HOW IS YOUR DATA USED?

- Email you to answer questions or with information, offers, products or services he thinks that you might be interested in. This would include future book releases.
- He does not directly share the data he collects about you with any external companies, bodies or organisations. However, you should be aware that when you conduct a transaction on this website, such as buying books or placing any other type of order, the payments are not managed by the author personally but through a merchant third party. They will have their own privacy policy which is separate from his. If you wish to know more about how they collect and use your data, then please click on the appropriate link on their website when you are making a purchase.
HOW DOES HE STORE YOUR DATA?
Any data collected by the author is stored on a password protected spreadsheet database, hosted securely on a password protected cloud data storage platform. Your data will be stored for up to 18 months after which time it is deleted.
MARKETING
The author would like to send you information about products and services he offers that he thinks you might like. Most obviously, any future releases of new books by the author or similar books he would recommend. If any books in the collection are made into other media forms such as audio books, podcasts, films, radio broadcasts or TV shows, he would also like to inform you about that as well.
If you have agreed to receive marketing, you may always opt out at a later date.
You have the right to opt out at any time, to stop him from contacting you for marketing purposes.

WHAT ARE YOUR DATA PROTECTION RIGHTS?
He would like to make sure you are fully aware of all of your data protection rights. Every user is entitled to the following:
The right to access – You have the right to request the author for copies of your personal data. If you are happy for this to be done by email this would be free, but if you wish to have a hard copy mailed to you, we will charge you £2.
The right to rectification – You have the right to request that the author correct any information you believe to be inaccurate. You also have the right to request the author to complete any information you believe to be incomplete.
The right to erasure – Despite their impressive back catalogue of toe tapping hits, this has nothing to do with the 80s pop band of the same name. It means that you have the right to request that the author erase your personal data from any data base.
The right to restrict processing – You have the right to request that the author restrict the processing of your personal data under certain circumstances (to be dictated by you).
The right to object to processing – You have the right to object to the author processing your personal data under certain circumstances (to be dictated by you).
The right to data portability – You have the right to request that the author transfer the data that he collects about you to another organisation or directly to you under certain conditions.
If you make a request, we have one month to respond to you. If you would like to exercise any of these rights, please contact him by email: grahamle4rhoose@gmail.com.
