How I collect information
I use Mailchimp to manage my mailing list. You will only be included on this mailing list if you have signed up for my newsletter, or if you have specifically asked me to add you to it via email or social media message. If you wish to unsubscribe from these emails, you can do so at any time by following the unsubscribe link at the bottom of one of my mail newsletters. If you’d like to sign up, simply do so using the Mailchimp form at the bottom of my website.
Whenever you arrange services with me, either directly, via social media platforms such as Facebook or Instagram or through my website, you give me sufficient information about you to enable me to process the order.
Depending upon the services, I may ask for more detailed information to fulfil the order. This information will never be used for any other purpose, and once you are happy that your order has been completed to a satisfactory standard, I will destroy this information, or keep it in a secure manner so as to continue our working relationship without compromise.
