This privacy policy explains how Margot Ann Ramsad (“I”, “me” or “my”) collects, uses and protects your personal information when you join my mailing list.

Information I collect

When you subscribe to my mailing list, I may collect:

Your name, if provided.
Your email address.
Your subscription preferences.
The date and method by which you subscribed.
Information about how you interact with my emails, such as whether an email has been opened or a link has been clicked, where this feature is provided by my mailing-list service.

How I use your information

I use your information to:

Send you author news and writing updates.
Share information about forthcoming books, cover reveals and release dates.
Provide exclusive content, giveaways or special offers.
Manage your subscription and mailing preferences.
Understand how readers engage with my emails and improve future communications.

I will only send you these emails where you have chosen to join my mailing list.

My lawful basis for using your information

My lawful basis for processing your information is consent. By submitting the subscription form and actively agreeing to receive emails, you consent to the use of your information for this purpose.

You may withdraw your consent at any time by selecting the unsubscribe link included at the bottom of every marketing email or by contacting me directly.

How your information is stored and shared

Your information is stored securely through IONOS, which helps me manage and distribute my emails.

I will not sell, rent or trade your personal information to another organisation.

Some service providers may process information outside the United Kingdom. Where this happens, appropriate safeguards will be used in accordance with UK data-protection law.

How long I keep your information

I will retain your mailing-list information for as long as you remain subscribed.

If you unsubscribe, your details will be removed from the active mailing list. A limited record may be retained on a suppression list to ensure that you are not contacted again unless you choose to resubscribe.

Ask for a copy of the personal information held about you.
Request that inaccurate information is corrected.
Request the deletion of your information.
