Privacy Policy

Last updated: 18 May 2026

This privacy policy explains what data Chort (operated by Combustion Research Pte. Ltd., Singapore) collects via this site (chort.com), why we collect it, and your rights regarding it. We aim to keep this notice short and plain. If anything is unclear, email us at privacy@chort.com.

What we collect

Where you provide consent, we use Google Analytics cookies to gather information on how you use the site.

If you consent to our use of Google Analytics, we store:

  • What pages you visit on the site.
  • How long you spend on each page.
  • How you got to the site.
  • Anonymised location data.

We minimise the collection of personal data through Google Analytics and ensure you cannot be personally identified from Google Analytics data. We do not store IP addresses in Google Analytics and we do not combine Google Analytics data with any other data in a way that could directly identify you.

If you submit your email address through the signup form on this site, we store:

  • The email address you provided.
  • The fact that you confirmed consent, and the consent text shown to you at the time.
  • The date and time of submission.
  • The IP address and browser user-agent of the device that submitted the form, used solely for abuse prevention (e.g. detecting automated signups).

We do not collect any other personal information through this site.

Why we collect it

Our collection of data through Google Analytics is only undertaken with your consent. We use this data to improve the site's design, functionality, and performance. We do not collect any more data than is necessary for these purposes.

We use your email address to contact you about the upcoming Chort launch and related product news and offerings. The lawful basis for processing is your explicit consent (UK GDPR Article 6(1)(a)), which you provide by ticking the consent checkbox before submitting the form.

We do not share your email address with any third party. We will not transfer this data outside of our processors listed below.

How long we keep it

We retain your email address until either (a) you ask us to delete it, or (b) we conclude that contact is no longer relevant.

Where it's stored

Data collected through Google Analytics may be stored globally. Google may transfer data to the United States for processing. Where Google transfers the data of EU citizens outside of the EEA (European Economic Area), this happens in accordance with the EU-US Data Privacy Framework. Where Google transfers the data of UK citizens outside of the EEA, this happens in accordance with the UK-US Data Bridge.

Form submission data, submitted directly to Chort, is stored encrypted at rest on our AWS (Amazon Web Services) infrastructure in the European Union. AWS is our sole data processor for this purpose. Access to the database is restricted to Chort staff.

Cookies

Where you provide consent, we use Google Analytics which will place cookies in your browser.

Your browser may store cookies and small technical artefacts (such as those used by our content delivery network, AWS CloudFront, to optimise performance); these are strictly necessary for the site to function and contain no personal information.

Your rights

Under the EU GDPR and UK GDPR, you have the right to:

  • Request a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
  • Ask us to correct any data that's inaccurate or incomplete.
  • Ask us to delete your data ("the right to be forgotten").
  • Withdraw your consent at any time, after which we'll stop contacting you.
  • Lodge a complaint with your national data protection authority.

To exercise any of these rights, email privacy@chort.com from the address on file. We aim to respond within 7 days; we will respond within the 30-day window required by law.

Updates

We may update this policy from time to time. The "Last updated" date at the top reflects the most recent change.
