Who we are
Due to the GDPR change that came in on the 25th May 2019, I created this privacy policy, to confirm to you what information is gathered and how I use it.
What is being collected?
- For the newsletter, I’ll be collecting the following via MailerLite;
Your name, your email address. - For website subscriptions, so you’re told about the latest blog post;
Your name, your email address. - For purchasing a reading, I will need;
Your name, email address, question, preferred method of delivery
I’ll keep the information for as long as I need. For newsletters & the website, that’ll be until you unsubscribe. When you purchase a reading, I’ll keep a record for five years under HMRC requirements. After that, it’ll be deleted.
Who is collecting it?
- Mailerlite for the newsletter
- Website database tables for the blog subscriptions
- Me for readings
How & why is it collected?
- By voluntarily giving that information to me, or you are filling in the forms on the website.
- I can’t send out the newsletter without your name & email address.
- If you’ve purchased an email reading, I’ll need these details to verify you’re over 18 (or that you told me you were!) I do sometimes work out your birth cards for the Tarot readings, and it helps with some basic astrology, which can again tie in with your reading.
- If you’ve purchased a digital consultation, I will need this information so that I can deliver the reading at the time given.
How will it be used?
- For MailerLite, they’ll keep your information safe, secure and GDPR-compliant. The UK uses double opt-in, so you have to confirm your subscription to the newsletter.
- Me, myself and I will use the information from the website for blog post notifications or for organising readings. I don’t share it with anyone else, hence this privacy notice.
What will the effect be?
- Nothing at all, I hope! Beyond you clicking on the double acceptance for the newsletter.
- I won’t use your email address or contacts after you’ve had your reading. Unless you purchase another one later on.
Is this likely to make me complain at you, Louise?
Gosh, I hope not!
I don’t want to be on your email list anymore…
- Okay, that’s fine! There’s an opt-out option at the bottom of every newsletter. Just opt-out and go enjoy life! I’ll recover from your departure, eventually.
