Last updated March 2022
The Privacy Policy sets out the online information and data collection practices of www.sarahblyth.com. It outlines how we collect and process your personal data through the use of our website (the “Site”), and the ways in which we use this information. For the purpose of this Privacy Policy, personal data shall mean any information that can be use to identify an individual whether directly or indirectly as defined by the UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018.
Please read through the content of this Privacy Policy carefully and ensure that you understand it. By visiting and using the Site, you agree that your use of our Site, and any dispute over privacy, is governed by this Privacy Policy. Because the Web is a growing and evolving space, we may need to change our Privacy Policy at some point in the future, in which case we'll post the changes to this Privacy Policy on this website and update the Effective Date of the policy to reflect the date of the changes. We will endeavour to notify with 30 days notice of any changes made and the effective date. By continuing to use the Site after we post any such changes, you accept the Privacy Policy as modified. We will never sell, barter, or rent your email address to any unauthorised third party.
How I collect and use information
This Site only contacts individuals who specifically request that we do so or in the event that they have signed up to receive our free email communications. Generally, this information includes name and e-mail address for registration to receive our updates or when we share a new post, service, or product. All of this information is provided to us by you. In the future, our email communications may include other information, and we reserve the right to update this policy to reflect this.
We also collect and store information that is generated automatically as you navigate online through the Site. For example, we may collect information about your computer’s connection to the Internet, which allows us, among other things, to improve the delivery of our web pages to you and to measure traffic on the Site. We may also use a standard feature found in browser software called a “cookie” to enhance your experience with the Site. Cookies are small files that your web browser places on your hard drive for record-keeping purposes. By showing how and when visitors use the Site, cookies help us deliver advertisements, identify how many unique users visit our site, and track user trends and patterns. They also prevent you from having to re-enter your preferences on certain areas of the Site where you may have entered preference information before. The Site also may use web beacons (single-pixel graphic files also known as “transparent GIFs”) to access cookies and to count users who visit the Site or open HTML-formatted email messages. Details of how to disable cookies on your own web browser can be found in our Cookies Policy.
The information that you give to us directly on the site (e.g. within comments on blog posts such as your name and email address) is never shared or added to any mailing lists. You may request to have your details removed from our website, for example those left in comments, at any time by emailing us here.
To ensure the security and safety of this site, we may create regular backups of all information on this site, which are held on our own machine or within the database of the server of our site. Each backup file will be deleted in full when the next one is created.
The Site may include links to websites we recommend or work with on a collaborative basis, and provide access to products and services offered by third parties, whose privacy policies we do not control. Some of the links we provide may be “affiliate links.” This means if you click on the link and purchase the item connected to that link, we will receive an affiliate commission at no cost to you. When you access another website or purchase third-party products or services through the site, use of any information you provide is governed by the privacy policy of the operator of the site you are visiting, or the provider of such products or services.
Be aware that we may occasionally release information about our visitors when release is appropriate to comply with law or to protect the rights, property or safety of users of the site or the public.
Affiliate links and non-disclosure
Some links on this site may be affiliate links. These are links to products or services that we highly recommend and are an affiliate for. Should you click on one of these links and decide to purchase the service(s) or product(s), we will receive a small commission of the sale at no extra cost to you.
Links to third-party web sites or services are not owned or controlled by ourselves.
We have no control over, and assume no responsibility for, the content, privacy policies, or practices of any third party web sites or services. You further acknowledge and agree that this website and its owner shall not be responsible or liable, directly or indirectly, for any damage or loss caused or alleged to be caused by or in connection with use of or reliance on any such content, goods or services available on or through any such web sites or services.
