This privacy policy explains how I collect, use and protect personal data through my author website, pjrauthor.uk.

Who I am

This website is operated by Peter Reynolds, author. For privacy-related questions, you can contact me at pjrauthor@gmail.com

What personal data I collect

The only personal data I collect through this website is your name and email address, if you choose to subscribe to my mailing list. I do not collect your postal address, telephone number, date of birth, payment details, or any other personal information through the mailing list.

Why I collect your email address

I collect your name and email address to send you occasional, personalised updates about my books, writing projects, new releases, author news, and related information. I will only send these emails if you have chosen to subscribe.

Lawful basis for using your data

The lawful basis for using your email address is consent. By subscribing to the mailing list, you give me permission to use your email address to send you author updates. You can withdraw your consent at any time by unsubscribing.

Unsubscribing

You can unsubscribe from the mailing list at any time. Each mailing list email will include an unsubscribe option, or you can contact me directly to request removal. Once you unsubscribe, I will stop using your email address for mailing list purposes.

How long I keep your data

I will keep your email address for as long as you remain subscribed to the mailing list. If you unsubscribe, your email address will be removed from the active mailing list.

Sharing your data

I will not sell, rent or share your email address with third parties for their own marketing purposes. If I use an email mailing-list provider, your email address may be stored and processed by that provider solely for the purpose of managing and sending the mailing list.

How your data is protected

I take reasonable steps to keep your email address secure and to prevent unauthorised access, loss, misuse or disclosure.

Your rights

Under UK data protection law, you have rights over your personal data. These may include the right to:

• ask what personal data I hold about you;
• ask for your email address to be corrected;
• ask for your email address to be deleted;
• withdraw your consent;
• object to receiving marketing emails.

To exercise any of these rights, contact me at:

pjrauthor@gmail.com

Complaints

If you are unhappy with how your personal data has been handled, please contact me first so I can try to resolve the issue. You also have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office, the UK data protection regulator.

Changes to this policy

I may update this privacy policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page.
