What data do I collect? 

  • Personal identification information, specifically your name, surname, and email address when you subscribe to the mailing list in accordance with GDPR. 
  • If you leave a comment on our website, 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. 

What data do I SEE but not collect? 

In addition to your name, surname, and email address, I also see your physical address, when you: 

  • Pay for a session via PayPal (You are covered here by PayPal’s Privacy Policy) 
  • I see your location, language, and email client in Mailchimp, when you subscribe to my mailing list. 

How do I collect your data? 

Your name, surname, and email address are collected in a database on MailChimp when you subscribe to my mailing list. 

Cookies 

If you leave a comment on my site, you may opt in to saving your name, email address and website in cookies. These are for your convenience so that you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment.  

Embedded content from other websites 

Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website. 

These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website. 

How will I use your data? 

I collect your data so that I can: 

  • Inform you of any changes to services, prices or working hours. 

Your data is NEVER shared with anyone, or any other company. When emailing groups of people, MailChimp is used and all subscriber’s email addresses are hidden. 

How do I store your data? 

Your name, surname, and email address are stored in MailChimp.  

Your physical address will be seen in the payment email from PayPal when you pay for a session. These emails are kept in client folders stored on my local machine. 

What are your data protection rights? 

I would like to make sure you are fully aware of all your data protection rights. Every contact is entitled to the following: 

The right to access – you have the right to request that I provide you with copies of your personal data. 

The right to rectification – you have the right to request that I correct any information you believe is inaccurate. You also have the right to request that I complete information you believe is incomplete. 

The right to erasure – you have the right to request that I erase your personal data, under certain conditions. 

The right to restrict processing – you have the right to request that I restrict the processing of your personal data, under certain conditions. This is only possible if I have direct control over the data, and not if it is held by a third-party company like MailChimp or PayPal. 

The right to object to processing – you have the right to object to me processing your personal data, under certain conditions. This is only possible if I have direct control over the data, and not if it is held by a third-party company like MailChimp or PayPal. 

The right to data portability – you have the right to request that I transfer the data that I have collected to another organisation, or directly to you, under certain conditions. 

If you make a request, we have one month to respond to you. If you would like to exercise any of these rights, please use the contact details below.
