Information Collected Automatically
When you visit my websites, certain technical information may be collected automatically, such as your browser type, operating system, device information and general information about how you interact with the site.
I may also collect information through cookies, pixels and similar technologies.
Cookies Policy
My websites use cookies and similar technologies to help the sites function correctly, remember preferences, understand how visitors use the sites and measure the effectiveness of advertising.
Some cookies may be set by third-party services used on my websites.
You can control or disable cookies through your browser settings. Disabling certain cookies may affect how some parts of the websites function.
Analytics and Advertising
I may use analytics and advertising technologies to understand how visitors interact with my websites, and to measure the effectiveness of my advertising through use of pixels.
I do not personally identify or track individual visitors. Information collected through third-party technologies is processed by the third parties in accordance with their own privacy policies.
I may also use other advertising or analytics providers where appropriate. These third parties may use cookies or similar technologies to provide their services.
How I Use Your Personal Data
Where permitted by law, I may use your personal data to:
Operate and manage my websites.
Respond to questions, comments and requests.
Send newsletters, book news, offers and other marketing communications where you have chosen to receive them.
Provide free content or other materials you have requested.
Understand and improve my websites and services.
Measure and improve the effectiveness of my advertising.
Comply with legal or regulatory obligations.
Sharing Your Personal Data
I take your privacy seriously and will never sell your personal data.
I may share limited information with third-party service providers where necessary for them to provide services on my behalf. These may include email marketing providers, website and hosting services, analytics providers and advertising platforms such as Meta.
These providers process information according to their own legal obligations and, where applicable, agreements governing the handling of personal data.
I may also disclose personal data where required by law.
Data Security
I take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect the minimal personal data I collect against accidental loss, misuse, unauthorised access, alteration or disclosure.
However, no method of transmitting or storing information online can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
Data Retention
I retain personal data only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, including satisfying legal, accounting or reporting requirements.
I periodically review the personal data I hold and delete or anonymise information that is no longer required.
Where information has been anonymised so that it can no longer identify an individual, I may retain and use that information for statistical or analytical purposes.
Children
My websites and books are intended for adults. I do not knowingly collect personal data from children.
If you believe that a child has provided personal data through one of my websites, please contact me so that I can take appropriate action.
Your Data Protection Rights
Under applicable data protection law, including the GDPR, you may have the right to:
Request access to the personal data I hold about you.
Ask me to correct inaccurate or incomplete information.
Request deletion of your personal data in certain circumstances.
Request restriction of processing.
Object to certain types of processing.
Request the transfer of your personal data where applicable.
Withdraw consent at any time where I rely on consent to process your information.
To exercise any of these rights, please contact me at info@elizagreenbooks.com.
You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the Data Protection Commission (DPC) in Ireland.
Change of Purpose
I will normally use your personal data only for the purposes for which it was collected.
If I need to use your personal data for another purpose, I will only do so where that purpose is compatible with the original purpose or where another lawful basis allows me to do so.
Where required, I will notify you and explain the legal basis for the new use.
