WHAT DATA IS COLLECTED?
When you
- contact Carmen via her website
- leave a comment on any of her posts
- sign up to her newsletter or
- send additional details to claim a prize,
any information you provide, e.g. e-mail address, name, IP address, favorite drink, will be considered “collected” for the purpose of this policy.
If you purchase any of her books via her website, your information as provided on the invoice is likewise deemed to have been “collected.”
Occasionally you may find reviews on this website. These will be either posted without clear attribution or with explicit permission.
WHAT DOES CARMEN DO WITH YOUR DATA?
Carmen generally manages the data as you would expect. If you signed up for the newsletter, you will receive newsletters. If you contact her, she might reply. If you win a prize, your information will be used to ensure you receive it. If you buy a book, your invoice data will be used to process your purchase.
WHAT DOES CARMEN NOT DO WITH YOUR DATA?
Sell it. Share it. Use it to aim third-party advertising at you.
Be assured that your information is only ever used for its intended purpose.
WHAT CAN YOU DO TO PROTECT YOURSELF?
Limit the amount of data you share. E-mail accounts are easy to come by, so you might want to use a private account for friends and families, and a separate one for non-private dealings.
You can request to see the data that relates to you. You can also opt out of newsletters simply by hitting the unsubscribe button in the e-mail or contacting Carmen directly.
You also have the right to request all your personal data be deleted.
