​

This Privacy Policy explains what personal information may be collected when you visit this website, contact me, subscribe to receive updates, or interact with links and services available through the site.

​

Information I collect

​

I may collect information that you provide directly, including your name, email address and any information you include in a contact form or message.

​

If you subscribe to receive news or updates, I may also store your email address and subscription preferences.

The website may also collect technical information automatically, such as your IP address, browser or device information, pages visited, referral information and interactions with the website.

​

How your information is used

​

Your information may be used to:

• respond to enquiries or messages;

• send news, book updates or other emails that you have requested;

• operate, maintain and improve the website;

• understand how visitors use the website;

• measure the effectiveness of advertising;

• protect the website from misuse, fraud or security threats; and

• comply with legal obligations.

 

Where you have subscribed to marketing emails, those emails are sent on the basis of your consent. You may unsubscribe at any time.

​

Other information may be processed where necessary for legitimate interests in operating, improving and promoting this website and my books, provided those interests do not override your privacy rights.

​

Cookies, analytics and advertising

​

This website may use cookies and similar technologies for essential website functions, analytics and advertising measurement.

​

The site uses Wix services and may use Meta advertising technologies, including the Meta Pixel and Conversions API, to understand whether advertising leads to visits and actions on the website.

​

Where required, advertising and other non-essential tracking technologies are only activated after you have given the appropriate consent through the website's cookie controls.

​

You can change or withdraw your cookie preferences using the cookie settings available on the website.

​

Third-party services

​

In operating this website I may use third-party service providers including Wix, Google and Meta.

​

These companies may process information on my behalf or receive information generated through your interaction with the website, depending on the services used and your consent choices.

​

The website also contains links to third-party retailers, including Amazon. If you follow one of these links, your subsequent interaction with that website is governed by the retailer's own privacy policy and terms.

​

International transfers

​

Some service providers may process information outside the United Kingdom.

​

Where personal information is transferred internationally, appropriate safeguards required under applicable UK data-protection law are relied upon, where necessary.

​

How long information is kept

​

Contact enquiries and correspondence are retained for as long as reasonably necessary to respond to you and maintain appropriate business records.

Subscriber information is normally retained until you unsubscribe or ask for it to be deleted.

​

Website analytics and advertising information is retained according to the settings and retention policies of the relevant service providers.

Information that is no longer reasonably required will be deleted or anonymised where appropriate.

​

Your rights

 

Depending on the circumstances, UK data-protection law may give you rights to:

• request access to your personal information;

• ask for inaccurate information to be corrected;

• request deletion of your information;

• restrict or object to certain uses of your information;

• request transfer of certain information; and

• withdraw consent where processing is based on consent.

• ​

You may exercise these rights by contacting:

You also have the right to raise a complaint with the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO).
