Privacy
What is collected, why, and how to get rid of it
Short, specific, and written to be read rather than to be defensible.

What this page is
This is a template. The words below are a plausible starting point written for a one-person advisory and teaching business, not legal advice, and they have not been reviewed by a lawyer. Before this site goes live under your name, have somebody qualified read it against the law where you and your readers actually are.
Wherever a bracketed placeholder appears, replace it. Wherever a paragraph describes something you do not do, delete it — a privacy notice that overstates what you collect is as misleading as one that understates it.
What is collected
Two things, in the ordinary course. First, anything you type into a form on this site — your name, your email address, and whatever you write in the message field. Second, standard analytics about pages visited, roughly where in the world the request came from, and which site sent you here.
Payment details, if you buy something, are handled entirely by the payment processor. They are never sent to this site and are never stored on it.
Why it is collected
To reply to you, to deliver anything you have bought, and to send the newsletter to people who asked for it. Analytics exist to see which pages are useful and which are not.
Nothing collected here is sold, rented, or handed to a data broker.
The newsletter
Subscribing means you get the letter. It does not mean anything else. There is an unsubscribe link at the top of every issue, and unsubscribing removes your address rather than suppressing it.
Writing to the contact form does not subscribe you.
How long anything is kept
Enquiries are kept for as long as the conversation is live and for a reasonable period afterwards. Newsletter addresses are kept until you unsubscribe. Records connected to a purchase are kept as long as tax law requires.
Your rights
You can ask what is held about you, ask for it to be corrected, or ask for it to be deleted, and the answer will not be an argument. Depending on where you live you may have further rights under the GDPR, the UK GDPR, or state privacy law in the United States.
To exercise any of this, write to [your contact email]. Expect a reply within a few working days.
Getting in touch
Questions about any of this go to [your contact email], and they are answered by a person.
