Third-party Links
The website and blog email updates may include contact details of third parties or links to third party websites. 

Contacting those third parties or clicking on those links may allow third parties to collect or share personal data about you. I do not control these third-parties and are not responsible for their privacy statements or processing activities.

 

When do I collect your personal data?
I collect, store, and use the following categories of personal data about you:

When you visit this website, Wix uses cookies in your web browser to collect data analytics such as the geolocation of visitors and which page of the website your are accessing.
When you sign up to receive my newsletter, I collect your email address.

If you send me a request for signed paperbacks, I collect your mailing address and email address.
If you send me an email about the website or blog or this privacy notice.
I do not collect any sensitive personal data (known as special category personal data in the General Data Protection Regulation 2016) about you such as details about your race or ethnicity, religious or philosophical beliefs, sex life, sexual orientation, political opinions, trade union membership, information about your health and genetic and biometric data. Nor do we collect any information about criminal convictions and offences.

 

How and why do I use your personal data?
This website and my newsletter were created to keep my readers up-to-date with the latest news.  To enable you to use the website and subscribe to my newsletter, I have to process some limited personal data about you. I will not process your personal data unless I have a legal basis to do so under data protection law and I will not process your personal data in a way you would not expect.

Newsletter:
When you subscribe to my newsletter mailing list you are consenting to receiving updates from me.

Inquiries

Sharing your data
We only share your personal data as an essential part of being able to maintain the website and the blog, as set out in this privacy notice:

MailChimp, which I use to collect and store the email addresses of subscribers to my newsletter and to deliver the newsletter to your email inboxes.
We may also share your personal data with third parties where required by law or where we have another legitimate interest in doing so.
 

Transferring your personal data outside the EEA
I use MailChimp to collect and store the email addresses of subscribers to my newsletter and to deliver the newsletter to your email inboxes.

 

How do I keep your data secure?
Wix has placed appropriate security measures to prevent your personal data from being accidentally lost, used or accessed in an unauthorized way, altered or disclosed.

Wix employs procedures to deal with any suspected data security breach and will notify you and any applicable regulator of a suspected breach where we are legally required to do so.

 

Unsubscribing
We retain your email address for as long as you are a subscriber to the newsletter.

You can unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time by clicking on the ‘unsubscribe’ link at the bottom of any newsletter or by contacting me at shpratt701@gmail.com.

 

Your rights
Under certain circumstances, by law you have the right to:

Request access to your personal data (commonly known as a “data subject access request”). This enables you to receive a copy of the personal data I hold about you and to check that I are lawfully processing it.
Request correction of the personal data that I hold about you. This enables you to have any incomplete or inaccurate information I hold about you corrected.
Request erasure of your personal data. This enables you to ask me to delete or remove personal data where there is no good reason for me continuing to process it.
Object to processing of your personal data where I am relying on a legitimate interest (or those of a third party) and there is something about your particular situation which makes you want to object to processing on this ground. You also have the right to object where I am processing your personal data for direct marketing purposes.
Request the restriction of processing of your personal data. This enables you to ask me to suspend the processing of your personal data, for example if you want me to establish its accuracy or the reason for processing it.
Request the transfer of your personal data to another party.
If you want to review, verify, correct or request erasure of your personal data, object to the processing of your personal data, or request that I transfer a copy of your personal data to another party, please contact me.

You will not have to pay a fee to access your personal data (or to exercise any of the other rights). However, I may charge a reasonable fee if your request for access is clearly unfounded or excessive. Alternatively, I may refuse to comply with the request in such circumstances.

You have the right to make a complaint at any time to the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO). I would, however, appreciate the chance to deal with your concerns before you approach the ICO so please contact me in the first instance.

 

Changes to this Privacy Notice
I reserve the right to update this privacy notice at any time.  I may also notify you in other ways from time to time about the processing of your personal data.

If you have any questions about this Privacy Notice, please contact me by emailing shpratt701@gmail.com
