1. Overview
Your privacy matters to me. This page explains what information I collect when you visit my website, how it’s used, and your rights under UK data-protection law (UK GDPR & Data Protection Act 2018).
2. Information I Collect
I keep data collection to the bare minimum. Information may include:
- Analytics data – anonymous statistics such as page views, time on page, and device type (collected via Google Analytics / Site Kit). This helps me understand which parts of the site people read most.
- Contact form submissions or emails – your name, email address, and any message you send.
- Technical data – your IP address, browser type, and referrer, which are logged automatically by the server for security.
3. How I Use It
- To reply to your enquiries.
- To analyse site performance and improve the reading experience.
- To protect the site from spam or malicious activity.
I do not sell, rent, or share your data with third parties for marketing.
4. Cookies
This site uses cookies for essential functionality and anonymous analytics.
You can disable cookies in your browser settings if you prefer, though some parts of the site may not work properly.
5. Third-Party Services
- Google Analytics / Site Kit – processes anonymised usage data; see Google’s Privacy Policy.
- WordPress Plugins – may set functional cookies (for caching, spam protection, or security). These do not track personal information beyond what’s required for site performance.
6. Data Storage & Security
Email enquiries and form submissions are stored securely and only as long as needed to handle your request. Analytics data is aggregated and anonymised.
7. Your Rights
Under UK GDPR you can request to:
- Access, correct, or delete your personal data.
- Withdraw consent for data processing.
To make a request, contact me via the Contact page.
8. Children
This site is intended for adult readers. I do not knowingly collect data from anyone under 16.
9. Updates
I may update this policy occasionally to reflect changes in the law or how the site operates. The latest version will always appear on this page.
