To provide you with current information about my books and
other writer information, it is sometimes necessary to collect or process
information about you. In general terms, this information often takes on one or
more of the following forms:
- Information that you provide to me directly, such as my newsletter sign up or send me via a message on the blog, website or social media.
- Information that is inadvertently collected by the providers I use such as WordPress, Mailchimp, Google and social media sites that is automatically sent by your computer’s internet browser when you visit my website, blog or social media sites. This information could include your IP address, the internet browser you are using, email address, pages you visit etc.
This privacy policy sets out the detail of information collected,
as well as how that data is used and protected.
I endeavor to maintain the privacy of any information collected
and that the data is held securely, used appropriately and only retained for as
long as is necessary.
I do not share the information willingly with anyone else
although you should remain aware that services I use such as WordPress, Blogger
and other social media sites do have access to the information via their own
terms of service and have privacy policies of their own to protect this
information.
