Privacy & Cookies
This site (sarahjanefield.com) is built on Cargo. Its connected site, Field Notes (sjffieldscribbles.uk), runs on WordPress and has a separate policy page: https://sjffieldscribbles.uk/privacy-policy/
This site is run by Sarah-Jane Field. For any question about information held here, or to exercise any of the rights described below, contact info@sarahjanefield.co.uk
Analytics
I don't run any analytics on this site. There are no tracking or measurement scripts of mine here, and no analytics cookies I control.
Field Notes uses Jetpack Stats, described in its own policy.
Cookies
Cargo, the platform this site is built on, sets its own cookies. These include functional ones needed for the site to display and work correctly, and cookies Cargo uses to estimate audience size and traffic for its own purposes. I have no access to that data and no way to switch those cookies off from within the site. Cargo's policy is at https://cargo.site/privacy
You can block or delete cookies through your browser settings.
This site loads fonts from Google Fonts. Doing so sends your IP address to Google, which is how the font files reach your browser. Google states it doesn't set cookies or use this to build advertising profiles, but the request itself is a transfer of personal data. Google's policy is at https://policies.google.com/privacy
Payments
Publications are sold through Stripe. Clicking a purchase link takes you to a checkout page hosted by Stripe, not by this site. No payment details are collected or stored here. Anything you enter at checkout is collected and processed by Stripe under its own privacy policy: https://stripe.com/gb/privacy
I receive only the information needed to fulfil and account for an order.
External links and platforms
Some projects and writing on this site link to or are hosted on third-party platforms. These sites operate under their own privacy and cookie policies, which are beyond my control. Please review the privacy policy of any external site you visit.
Lexison Submissions
A Lexicon submission form is hosted on Field Notes, not on this site. What it collects and how that information is handled is set out in the Field Notes policy.
Coming soon: Loud Thinking (interference figure)
The interactive interference figure, part of the work titled Loud Thinking, is hosted separately on Netlify and embedded in this site. If you draw a mark, lay a highlight, suggest a dot or reply to a query, the figure stores what you write, the name you give (a pseudonym is fine), when you added it, the settings it was made under, and a scrambled copy of the token described below. Earlier versions of a contribution may remain visible, struck through.
I use contributions as part of an ongoing research project and may cite them in publications, with the credit you gave. I rely on your consent for this, which you give when you submit. You can withdraw your consent at any time by contacting me; this doesn’t affect anything I did with your contribution before you withdrew it.
Your browser keeps one small token so that you can edit or remove your own contributions. It isn’t a cookie, isn’t used for tracking, and stays in your browser. Removing a contribution takes it out of view; to erase it completely, including every earlier version, contact me.
To prevent spam, the figure briefly processes a scrambled form of your IP address, which is deleted within 24 hours; the figure itself never stores the address. Netlify, which hosts the figure, keeps security logs that may include IP addresses for up to a year.
Contributions are kept for as long as the project runs and may be archived as part of its research record. I check new contributions regularly and hide or remove anything unlawful, harmful or off-topic. You can ask me to correct or erase anything you added by contacting info@sarahjanefield.co.uk. I can erase it from the figure and the archive, but not from anything already published.
Where your data goes
This site is hosted by Cargo, a US company, which stores data in US data centres and transfers it under standard contractual clauses. Cargo acts as a processor on my behalf and also collects some data for its own purposes, as set out in its policy. Stripe processes payments made through purchase links.
The interference figure is hosted by Netlify, Inc., a US company, which acts as a processor on my behalf and may not use the data for its own purposes. Transfers from the UK rely on the UK Extension to the EU-US Data Privacy Framework, with the UK International Data Transfer Addendum as a fallback.
Nothing collected through this site or the figure is sold, rented, or shared with anyone beyond the providers named here.

If you are unhappy with how I have handled your personal data, you can complain to me using the contact details above. I will acknowledge your complaint within 30 days and tell you the outcome as soon as I can.
You can also complain to the Information Commissioner's Office at ico.org.uk or on 0303 123 1113. You do not have to complain to me first.
Privacy and Cookies notices across sarahjanefield.com and Field Notes were generated with the help of a large language model, Claude by Anthropic, then checked and edited before publishing. From the 2nd of August, 2026, the EU's AI Act requires clear labelling of certain content produced using synthetic cognitive tools (commonly referred to as AI). While no equivalent legislation yet exists in the UK, disclosure of this kind is good practice and consistent with the aims of the projects on this site.
