Privacy policy

Effective Date: 26th April 2025

Welcome to my website, francesdanylec.com (the “Site”). Your privacy is important to me. This Privacy Policy explains how I collect, use, and protect your personal information when you visit my website, contact me, or sign up for my mailing list.

1. Information I collect

I may collect the following types of personal information:

  • Contact Information: When you fill out my contact form, I collect your name, email address, and any other information you choose to provide in your message.
  • Mailing List Information: If you subscribe to my mailing list, I collect your name and email address using a third-party provider (kit.com)
  • Technical Information: Like most websites, I may collect non-personal data such as your IP address, browser type, and pages you visit, typically through cookies and analytics services. Read my cookie notice.

2. How I use your information

I use your information to:

  • Respond to your enquiries submitted through the contact form.
  • Send you updates, newsletters, and other communications if you have subscribed to my mailing list.
  • Maintain and improve the functionality and security of the Site.

3. Retention periods

In accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), I only retain your personal information for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected.

  • Contact Form Enquiries: If you contact me through the Site, I will retain your information for up to 18 months after our last communication unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law.
  • Mailing List Subscribers: If you subscribe to my mailing list, this information will be retained by the mailing list provider (Kit.com) until you unsubscribe or request that your information be deleted.

4. How I Protect Your Information

I take appropriate security measures to protect your personal information from unauthorised access, use, or disclosure. However, please note that no method of transmission over the internet is completely secure.

Sharing of Information

  • I do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information to others.
  • I may share information with trusted service providers (like my email newsletter platform kit.com) who assist me in operating my website and communications — but only to the extent necessary for them to provide their services.
  • Confidentiality is important to me, and I won’t share what you include on your contact form unless I’m worried about your safety or the safety of others. In these cases:
    • In the first instance, I’ll talk to you about the need for other people to know
    • If I’m concerned that talking to you further about this would risk your safety or the safety of others, I may immediately report my concerns to the relevant authorities.

5. Your Rights

You have the right to:

  • Access the personal data I hold about you, under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
  • Request correction or deletion of your personal information.
  • Withdraw your consent to receiving emails at any time by clicking “unsubscribe” at the bottom of my emails or by contacting me directly.

6. Third-Party Links

This Site may contain links to other websites. I am not responsible for the privacy practices of other sites. Please review their privacy policies separately.

7. Cookies

This Site may use cookies to enhance your browsing experience. You can adjust your browser settings to refuse cookies or alert you when cookies are being used. Read my cookie notice.

8. Changes to this Privacy Policy

  • I may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When I do, I will revise the “Effective Date” at the top of this page.
  • I recommend that you check this page for any updates as and when you visit the Site.
  • Your continued use of the Site after changes are posted means you accept the updated policy.
