During a session
- I never ask for, see or keep your passwords. You log in yourself.
- I don't record sessions unless you ask me to and agree in writing first.
- I don't keep copies of your booking data or your guests' details. Anything you send me for the session is deleted within 30 days unless you ask me to keep it.
Who I share it with
Only the services that run this business, each under its own privacy terms:
- MailerLite: email list and guide delivery
- Web3Forms: delivers contact form messages to me
- Cal.com: session booking
- Stripe: payments
- Zoom: video calls
- Cloudflare: website hosting
- Google and Meta: analytics and advertising measurement, only if you accept cookies
Some of these services store data outside the UK. Where they do, they use the safeguards UK law requires, such as approved contract terms.
I never sell your information.
How long I keep it
- Guide and mailing list: until you unsubscribe.
- Session bookings and payment records: 6 years, for tax and accounting.
- Messages: up to 2 years after we last spoke.
