Data Protection Legislation Overview – May 2018

This website adheres to the DPA (Data Protection Act 1998) and is fully compliant with the GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation), which became effective on May 25, 2018. We will revise this policy in line with the conclusion of the UK’s withdrawal from the European Union.

Email Mailing List & Marketing Messages

I manage an email mailing list designed to keep subscribers informed about the products, services, and news I offer. Users can join through an automated online process, where they provide explicit consent via a double opt-in method. Subscribers have the option to unsubscribe at any time using the automated online service by clicking the ‘unsubscribe’ link located in the footer of my marketing emails or by reaching out to [email protected].

The nature and content of the marketing messages that subscribers receive, including the possibility of third-party content, is clearly stated at the time of subscription.

Email marketing communications may incorporate tracking beacons, clickable links, or similar server technologies to monitor subscriber interactions within the emails. If utilized, these messages may track a variety of subscriber data related to engagement, geography, demographics, and previously stored subscriber information.

Social Media Policy & Guidelines

We maintain official profiles on various social media platforms; however, we encourage users to verify the authenticity of these profiles before interacting or sharing information. Under no circumstances will we request user passwords or personal information through social media. We ask that users behave respectfully when communicating with us on these platforms.

Our website may include social sharing buttons that allow users to share content directly from our pages to their social media accounts. The use of these buttons is at your own risk, and by using them, you acknowledge that the content may be published on your social media feed or page. For additional information about social media privacy and usage policies, please refer to the resources section below.

Who we share your data with

We do not sell your data. Your data is shared for payment processing and analytics tracking purposes only.

How long we retain your data

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognise and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.

For users that register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.

What rights you have over your data

If you have an account on this site, or have left comments, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes. Please visit this link.

Where we send your data

Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
