Privacy

Short, because almost nothing is collected.

This notice covers the HalfCalf website and correspondence. Last revised 1 May 2026.

What is collected

  • Correspondence: whatever you type into the contact form or send by email.
  • Server logs: address, page, time and user agent, for security and capacity.
  • Nothing else. No analytics script, no advertising tag, no social widget, no cookie set by this site, no newsletter list, no account to create.

What is never done

Your correspondence is not shared with dealers, auction houses or anyone else. Nothing here is sold or rented. There is no mailing list to be added to, so there is nothing to unsubscribe from.
