This privacy policy sets out how I, Roz Morris, use and protect any information you give me when you use my websites or my services.
I am committed to ensuring that your privacy is protected. If I ask you to provide information by which you can be identified when using this website, you can be assured that it will only be used in accordance with this privacy statement and only for the purpose you gave it.
The following information may be collected: name and contact information including email address, information relevant to customer surveys and offers, information relevant to courses, workshop or retreat attendance, information relevant to the carrying out of my editorial services.
For clients of my editorial services
If you have used my editorial, manuscript, coaching or consultancy services, or attended a live course or workshop, I may keep data such as phone numbers, email and postal addresses, background information about the manuscript you’re submitting and reports and correspondence.
This data will be kept private. I do not share your information with any third parties. I keep all correspondence and reports so that we have a full trail of the progress of a project and to help me advise you in as complete a way as possible. All materials are confidential and will not be shown to or discussed with third parties unless you wish me to. See also consultancy terms and conditions for a statement about copyright.
Information gathered is to understand your needs and provide you with a better service and in particular for the following reasons:
· Internal record keeping
· I may use the information (from surveys and feedback, for instance) to improve and develop my products and services
· I may contact you by email for market research purposes (for example a survey) and use the information to improve services according to your interests.
I am committed to ensuring that your information is secure and will never give away or sell your details to a third party. I will take suitable steps to safeguard the information I collect.
Some information is also collected via third party platforms to facilitate the running of the business:
· Paypal for payments and transfers of money: https://www.paypal.com/en/webapps/mpp/ua/privacy-full
Information from Paypal such as invoices and receipts are kept for the length of time required by the HMRC, (currently 6 years from the end of the last financial year to which they relate, or longer if they show a transaction that covers more than one accounting period).
