Letters from Bea & Eve and email updates
If you subscribe to Letters from Bea & Eve, I use your first name and email address to send you the updates you have signed up for. You may also receive news about new content, Skills Collections, interviews, masterclasses and events, in line with your subscription and the consent you have given.
If you choose to provide your county, I may use it to understand where subscribers are based and help inform the location of future in-person events.
I use Brevo to manage email subscriptions and send emails. Brevo processes subscriber information on my behalf to provide these services.
You can unsubscribe at any time using the unsubscribe link in an email. Once you unsubscribe, I will stop sending you the relevant marketing emails. I may retain a limited record of your unsubscribe preference so that I can respect it.
I do not sell your personal information or give other businesses your email address so they can market their own products or services to you.
6.
Who I share information with
I may share personal information with service providers where necessary to operate Bea & Eve, including:
-
Wix: which hosts my website and provides website-related services.
-
Brevo: which I use to manage email subscriptions and send email updates.
These providers process information in connection with the services they provide. Their own privacy and data protection terms may also apply.
I may also disclose personal information where necessary to comply with legal obligations or protect my rights.
Some service providers may process information outside the UK. Where this happens, appropriate safeguards will be required where applicable under data protection law.
7.
How long I keep your information
I keep personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes explained in this policy, taking account of any legal requirements.
Email subscribers: I keep your information while you remain subscribed. After you unsubscribe, I may retain a limited record of your preference to ensure I do not contact you again.
Enquiries: I keep messages for as long as needed to respond and deal with any follow-up.
Website usage information: retention depends on the relevant Wix features, analytics tools and their settings.
I review the information I hold and delete it when it is no longer needed.
8.
