  1. About this policy

This Privacy Policy explains how Pamela Watson (“I”, “me” or “my”) collects, uses and protects personal information when you visit pamelawatson.com, subscribe to my newsletters, contact me, download resources, or otherwise interact with my website and online services.

I respect your privacy and aim to handle your personal information fairly, lawfully and transparently in accordance with applicable UK data protection law, including the UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018.

For questions about this policy or how your personal information is used, please contact:

hello@pamelawatson.com

  1. Information I may collect

Depending on how you interact with me and the website, I may collect:

Information you provide

This may include:

  • your name and email address when you subscribe to a newsletter such as Hit the Road;
  • information you provide when downloading a resource or completing a form;
  • messages and other information you provide when contacting me by email, through the website or through social media;
  • information relating to purchases of books, products or services, where applicable; and
  • any other information you choose to provide directly.

Technical and usage information

When you use the website, certain technical information may be collected automatically. This may include your IP address, browser and device information, pages visited, referring website, approximate location, and information about how you use the website.

Some of this information may be collected using cookies and similar technologies. See the Cookies section below and my Cookie Policy for more information.

  1. How I use your information

I may use personal information to:

  • provide and operate this website and my online services;
  • send newsletters and other communications you have asked to receive;
  • provide downloads, information, products or services you request;
  • respond to messages and enquiries;
  • administer purchases and transactions;
  • understand how people use my website and improve its content and functionality;
  • maintain the security and integrity of my website and systems;
  • maintain appropriate business and financial records; and
  • comply with legal and regulatory obligations.

I will only use personal information where I have a lawful basis for doing so.

Depending on the circumstances, this may include your consent, performance of a contract, compliance with a legal obligation, or my legitimate interests, provided those interests do not override your rights and interests.

  1. Newsletters and email communications

If you subscribe to Hit the Road or another Pamela Watson newsletter, I will use the contact information you provide to send you the communications you requested.

Where consent is required for email marketing, I rely on your consent. Subscribing requires a positive action by you.

You may unsubscribe at any time by using the Unsubscribe link included in my marketing emails or by contacting me at:

hello@pamelawatson.com

Unsubscribing from marketing communications does not necessarily require me to delete information that I need to retain for another lawful purpose, such as transaction or legal records.

I do not sell or provide my subscriber list to third parties for their own marketing.

  1. Kajabi and email management

I use Kajabi to help manage newsletter subscriptions, contacts, email communications, landing pages and other online services.

When you subscribe through a form using Kajabi, information such as your name, email address, subscription status and information relating to your interaction with my communications may be processed through Kajabi on my behalf.

Kajabi has its own privacy and data-protection practices and may process information in countries outside the United Kingdom.

  1. Other service providers

I may use trusted third-party service providers to operate and support my website and business. These may include providers of:

  • website hosting and technical services;
  • email and marketing services;
  • analytics;
  • payment and transaction services;
  • data storage and backup;
  • professional services such as accounting and legal advice; and
  • security and administration services.

Where these organisations process personal information on my behalf, I expect them to protect that information appropriately and use it only for the purposes for which it has been provided.

I may also disclose information where required by law, regulation, court order or another lawful request by a public authority.

  1. Cookies and similar technologies

My website may use cookies and similar technologies to make the website work, remember preferences, understand how the website is used and, where applicable, support other online functionality.

Some cookies are necessary for the website to function. Other cookies or similar technologies, including certain analytics or tracking technologies, may require your consent.

Where consent is required, you should be given an appropriate opportunity to accept or reject those technologies.

For further information about the cookies used on the website and how to manage your choices, please see my Cookie Policy.

  1. Analytics

I may use analytics services to understand how visitors use the website. Depending on the service and configuration being used, this may involve collecting information such as pages visited, how visitors reached the website, device or browser information and general usage patterns.

Where the use of analytics cookies or similar technologies requires consent, they should only be used in accordance with the choices you make through the website’s cookie controls.

  1. International transfers

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

Where personal information is transferred internationally, I take reasonable steps to ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place as required by applicable UK data protection law.

  1. Data security

I take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect personal information from accidental loss, misuse, unauthorised access, alteration or disclosure.

However, no method of transmitting or storing information electronically can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

  1. 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, including satisfying legal, accounting and reporting requirements.

The appropriate retention period depends on the nature of the information, why it is being processed and any applicable legal requirements.

Where you unsubscribe from marketing communications, I may retain limited information necessary to record and respect your decision not to receive further marketing.

  1. Your rights

Under UK data protection law, depending on the circumstances, you may have rights relating to your personal information, including the right to:

  • request access to your personal information;
  • ask for inaccurate information to be corrected;
  • request deletion of your information;
  • request restriction of processing;
  • object to certain processing;
  • request transfer of your information in certain circumstances; and
  • withdraw consent where processing is based on consent.

If you wish to exercise any of these rights, please contact:

hello@pamelawatson.com

I may need information from you to confirm your identity before responding to a request.

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

  1. Third-party websites

My website may contain links to third-party websites and services.

I am not responsible for the privacy practices of websites operated by other organisations. If you follow a link to another website, you should review that organisation’s privacy information.

  1. Children

This website and my newsletters are not directed at children, and I do not knowingly seek to collect personal information from children.

If I become aware that personal information relating to a child has been collected in circumstances where it should not have been, I will take appropriate steps to delete it.

  1. Changes to this Privacy Policy

I may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes to my website, services, technology or legal obligations.
