If you sign up for my newsletter, I collect the information you provide, normally your email address and, where requested, your name.

I use MailerLite to manage subscribers and send my emails.

MailerLite processes subscriber information on my behalf as a data processor. MailerLite may process personal data through its affiliates and sub-processors, including internationally, subject to applicable contractual and legal safeguards.

I use your information to send you the communications you signed up to receive, which may include:

5. Free books and reader magnets

I may offer free books, novellas, bonus chapters or other reader content in exchange for signing up to my newsletter.

Where BookFunnel is used to deliver a digital download, BookFunnel may process information necessary to provide that download.

BookFunnel's own privacy terms will apply to information it processes through its service.

6. My website and Wix

My website is hosted and operated using Wix.

Wix processes information as necessary to provide website hosting, security, functionality and related services.

Some information may also be processed automatically when you visit the website, including technical information about your device, browser and interaction with the website.

7. Website analytics — TWIPLA

I use TWIPLA (Visitor Analytics) to understand how visitors use my website and to help me improve it.

Depending on the configuration of the service, information may include things such as:

• Browser and operating system information.

• Pages visited.

• Links interacted with.

• IP address or information derived from it.

• Visit duration.

• Referring website information.

• Device and usage information.

TWIPLA acts as a data processor for customers using its analytics service and provides privacy controls for data collection. TWIPLA's current privacy information describes different privacy modes and data-collection settings available through its Privacy Center.

Where analytics are considered non-essential, they are subject to the applicable consent requirements through my cookie consent system.

8. Cookies and similar technologies

My website uses cookies and similar technologies.

Some cookies are necessary for the website to function correctly. These essential technologies may operate without consent where permitted by law.

Other cookies or tracking technologies, such as analytics technologies, may require your consent.

My website uses Usercentrics to manage cookie consent and allow visitors to make choices about applicable cookies and tracking technologies.

Where consent is required, non-essential cookies and tracking technologies will only be used in accordance with your choices.

You can change or withdraw your cookie preferences using the privacy or cookie controls available on my website.

I aim to keep information about the cookies and similar technologies used on my website clear and up to date. The ICO recommends that organisations identify their cookies, explain their purposes and provide an appropriate mechanism for controlling non-essential cookies.

9. Lawful bases for processing

Under applicable UK data protection law, I rely on one or more of the following lawful bases where applicable:

Consent

Where you have actively given consent to a particular use of your information.

For example, subscribing to my newsletter or consenting to non-essential cookies.

You can withdraw your consent at any time.

Legitimate interests

Where processing is necessary for my legitimate interests and those interests are not overridden by your rights and freedoms.

For example, maintaining website security, managing ordinary enquiries and improving my website.

Contract

Where processing is necessary to provide something you have requested or to take steps at your request before entering into a contract.

Legal obligation

Where processing is necessary for me to comply with a legal or regulatory obligation.

10. Who I share your information with

I may share personal information with service providers where this is necessary to operate my website or provide something you have requested.

These may include:

• Wix — website hosting and functionality.

• MailerLite — newsletter management and email delivery.

• TWIPLA — website analytics.

• Usercentrics — cookie consent management.

• BookFunnel — delivery of reader magnets and digital content where applicable.

I may also disclose information where required by law or where reasonably necessary to protect my legal rights, website, business or users.

I do not sell your personal information to third parties.

11. International transfers

Some of the service providers I use may process personal information outside the United Kingdom.

Where personal information is transferred internationally, I will take appropriate steps to ensure that the transfer is made in accordance with applicable data protection law and that appropriate safeguards are used where required.

For example, MailerLite's current data-processing terms provide for international processing and transfers subject to applicable data protection requirements and safeguards.

12. How long I keep your information

I keep personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, unless a longer retention period is required by law.

For newsletter subscribers, I generally keep your information while you remain subscribed.

If you unsubscribe, your information may be removed from active marketing lists, although limited information may be retained where necessary to record your unsubscribe request or for legitimate administrative or legal purposes.

Information relating to enquiries will generally be retained only for as long as reasonably necessary to deal with the enquiry and maintain appropriate records.

Analytics information is retained according to the relevant service's settings and retention periods.

13. Your data protection rights

Depending on the circumstances, you may have rights under UK data protection law, including the right to:

• Request access to the personal information I hold about you.

• Ask me to correct inaccurate or incomplete information.

• Request deletion of your personal information.

• Request restriction of certain processing.

• Object to certain processing.

• Withdraw consent where processing is based on consent.

• Request data portability where this right applies.

You also have the right to object to direct marketing.

To exercise your rights, contact me at:

I may need to ask for information to verify your identity before dealing with certain requests.

The specific rights available to you can depend on the lawful basis and circumstances of the processing.

14. Complaints

If you have a concern about how I have handled your personal information, please contact me first using:

hello@skylamoon.com

I will do my best to resolve your concern.

You also have the right to complain to the UK's data protection regulator, the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO).

You can find information about making a complaint through the ICO's website.

15. Children's privacy

My website is not specifically directed at children and I do not knowingly collect children's personal information for marketing purposes.

If you believe a child has provided personal information to me in circumstances where it should not have been collected, please contact me so that I can take appropriate action.

16. Links to other websites

My website may contain links to third-party websites, including book retailers, social media platforms, BookFunnel and other services.

I am not responsible for the privacy practices, content or security of third-party websites.

I recommend reading the privacy policy of any third-party website you visit.
