Data Privacy Statement
Personal data
Personal data relates to a living individual who can be identified from that data. Identification can be by the information alone or in conjunction with any other information in the data controller’s possession or likely to come into such possession. The processing of personal data is governed by the General Data Protection Regulation (the ‘GDPR’).
Who we are
Our website address is: https://www.themecfsholisticcoach.com. Julie Holliday (The ME/CFS Self-Help Guru) is the data controller. That means she decides how your personal data is processed and for what purposes.
What personal data we collect and why we collect it:
Comments
If you leave a comment on the site, I ask for your name, email (which is not displayed on the site) and website (if you’ve got one) This information is used so other visitors will know who left the comment. The website also collects the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection.
An anonymised string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.
Media
If you upload images to the website, you should avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) included. Visitors to the website can download and extract any location data from images on the website.
Contact form
The information collected via the form (name, email and message) simply allows me to reply to you and answer any questions.
Arrange and appointment form
The information collected via the form (name, email and skype or google+ contact details) simply allow me to contact you about the appointment and connect with you at the time of the appointment. It uses the online scheduling tool ‘You can book me’. You can find more about the You can book me privacy policy here: https://youcanbook.me/privacy/
Email subscription sign up form
The information collected on the email subscription sign-up form: email address, first name* and last name* (* optional) is used to send you emails about my news, events, products and services, as well as my special sign up offer. As a member of my email list you can elect to be offered priority discounts on my products and services. I do not share this information for any purpose (unless legally obliged to do so). I use INBOX to store this information and send you emails. You can unsubscribe from these emails at any time.
