Privacy Policy

Last updated: 18 August 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how personal information is processed in connection with CocoaIntel.

Data Controller

CocoaIntel is currently an independent publication operated by:

Georgi Uzunov
Bulgaria
Email: hello@cocoaintel.com

For the purposes of applicable data-protection legislation, including the General Data Protection Regulation ("GDPR"), the individual identified above is the data controller for personal data processed in connection with CocoaIntel, except where another service provider acts as an independent controller for its own purposes.

Information We May Collect

Depending on how you interact with CocoaIntel, personal data may include:

your email address;
your name, if voluntarily provided;
your membership or newsletter subscription status;
communications you send to CocoaIntel;
information relating to newsletter delivery and engagement;
technical information necessary for website security and operation;
website usage and analytics information; and
other information that you voluntarily provide.

CocoaIntel does not currently process payment-card information because it does not presently offer paid subscriptions.

If you subscribe to a CocoaIntel newsletter or register as a free member, your email address and associated membership information are processed for the purpose of delivering the requested publications and administering your subscription.

The primary legal basis for sending a newsletter that you have requested is your consent.

You may withdraw your consent at any time by using the unsubscribe function included in newsletter communications or by contacting CocoaIntel.

Withdrawal of consent does not affect processing that was lawful before consent was withdrawn.

Communications

If you contact CocoaIntel, the information contained in your communication may be processed in order to respond to your enquiry, maintain appropriate records and protect CocoaIntel's legitimate interests where necessary.

Website Analytics

CocoaIntel uses Google Analytics to understand how visitors interact with the website, including information such as pages viewed, general usage patterns, traffic sources and engagement with published content.

Google Analytics is provided by Google and may use cookies or similar technologies where the visitor has provided the required consent.

Analytics cookies are not intended to be activated for visitors subject to consent requirements until the visitor has chosen to allow analytics cookies through CocoaIntel's cookie consent mechanism.

Analytics information is used to understand readership, measure website performance and improve CocoaIntel's publications and website.

Where applicable, consent may be withdrawn at any time through the website's cookie settings.

Further information is available in the CocoaIntel Cookie Policy.

Service Providers

CocoaIntel uses third-party service providers to operate and distribute the publication.

These may include website hosting, content-management, newsletter-delivery, analytics, security and technical-service providers.

In particular, CocoaIntel uses the Ghost publishing platform for website and newsletter functionality.

Service providers may process personal data on behalf of CocoaIntel where necessary to provide their services.

International Processing

Some service providers or their support functions may process information outside the country in which a reader is located.

Where applicable, personal data will be handled subject to the safeguards required by applicable data-protection law.

Data Retention

Personal information is retained only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected and to meet applicable legal, security and recordkeeping requirements.

Newsletter and membership information will generally be retained while you remain subscribed or maintain an active membership.

If you unsubscribe, information necessary to respect your unsubscribe request may be retained where appropriate.

Correspondence may be retained for a reasonable period where necessary for recordkeeping, security, dispute resolution or legal purposes.

Your Rights

Subject to the conditions and limitations provided by applicable law, you may have the right to:

obtain information about the processing of your personal data;
request access to your personal data;
request correction of inaccurate information;
request deletion of personal data;
request restriction of processing;
object to certain processing;
receive certain personal data in a portable format; and
withdraw consent where processing is based on consent.

Requests may be submitted to hello@cocoaintel.com.

You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the competent data-protection supervisory authority.

For individuals in Bulgaria, the supervisory authority is the Commission for Personal Data Protection (CPDP).

Every newsletter should provide an unsubscribe mechanism.

You may unsubscribe from CocoaIntel communications at any time using that mechanism.

Security

Reasonable technical and organisational measures are used to protect personal data against unauthorised access, loss, alteration or disclosure.

No internet-based service can guarantee absolute security.

Children

CocoaIntel is a specialist financial and commodity-market publication and is not intentionally directed at children.

CocoaIntel does not knowingly seek to collect personal data from children.

This Privacy Policy may be updated when CocoaIntel's services, technology or legal obligations change.

The date shown at the beginning of the Policy indicates the latest revision.
