collected.

By the host: standard request data. This site is served by Cloudflare. Like any web host, Cloudflare processes technical data about each request — including the IP address the request came from, the browser's user-agent string, and the time — in order to deliver the page and to protect the site from attack and abuse. Monark Commerce does not use this data to identify or profile visitors.

By the email provider. Email sent to the company is received and stored by the company's business email provider so that it can be read and replied to.

What is never done

Personal data is never sold, rented, or traded.
Personal data is never shared for advertising, and never used to build a profile or an audience segment.
No marketing email is sent to an address that has not asked for it. Writing to the company is not a subscription.
No data is collected from children, and this site is not directed at them.

Correspondence is kept only as long as it is useful for answering the enquiry and for the company's own business records, and is then deleted.

Making a request about your personal data

You can ask what Monark Commerce holds about you, ask for it to be corrected, or ask for it to be deleted. Write to admin@monarkcommerce.com. Requests are answered within two business days.

Because the only personal data the company holds is what you sent it, a request is usually answered by finding your correspondence and acting on it. The company may need to confirm that you are the person who sent it before deleting anything.

Requests are free. There is no form to fill in and no account to close.

When this notice changes

This notice will have to change when the company begins selling — taking payment means handling order and payment data, and that will be described here before it happens rather than afterwards. Any such change will be published on this page.

Monark Commerce LLC is the party responsible for the personal data described above. It can be reached at the address on the contact page.
